AMEN!!!!!!

States will spend millions for passing the AWA which is "doing more harm than good."

Legislators need to consult the EXPERTS rather than pass knee jerk legislation that actually endangers children and the whole of society. I encourage everyone to write their law makers demanding they stop endangering children with knee jerk legislation and BRING IN THE EXPERTS.

"Maine is one of the few states that is going about this correctly. They are "LISTENING TO EXPERTS, rather than passing emotional knee jerk legislation which protects no one but endangers everyone. The vast majority of states have passed laws that "Do more harm than good."

Protecting children and society must be done "intelligently."

Here is a short "audio clip" referencing the issue in Maine.

Once truth is acknowledged, you cannot deny it and remain true to yourself.

Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
Not nullified there is plenty of use for some of the OT teachings in todays world. We just aren't stoned when we disobey.

CFC is an organization devoted to eliminating laws pertaining to registered sex offenders. I am tempted to be nasty and ask if you were ever convicted yourself, but I won't do that. This is NOT a website nor a group that publishes
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH by IMPARTIAL SCIENTIFIC BODIES.

Every post that you have made is pure propaganda, and half-truths and untruths.

TB readers are no dummies. We do our homework here.

Edit to add: www.ojp.usdoj.gov is the U.S. Dept. of Justice website. No spin, no cherry-picking "facts" -- just court record based statistics. Want facts on sex offender recidivism? Check here.

I have a little problem with people using Jesus and scripture to protect sex offenders. Yes, forgiveness is available through Christ, but repentance is required. And repentance means a change of direction and NOT CONTINUING the behavior. Jesus often said, "Go and sin no more."

But when weighing the rights of children with the rights of felons, Jesus was pretty clear:

"And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!" Matthew 18:5-7

"Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven." Matt. 18:10

There are plenty of places to house and rehabilitate sex offenders that are FAR AWAY from neighborhoods filled with little children.
