Bill Cosby - New development

[dogsleash]

I believe bill should pay for what he has done and his wife needs to step away from his side and realize he is not the kind hatred man we all believed that he was. With that said I will not stop watching the Cosby show. It was a part of my life when I was a kid.

You dont just ask God for forgivness and its granted.God sees the heart condition of us all.IOW you arent going to fool HIM!!

Yes if we are truly repentant forgivness is granted on the sacrifice Jesus made with HIS life.If its just lip service its NOT the same!!

they should put him in jail

At this age, I think he doesn't even care about going to jail, but is it really ashamed.

[sherryinutah]

My perception was that he use the drugs to persuade young women to have sex with him.  He drugged them without their permission; which is considered NON consentual. 

From my point of view....that makes him a predator.

It IS that simple.  I wouldn't think people would ask for forgiveness if they didn't mean it.

Yes he cares about going to jail.  If he had to go to a real jail and spend the rest of his life.  Not the resort that celebrities go to.  But like we previously said the stat of limitations is up so I don't think he can be punished for anything.  Just be outted for what he really is.

If he drugged them without their knowledge yes.  But if it was a trade off -  (I want drugs, you have them, I can't pay money for them, yeah I will have sex for the trade) then it is not rape.  We will never know the truth because neither side will tell the entire whole truth. Only God knows.  Well, they know - but I don't think "they" being either side will ever tell the entire whole truth.

No deception in this world???Are you kidding me?

The Boston bomber said he was sorry to the victims familys in court recently.I am not in a position to see his heart and know if he really was.But clearly what they did He deserves to be punished and be put to death.

If the good Lord sees in his heart he was truly sorry for that act of terrorism...it is only HE that can decide that!

Saying you are sorry to the victim of your crime and crying in hopes of the court being lenient  or even asking the victim to forgive you to show is not the same thing as praying to God and asking for forgiveness.  He can ask forgiveness from the victim and still not be forgiven by God because he didn't ask God.  That is assuming he even knows God.  I wouldn't think a person who is a Christian would not something like that to start with.

Having said that, I read something online a while back about where so many people are confronting bullies from their childhood.  Or where a bully contacts their victim and says "oh sorry for how I treated you" and all is suppose to be good.  The author of the article said if that happens then it is on the victim and it's their problem if they refuse to accept the apology.  I disagree.  I don't hold any grudges against the people who bullied me in school but no we can't be friends today.  Want nothing to do with any of them.  Although if the apology were sincere it would mean something.  I recently was at a restaurant and I guy I didn't think I knew called me by name.  He talked to me a few minutes and said I want to tell you something.  He apologized for some things he done 20 years or so ago.  I had forgotten about it.  But you could tell he really meant it.  It wasn't just so he could feel better.  There is a difference.

I would also think if he were really sorry for anything then he would not still be denying all wrong doing.  He also fought really hard to keep the tapes secret where he admitted he had exchanged drugs for sex.  And like I said before even if they wanted to give him sex favors in exchange for the drugs in my opinion he is still scum.

what i meant with deception is you cant trust some.Some might say please forgive me for my mistake and they really dont mean it.The world is full of many.

I know how i feel if i accuse someone of something and i am wrong.I also realize there are many today that cant admit when they are or just dont care even if they are knowingly wrong.

Again i have my opinion of Cosby.But do i really know what happened?NO i dont.The good Lord does and also the Lord knows if hes truly repentant if he is guilty.

It sells copy in this world.The human being is attracted to news thats *bleep*!!

[dizzybird]

This just gets worse every day. So many respected public figures are being exposed for having seriously shady pasts that it makes me wonder about all of them!

I get what you are saying.  What I was saying was if he asked GOD to forgive him then He will. Even if people do not.  And you are right bs sells.  And the media is probably 98% of the problems in this country.  But as long as people flock to it then it won't change.

Don't know anybody that gets to the top by being a good person.  I don't really respect any of them.  And you never really know anyone anyway.  You just don't.
