Ty and his men have been doing this for over 30 years. Don't you think he knows what he's doing? They went specifically with information on Natalie. Would'nt you agree that a lot of planning went into their trip? Not only for the safety of the young girl, but for themselves? Changing plans at the last moment to rescue other girls could put the men in danger. They have families I'm sure that they would like to come home to. Didn't you hear that he has brought back 30 or so children?  I find it disgraceful that you would assume the only children that are being rescued are white. What does your husband, father, brother do for a living? Perhaps you should be thankful that there are people out there that risk there lives for complete stangers.

Dear Raul, If the decisions of those who govern aruba are jeapordizing your life in paradise on earth, may I respectfully suggest you work hard for political change in aruba. In the meantime, consider marketing other countries for business. If you can develop other sources of income, your people will not need to depend on dangerous and unfair Americans like Natalee. No doubt Americans will return to your island, but not this American. vgerheim AMERICA

What about the women out there that make it without benefit of Dr Phil? 

  

I had to take out loans to go to school, take care of my children, and pay my own bills, all the while trying to fight for my freedom from a drug addict. The law stood by and let him do whatever he wanted to terrorize us.  The judge let him get away with the house, the business and no child support.  

We survived, but not with new furniture, cars or any help from anyone but God. 

My children are scarred for life. My son is 28 years old and still has nightmares about his father's torment. 

  

I applaud the ladies on the show.  They have made great progress, but not without help.

Basically, in this day of talk and reality shows, the lesson I see being presented is, that if you mess up, get hooked on drugs and booze, marry the wrong guy and/or cheat on your husband, get too fat or way too thin, you will get lots of love and admiration from the audience, new cars, free education, a limo ride to a rehab center and, of course, a new hair-do and make-over!. 
The rest of us have to deal with paying the bills, sending our kids to college, working to make our marriages work, working 2 or 3 jobs, doing without vacations, dealing with disabilities, watching what we eat, and having a home or furnishings that remind us that things could be better. And we get to pay extra in taxes and health insurance and make donations to organizations to help these other folks out. 
Though I think Dr.Phil is a good man and has helped a lot of folks out, I think he also perpetuates the idea that we are all victims and need "stuff" to make us better.  His "courageous" guests must have a pretty good idea that they will be rewarded for "taking control of their lives and finding their true selves" on TV!

Wow I did not realize i was "so late in life"... at 41 i have my act together and can provide as well. 

My partner is however 5 years younger than I am  

She is restarting her life and getting her career set, but I want kids.. so I lied about the vasectomy, I am sure it will be okay, she is "very catholic" so once she is pregnant she will be fine with it.

Thank you for your observation. You are the only one who responded to the reverse psychology "500" posts ago. 

While I am flattered by your following my writing here, the point missed in all this was no one, not a soul, said that strategy was wrong. If I doing this to someone.. you would think.. if not this time, than at least last time i raised the issue someone would say .. that it was wrong. I am not really sure why, If I am derailing a womans nursing career her hopes her dreams her ambiton by lying to her.. apparently " alls fair" and speaking out against that is not worthy of risking the sisterhoods position that it takes two. I guess there would be a fair number of women forced to look at their past and say nothing. In fact that it is reprehensible in both directions seems lost on everyone. The woman who did this to me stayed quitely to her self for a year while I developed a realationship with someone else. Once I had that relationship and was pregnant.. she THEN decided to sue me for support because she didnt get her way. As a result of that we were suddenly unable to support ourselves and certainly unable to support a family, we terminated that preganancy and the relationship was hopelessly lost.  

So someone does this to you.. and you lose your own child, your own relationship, your house, your pets and your sanity... 

how bitter would YOU be.?? 

Women shrug off the wreckage they do in other peoples lives.. and say to men.. "get over it".. and the women here.. seem to support that. Not the kind of world i thought it was.. 

Quote From: nbrooks

Interesting! I'm a little confused. You're saying that my way is not he only right way. Does this mean that my way may be right along with others or are many others the right way and mine is wrong? Because my way states that there is only one way so either I'm right or wrong, I can't be right along with others. 

Maybe the Greeks did use the word Theology differnet -interesting. As for todays English language - I studied Theology - hope that clears it up. 

Rigt you are, there were other religions before Christ came on the scene, but the basis of Christianity comes from the very moment that God created man almost 6,000 years ago. Originally man had a way to communicate with God. Years later, God gave the Hebrews laws about communication with him. Approximately 4,000 years after creation God introduced direct communication with him after his crucifiction and ressurection. 

As far as what I can see from the Bible, God had a plan all along. Yes the name Christ wasn't used until 2,000 years ago but the classification of the word Christianity is the not the most important thing here. The important thing is that you see that 'Christianity' was God's plan all along as it states in John 1:1,14 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us...." John 1:1 shows that Christianity was planned from the 'beginning' and since God always was, Christianity has always been........
