Sammie, to answer your questions and assertions. #1 There have been at least 8 times on record that the US has tried to capture him in other countries.
#2, He's already been convicted, it's not up to the victim. If that was the way our Justice system worked, hardly anyone would stay arrested for domestic violence. And #3, he may not have any more convictions, but it's on record that a year or so later he was Having sex with 15 year old Nastassia Kinski. So we know that that was his preference.

Geez, Hamilcar and Satanus, anti-semitic much? I mentioned Eichmann et. al, because many said that people like Wiesenthal should stop following them, as if there were some sort of statute, c'mon, they were old, lived in Argentina as businessmen, can't we just let bygones be bygones?
I'll use a different example. Say, in 20 years we finally catch Bin Laden. And people say"He's had a hard life, has to be on dialysis, live in a cave, had his assets frozen, just let it go..."

One thing many people don't realize is that Judges can't "renege" on a plea deal. They are set up between the defense and the DA, not the judge. Most of the time, the judge accepts them, but he is not legally bound. He can reject the deal and give the max if he wants, and it happens often, and in this case, the defendant then has the option of withdrawing his plea and going to trial or facing the music. It happens every day.

The man drugged, raped and sodomized a child. And was convicted. No wiggle room.
So, people want to give him sympathy because he was a holocaust surviovor? IMO this pisses on their memories. By the same token, they should have pardoned Eichmann, Mengele, etc. It's this same kind of moral equivocation that allows the JW's to continually cover up molestation.
does anybody know how many annointed are left alive??
our friend who was one of the annointed has died, i cried so much but then i was excited knowing shes in heaven meeting apostle paul, peter and brother knorr etc....wow how great is that :).
unsure how many are left though :((.
AE, the GB condoned child abuse long after Knorr. read this.

some of you may already be aware of the new ex-jw magazine that's been in the works for some time.
well, the day has finally come and i'm happy to let you know that jwrecovery magazine is now available online and for free download at www.jwrecovery.org.
it features articles, interviews and columns by many ex-jws throughout the community including:.
better yet, go to the doors with or directly after the jw's in service and give out copies. You have just as much right to be there as them.
ben and sharon vogelenzang are charged with breaching section 5 of the public order act causing harassment, alarm or distress.
if convicted, they face fines of 2,500 each and a criminal record.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/6209687/christian-hoteliers-charged-with-insulting-muslim-guest.html.
does this mean that our uk apostabuddies are now able to lay charges against jws who insult them in some religious way?
If this kind of thing is continued, we would'nt be able to tell JW's what we think @ the door, now would we? Freedom of speech is imperative, even for idiots.
personally, i would have no problem with this law.
if they want to 'rejoin' society, this should be a condition of their release.
i do not understand why human rights groups would be more concerned about these dangerous criminals...more...than children.. what do you think?.
It only lowers re-offense to a degree. Rape is about power and control far more than "libido". So permanent incarceration is the only way to keep people safe.
when i was a jehovah's witness i remember these debates being mentioned about the raps of innocent children that elders commented, the blacks and whites segregation, the crosses and christmas tree in the bethal, etc.
jehovah's witnesses have always been harassed for these things.
with the changing world and knowledge of the scriptures they work hard to try to work towards accurateness.
They don't HAVE to suffer. If I get you right, THEY are the ones shunning their daughter, i.e inflicting suffering. They may be deluded, but after awhile the "just following orders" bit just doesn't fly. Also, the blood doctrine kills more than jonestown every YEAR! I understand what you are saying, the rank and file are good people, but here is a quote from the film Boondock Saints that explains how i feel on that..
And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

The UK has gone entirely too far in the PC and appeasment direction. Reminds me of the good o' days of Neville Chamberlain
