There's Nothing To Hide When Your Soul Is Not Guilty....

The influence of sin touches the innocent as well as the guilty.

Everything falls apart when you do one stupid thing

When you only know your faults and failures, you allow yourself and others to downgrade your dreams and belittle your wants.

Aging is not our fault, but we certainly are guilty of feeling it.

Because of Jesus_ supposed predestination, God would have had to choose the people who would kill and betray his son, choose the method by which he would be killed (crucifixion), and the time at which the event would occur. Those guilty of killing Jesus would therefore be simply carrying out God__ wishes without the free will to have chosen a path for themselves.

The truth may roar, but it's roaring does not terrify the blameless. Guilty conscience needs neither a critic nor an accuser. Remember, the truth has no aiding crutches; once it is limping, its name is "a lie'.

Poor Ramon.

Dare my guilty heart admit the horrible acknowledgement that I love you still?

You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. We were created to be victorious.

Poetry is one of my guilty pleasures and I want to thank you poets for providing me with beautiful words that I can devour and selfishly indulge in any time I want. _-Nina Jean Slack

Should is my all time least favorite word. It__ this sort of guilt inducing, finger wagging word that we use to beat up others and ourselves.

If it judges your conscience, then you are in some way guilty of it by action, words or omission.

We are all innocent, until we die.

It__ really a rather simple thing to bring balance to my anger. All I need to do is remember that the __and of cards_ that have been dealt to me pale in comparison to the __eck of cards_ that I__e thrown at others.

AIDS would have claimed fewer lives if we had publicly recommended what I wish to call __he Presumption of Sickness,_ i.e., the principle that whomever we are about to sleep with is HIV-positive until proven HIV-negative.

It has become fashionable in the last several years for the media to minimize and even dissemble about the data which so strongly support the existence of ritual abuse. Amazingly, this has happened even in relation to ritual abuse cases in which criminal convictions have been obtained. Parenting magazine (Ruben, 1994), for example, asserted that __ar more cases (of ritual abuse) end in acquittal_ than in conviction.In fact, 58% of the ritual abuse cases in the Finkeihor (1988) study that went to trial resulted in convictions. In the Kelly (1992b) study, convictions were obtained in 80% of the ritual and sexual abuse cases combined; since there were no significant differences between the rates of criminal conviction in these two groups, we can surmise that convictions were obtained in approximately 80% of the ritual abuse cases Kelly studied. Finally, and most significant given the thousands of cases studied, convictions were obtained in 11% of all ritual child abuse cases studied by Bottoms et al. (1991; 1993)."from Denying Ritual Abuse of ChildrenThe Journal of Psychohistory 22 (3) 1995

Not only do skeptics such as Lanning choose to ignore eyewitness/victim accounts of ritual criminal activity, they apparently also choose to overlook the significant number of cases of ritual abuse in which perpetrators have confessed to their crimes. In the Bottoms et al. (1991; 1993) study of 2,292 cases of ritual abuse, perpetrators in 30% of the child cases confessed to abusing one or more children, and perpetrators in 15% of adult cases confessed to perpetrating as well. In the case studied by Snow and Sorenson (1990), two adolescent perpetrators admitted to charges of abuse. Both of these sets of data require further analysis to determine which acts of ritual abuse were confessed to by what number of perpetrators.Corroboration and eyewitness accounts offered by children should also be given serious attention when therapists and investigators can demonstrate that no contamination of the children__ disclosures has taken place. In the case studied by Jonker and Jonker-Bakker (1991), children from different schools and different locales gave accounts of perpetrators, abuse locations, and abusive acts that were mutually corroborating. Accounts of tunnels under the McMartin preschool given by children claiming to have been ritually abused at the school were fully corroborated when the existence and location of the tunnels were documented by a professional team of archaeologists (Summit, 1994)."from Denying Ritual Abuse of ChildrenThe Journal of Psychohistory 22 (3) 1995
