i thought I'd open the first topic on this board with some absolutely horrifying things that I saw today, being up through the night since I have been unable to sleep well the past few days.
A 23-year-old Texas mom glued her 2-year-old daughter's hands to a wall because the mother was frustrated with potty training. The mother did drugs and drank during pregnancy, The child was badly hurt after being kicked in the stomach, hit in the head with a milk jug, and the removal of the child's hands from the wall ripped of the skin from her hands.
I don't say this often in response to something, but when the judge sentenced her to 99 years, I said, "Amen, and thank God Almighty for good judges."

A Kentucky mom was sentenced for murdering her 2-year-old son because she left him in a super-heated car, locked into a car seat, for twelve hours while she went into her apartment to get high. The judge said, "You chose the drugs over the life of your child." The lawyer pointed out, based on the autopsy report, that he was left in that 130F (54.4C) car, tortured by the pain of having his skin seared by the buckle between his legs, while the plastic of the wet diaper he was wearing melded with his flesh. She was sentenced to 35 years.

The prosecuter was in tears after a year-long trial, and the mother walked out of the courtroom with no remorse or emotion whatsoever. I'll add in that I was in tears watching the video of what took place in the courtroom, and I didn't have any familiarity of the situation, but that wicked, heart-of-stone mother just sat and listened to all of it completely stoic.
The purpose of my article on False Doctrine: Unlimited Submission to Government was based on false, ecumenical preachers teaching that the government is to be obey no matter what under any circumstance, which is simply not true, since the Bible is filled with examples of prophets and evangelists disobey direct orders from magistrates and kings. However, in a recent letter I received, I want to make sure that no one thinks that I am in any way teaching that we should not care about being submissive to government in relation to the power of God putting them in authority for the punishment of evildoers because we still have some good law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges who do what is right so we can live in a country that is still relatively free, and I thank God for them.
