Woman 'hiding lottery win from husband'Previous TopicNext Topic

and what did the research show?

No, it's not funny but it's true, people do base their opinions on relationship matters on experience for the most part.  That's the point I was trying to make.  Whether I laugh at it, or if it has happened without me being aware of it is a mute point.

What would BILL W. do or Dr Phil say

They would say whatever it took to get you to buy their product.  Ethics and integrity would not be an issue.  They are superior people, they have to be respected.

Emilyg, I would think to most people the statement "Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater" would be self explanatory as to what the research found. But I guess there are clueless people out there that don't have simple reasoning skills, nor do they have the ability to come to that conclusion! 

Research shows that once confidence has been destroyed in a relationship, it is  difficult to regain the confidence though not impossible.  It sometimes takes years to rebuild the trust depending upon how each person involved reacts to previous life experiences and experiences with the party in the relationship regarding trust issues.

What research?  Research shows?  Name the document.  Was this an Oprah wisdom; like her phony book reviews?  Maybe it was documented on the Dr. Phil show; that is an arena the world can believe in - kind of like his phony products.  Jerry Springer?  Now there is some thing every one can accept.

Isn't there something in the unquestionable Bible about forgiveness?  Or was the subject overlooked?

I wonder which source you based your position on.

Now were talking about Unconditional Love!

We must allow each person the right of free will to walk their own path either creating steps or to sit a while if they so choose, and make no judgment of their steps and deeds they undertake. 

In humility we must bow to the realization that the way we see is best for ourselves does not have to mean that it is also right for someone else. We must realize that we cannot know what is best for another person even though sometimes we think we do!

We have not been where they have been viewing life from the angle they have. We have not walked life looking through their eyes and so we do not know what they have chosen to learn or how they have chose to learn it. What we call life Is A Big Lesson!

When we sit and see a person do something and then judge it to be unworthy we are fooling ourselves for we do not know the reason and that person may bring great healing and stand blessed by the light of God.

Chewie, Yes you are right forgiveness is in the bible. We can't pull a speck out of our brother's eye when we have one in our own. Let those who have not sinned cast the first stone, hmmmmmm, I shall drop my stone now! But even grater than Forgiveness is our judgment upon another when really we do not know why she made the decision she has because we walk not in her shoes or have viewed life through her eyes. To each their own.

you avoided my question.  what many research people??  what research?

Clairvoyance I admire the way you don't give up and bring forth the truth.  I give up sometimes and don't waste my time on certain people.  But you'll never know maybe something you've said might help.

Forgiveness comes in second place to self-belief.  Gobility-goop.  That mentality desecrates the whole concept of a jury trail; which is the basis of JUSTICE in America.  You would have to have been a mother and a killer to understand why she killed her children.  That is as silly a concept as acting like a prophet speaking in the third person.  The story, in the Good Book, about the Noah Flood is a prime example of foregiveness.  Bless the Lord, or he'll have a temper tamturm and initiate genicide on you and all you neighbors. 

i think that she made the right decision not to tell her husband... and think about it ...if she didn't  have the money she would have alot to worry about..but  she got all that money and three years later she dont have nothing to worry about.. i think she did good... more power to her... and i want to wish her alot of luck...

Hi Tenaj,

Thank you, I admire your wisdom as well! It makes Sense!

What light?  What blessing?  How much did you pay for that blessing last year?  52 sundays, plus a few holy days thrown in.  Donations each time?  How much?  How much for the candles?  Every see a preacher in the welfare line?  Ever see one in the unemployment line?  Ever see one "ascend" into heaven?  Used to do it all the time.  Then came science and technology.  All of a sudden, the magic is gone.  When was the last great healer?  Where is the great seual to the Bible?  Something must have happened in the past several thousand years to write about.  Guess all the worthy people had to be around in the beginning; no late comers to the great party.  All the late comers I;ve heard about turned out to be a scam.

I just read this whole 13 page thread . Whew ! 

It looks like a lot of LP members are the bugs right now and a lot of other members are the windshield !!

SPLAT !!

 Seriously, the back and forth bickering is getting amped up on both sides of the issue and everyone  believes they are right, and that's cool.   

One thing is for sure: The woman did this 3 years ago and we can argue until the proverbial cows come home if it was good or bad, but in this particular family's case, it just might have worked out.
