There is a deeply troubling case out of New Hampshire where attorney Lisa Biron has been convicted on all eight counts of transportation of a minor with intent to commit criminal sexual activity, sexual exploitation of children and possession of child pornography. The jury took less than two hours to convict in a case with strong evidence and highly disturbing facts. Biron has been identified as an attorney with an anti-Gay Christian group.
Videos taken by a cellphone show Biron and the 14-year-old victim engaged in sexual activity in Biron’s home. Later videos show 14-year-old victim engaged in sexual activity at a Canadian hotel. Biron took the teen to Niagara Falls over the 2012 Memorial Day weekend to meet 19-year-old Canadian, Kevin Watson, who met the teen online. They allegedly smoked marijuana, drank alcohol and had sex. Witnesses said that Biron also arranged multiple party sex with herself and the young girl at her home and that she actively filmed and directed some of the sex.
Brandon Ore, 18, testified Biron took video of the young girl having sex and wanted him to have sex with the young girl on the couch of her living room. He later moved in with Biron.
Notably, he went to the police but when he told Biron, he testified that she drove him back to the police station to recant his statement and accept a misdemeanor charge for a false report.
It is a perfectly horrible record of debauchery and abuse. It is hard to imagine why Biron thought it could remain hidden if these allegations are true — and a jury clearly found the allegations to be obviously true.
The least that she could hope for in a sentence would be 25 years.

@Gene: That is true, and in my excitement over my potential shortcut, I had not thought that far ahead. Your suggestion has prompted a cup of hot tea and quiet contemplation.
Should I acquire the ability to walk on water, and other fishermen do not, then I think I should only use it in cases of hunger. Otherwise, my fellow fishermen would dismiss my catches as the product of non-fishing skill.
They would say, for example, “Sure, if I could walk about on the lake I wouldn’t need any casting skill either. If I could keep the lure from being swept down the river, I wouldn’t need to waste time reeling it in.” They will say, “If all you care about is getting the fish, why don’t you just use a net across the river, Tony? Or go to the fish market? Hey, look what Tony caught, on aisle three!”
Tony,
Don’t forget it would make you fantastic fisherman.
@Gene: Do you have any idea what it would mean if I could walk on water? I will tell you: If I want to walk the dog to the nature trail, which is a nice walk, I have to cross the creek, and the nearest bridge that crosses the creek is about 400 yards in the wrong direction from the nature trail! So that costs me 800 yards, which is good exercise I suppose but I don’t like walking alongside road traffic, and I’d much rather spend that half mile on the trail, and so would the dog I feel sure, because he is very much big truck-averse. If I could just carry the dog across the creek, man, life would be sweet. Or maybe if he’s with me, he can walk on water too, who knows? Because I am pretty sure the Council of Nicaea edited out all the passages about Jesus’ dogs and cats. They were so judgmental. Plus I think Bishops tend more toward being donkey aficionados, which look kind of like a bigger dog, I suppose, but I have no hard evidence of that bias.
@Jonathan: Jesus is our example. Jesus had to defeat Satan in a body exactly like we have.
Exactly? So that means you can walk on water, heal the sick with a touch, and raise the dead, Jonathan?
How convenient that must be.
@Jonathan:
“People that have wisdom do not war.”
I have to pick you up on this because, if you read the old testament, then you are saying that your god does not have wisdom as he was the god of war (and ethnic cleansing, but that’s for another time)
As Tony is saying, you are talking bullshit (and doing so in a nearly illiterate form) so please, edit before you post again and maybe try to plug whatever brain you have in first also.
Cheers
There is no conflict in me, I am just analyzing your fiction. I don’t give a crap about your magic fictional friend, or his fictional threats against my fictional “soul.” You waste your life in that mental masturbation, Jonathan, if it makes you happy. Just stay in your lane, okay?
@Jonathan: More contradictory bs, buddy. Either God can do anything, or he cannot. End of story. If there is something God cannot control, then God is not all powerful, and that isn’t what the Bible says. If God could be “imprisoned” against his will, then God is not all powerful, and that is not what the Bible says. All contradictory bs, it has to be contradictory in order to tell the story, because a narrative needs something to be outside the control of a character in order to create a conflict.
Otherwise, God is just schizophrenically fighting himself, like the guy in Fight Club.
I don’t give your accusing accusations. The conflict is in you. Satan began conflict. It is up to you to accept God into you to end your conflict. Jesus in a person does not do that. You are damning your soul to see Gods light as hell. Religions don’t teach that. You are hurting yourself by not resitting the negitive spirit in you. God has to be in whoever first. Christ in us. Is that familuar to you? God promises to make all things new. You have to let him make your soul new. Then your mouth according to scripture will not be abominable not being defiled not being perverted not being naughty either. The religions misinform people about what is in their own book. Here are the verses to prove it.
10; things that are abominable, not one of them is connected to any sexual activity.
15; verses about the word perverse. Not a one of them connected to any kind of sex.
4; verses about defile. Not a one connected to evil accusations.
4 verses saying naughty is not what religions have taught. Naughty is not having people see sexual organs.
James:1 20 – 21, for the wrath of man worketh not the rightiouness of God. Whearfor lay apart all filthyness ,and superfluidy of naugtyness.
Proverbs 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
Proverbs 17: 4,A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.Jeremiah 24,2,One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are firt ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Samual 17,28 :And Eliab his eldist brother heard when he spake unto the men: and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said why camist thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride: and the naughtness of thine heart heart: for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
All of the words used against naked people, and the sexualities are not what religions claim.
Perversion in not any kind of sex.
Proverbs 17 :23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
Proverbs 15 4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

King James Version
Deuteronomy 16 >>19Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. Words are perverted not sex of any kind..

King James Version
Jeremiah 23 >>36And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
Galatians 1 >>7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Pro 4 24,Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

Pro 12; 22Lyingļ»æ lips are abomination
Proverbs 20 :10Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD .
looky here 7 more things that are abominable to the lord. Not a one of them is any kind of sex.
KJV, Pro; 6;16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren,
Hebrews 12:15; Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.
A bitter person will have bitter words.

King James Version
Mark 7 >> 15There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
You are seeing the power of Jesus as the power of a gun. He did not save himself. Satan could not put him in his prison. People make prisons. Had Jesus save himself would have right then and there shined his glory obeying the taunting crowd coming off of the cross. He would have lost to the devil if he did that.
Devils knew who Jesus was.
Luke 8 >>
King James Version: 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
Jesus saving himself;
It was not what effect it would have on the people. The devil was speaking through the people that were taunting him. Jesus ignored the taunting of the devil not saving himself not coming off of the cross in blaze of glory.
Stop your demonic accusing. God did not accept a bribe. Had Jesus done that there would have been no Resurrection.
The universe is Satanās. There is nothing immortal in the universe because Satan as this time owns it because of what Adam, and Eve did. Death came to all things.
You have no idea how powerful God is. His power makes life. Life with death in it however canāt exist in his glory.
God being prescient sees the results of our action. The babies being dashed on the rocks for an example is God seeing what will happen. God ends up being blamed for doing that. The Devil is behind the accusation.
God needs to be in you to be like Jesus is. That saves the soul. People see what they see with their eyes. God sees beyond what we see with our eyes. God is the opposite to our physical corruptible bodies. We make things with our hands that does not have life in it. God makes life. Without death in it life would be immortal.
The struggle is Satan trying to prove to God that people that are fallen canāt keep Gods law. .Jesus in a body like ours kept that law. Jesus resisted the devil. The devil is in war, oppression, arresting, accusations condemning people. All of the bad things. Christ in us helps us to resist the urge to do those activities overcoming the devil ending the conflict in each individual Christ in us the hope of glory.
Had Jesus sinned God would have been imprisoned. Satan canāt get close to God so he through people imprisons people on earth and holds them in his unseen prison till judgment day. The people that are in his prison refuse to be like Jesus is accepting Satan as their master.
People that think they see hell in a NDE are seeing that unseen jail. They are heading for obliteration in God judging light.
Satan is not all knowing , but he Knew that Jesus was God. The mad man that was naked cutting himself with stones approached Jesus with devils speaking th4rough him saying have you come to torment us before the time?We knoiw who you are You are the Christ thew son of the living God. Satan is a chameleon trying to act like God through people. That is why we have so many churches confusing people. Is it this one or that one people constantly. with question marks over their heads?
@Jonathan: Jesus is not selfish.
In this fiction, Jesus did not need to be selfish, because he was secretly God, and all-powerful, and all-knowing. He did not save himself because, as God, he knew what effect that would have on the minds and hearts of the crowd.
Obviously the Satan character was NOT all-knowing, and did not know that Jesus was God. Why would God accept a bribe consisting of something he already owned? It is like you offering me the house I already own outright in return for my servitude. What would I get out of that? Nothing but servitude; it doesn’t make any sense for somebody that owns and controls the entire universe, including Satan, to bow down to Satan.
Your fiction is incoherent; it doesn’t follow its own rules. As a script doctor I would say the problem is that you have made the God character too powerful; because all-knowing, all-powerful and perfectly prescient leave no stories for God (or his avatar Jesus), those traits eliminate all elements of what we see as story. So every story you try to tell about Jesus contradicts the central nature of the character, he cannot undertake a project to learn something, he already knows everything. He cannot be harmed, he is all powerful. He cannot be bribed, he owns and controls the universe and everything in it. Nothing comes as a surprise to him, he can overcome all opposition and is never defeated. Story is about struggle, and struggle demands limitations and overcoming obstacles, and the authors of this fiction, like third graders, invented a God character that has no limitations and not only anticipates all obstacles but can dismiss any obstacle with a thought. That means, for every story they tell, they have to pretend the God character IS limited in some way. For example that God can be imprisoned against his will, that God can be whipped into submission and carrying a cross, or that God can be forced to wear a crown of thorns, or cannot stop a mere mortal from nailing him to that cross. The entire story is necessarily full of contradictions to the central premise, that the God character (and Jesus) is all powerful, all knowing, and perfectly prescient.
Had people followed what is in the KJV the legal sytem, and military would have never been. People that have wisdom do not war. Ecclesiastes 9:18:Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. This book is calling the human species foolish. People have been unwise to say the least to not even take the advice in the KJV. That Makes yoiu foolish to mock the KJV.
@Jonathan: Jesus could not in spirit live in us had he not have a body like us.
Really? I thought the God character in this fiction was all-powerful and all-knowing, Jonathan. Are you saying there was something it was impossible for the God character to know about his own creation, man? Even for thousands of years after He created man?
Tell me, what else was God unable to know about his own creations?
I suspect He did not even know the order of those creations, since by the first sentence of this fiction, the Heavens, Earth and Water all existed before there was Light. Which is one clue to tell you are reading a work of fiction in the first place, when the first sentence opens with a blatant falsehood.
Jesus is our example. Jesus had to defeat Satan in a body exactly like we have. It could have been done no other way. God in his heavily form even without shining his glory did not have blood in it.
To all defending the bible, may I point you in the direction of this article:

(Please disregard my previous post–it was a mistake.)
Jesus could not in spirit live in us had he not had a body like us. Your lack of faith makes demons happy. The non-human animals have more faith than you have; they are waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, (Romans 8, 19). He could heal others because he is God. Jesus is not selfish. Had he been he would have saved himself coming down from the cross obeying the taunting of the crowd, or he would have accepted Satan’s offer of the world by bowing to Satan; but he did not do that. You are attributing the deceptive character traits of Satan to Jesus? How dare you. Repent this instant!
Jesus shed all of his blood. His new body did not have any blood in it. You are superimposing the power of men over the power of God. They are not the same. They are as opposed to each other even as life and death are opposed to each other. The shame is on you doing what the religious people did accusing Jesus of casting out devils in the name of Beelzebub. You stand in the shoes of the Sadducees, and Pharisees. The blood Jesus shed was shed like any human in the same set of circumstances.
Jonathan,
I think that a spirit of “spell check” and maybe “proof read” needs to come INTO you.
Why is it, the most vehement of religious replies on this blog all have dreadful grammar and incomprehensible formatting. Could it be that, to have a mind which accepts the unacceptable, you have to have a lower level of intelligence?
My point relates to you also, Jonathan. Quoting a work of fiction to prove your point makes your point based on (you guessed it) fiction.
There are two spirits. I am not a person thinking he is crafty getting someone arrested ,and then pierced. Dumkopf Religious people wanted Jesus dead. Jesus did not want Jesus dead thinking he was crafty. What I am quoting is no more fiction than the air you are breathing. The devil against Jesus Puts people down because he is down. You must know trha6t a person can’t give what they don’t have.
Tony C. The penalty of sin is death. The people around him did not die to self. As a result they pierced their best friend. War pierces people. Religious people arrested Jesus. That means the legal system, and military is religious. Jesus had to succeed were our fist parents failed. Jesus had to be in a body exactly like you and me feeling all of the pain that we feel. A lying spirit is in you needing to come out of you Tony.
@Artie: Jesus non the less died in a body like any human body.
How could you possibly know that? The fictional Jesus character was a magician, if he could heal others, he could heal himself. If he could multiply loaves and fishes and turn water into wine, he could deceive a few illiterate Roman guards and Roman peasants into thinking he had died. The magical Jesus could undoubtedly control how much pain he chose to feel and how much blood he chose to shed and how . He was God, after all, and all powerful.
People today are still declared dead only to be revived hours later. Is your faith so weak that you do not believe the Jesus character had the power to feign the death of his mortal body? To stop his pulse when checked, to internally heal his wounds so the blood would not flow and would dry up, to stop his breathing when checked and to show a pallid pallor? Shame be upon you, Artie, the Jesus character could do all that without any effort. So you do not know that he died on that cross, all you know is that his disciples could not tell the difference.
Jesus could not in spirit live in us had he not have a body like us. Your lack of faith makes demons happy. The non human animals have m,ore faith than you have waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8, 19. He s could heal others because he is God. Jesus is not selfish. Had he bee he would have saved himself coming down from the cross obeying the taunting of the crowd or he would have accepted the offer of Satan taking the world bowing to Satan, but he did not do that. You are attributing the deceptive character trait of Satan to Jesus? How dare you. Repent this instant! Jesus shed all of his blood. His new body did not have any blood in it. You are superimposing the power of men over the power of God. They are not the same. They are as apposed to each other even as life, and death are apposed to each other. The shame is on you doing what the religious peoiple did accusing jesus of casting out devils in the b name of Beelzebub. You stand in the shoes of the Sadducees, and Pharaees that Jesus chastised warning them.
@artiewhitefox were you drinking last night? I am sorry, but I did not understand anything in your reply to me?
This is what I am saying:
– using quotes from a work of fiction where it claims to not be fiction does not make that work any less fiction
– getting angry at people who say that said work is fiction does not make the work any less fiction
– being REALLY REALLY convinced that a work is not fiction does not make the work any less fiction
– paying money to a preacher who tells you the work is not fiction does not make the work any less fiction
Cheers š
@Artie: Jesus did not “die” like a human “dies,” if a human dies they do not get to come back, have a few days of conversation with their friends, and then in the view of the living physically ascend into heaven. I think if that happened with every person we lost, we’d all be believers.
No human on earth has ever died for three days then come back to life and then physically ascended into the sky on their own power. As I said, the fictional Jesus character does not “die” like a human dies.
Jesus non the less died in a body like any human body. He had to have that body confronting the devil. Had he not done that you can bet the devil would have complained about it, and rightly so, but he has no excuse. He was defeated by Jesus. The spirit of God was in him perfectly in the body Abraham, and Moses saw. That was God dude. n There was a direct conflict between Jesus, and the devil. The spirit of God left the body of Jesus, and then came back into the body of Jesus because Satan lost not able to put him in his jail . Jesus transformed back into the flesh, and bone form that God had in the beginning. God can turn off his glory when he wants to. That spirit is in those that are like him. When they die they go to be with hm in spirit. The people that are not like him go into the devils jail to wait for finale judgment. That being visiting with a few friends and then ascending is God who saves us. God in the form Moses saw when he said show me your glory. The person that has Christ in them being like Christ is when they die in body will to them seem like they never died. No human has died for three days coming back because no human is God. There is one God There is no God beside him. Jesus is perfect. He could have lived forever if he wanted to. He was put on the cross because people rejected him. The military, and condensing legal system is not a sign of accepting Jesus either.
Oh look, someone can quote fiction at you well.
Quoting fiction well does not make the fiction any less fiction, mr whitefox
There is good behavior, and talk, and there is bad behaviour,b and talk,. Can you say you give me good behavior, and talk? The KJV calls bad a talker abominable, defiled ,and perverted. It accurately depicts you. That book has not been followed. Hence you are militaristic in your speech calling it good. The KJV says that is not wise. Ecclesiastes 9:18
King James Version (KJV)
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Stop warring staging each other, and the KJV. Would you think that is a wise thing to do?
Notice; Jesus gave up the ghost. He did that on purpose. Know what you are saying before you open your yap.
