Why Sparing the rod spoils the child

[Benedict A. Davis]

I guess everyone has heard about the Christian family who's 19 year old daughter has just been arrested in the middle of her plan to elope and meet the man she met online. She was boarding an airplane to Turkey where she was to meet her Beau, a tunisian mooslim who is in Syria fighting for the IsIs terrorist group! This is the kind of thing that is bound to happen when parents allow their children to use computers without supervision, speaking with strange men without a chaperone present, again with that new fancy sky pee. So let's meet Shannon,

Shannon Conley, accused of helping ISIS in terrorism case, plans guilty plea


DENVER - A 19-year-old Arvada woman accused of trying to help a foreign terrorist organization plans to plead guilty in the case.
Federal documents filed Friday say an agreement has been reached in the case against Shannon Conley of Arvada. Details of the agreement weren't part of the court filing, but Conley's public defender Robert Pepin asked to schedule a change of plea hearing.
A federal criminal complaint states that between Sept. 7, 2013 and April 8, 2014, Shannon Maureen Conley, together with others, tried to provide material support and resources, including personnel and expert advice, to a foreign terrorist organization.
Conley, a Muslim convert, was arrested April 8 at Denver International Airport after telling FBI agents she was traveling to Syria to use her American military training from the U.S. Army Explorers to aid Islamic militants waging jihad -- or holy war -- even though she knew that it was illegal, according to federal court records..
She said "legitimate targets of attack" included U.S. military bases, government employees and public officials, the documents say.
Against her parents wishes, Conley planned to marry a Tunisian man, who was fighting in Syria for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), an al-Qaida splinter group. She'd met the man online and communicated with him on Skype.
Conley is charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
Authorities began investigating Conley on Nov. 5, 2013, after a call from the pastor at Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada who saw Conley taking notes at the church.
Church officials have a heightened awareness about security because Faith Bible Chapel was the scene of a shooting in December 2007 when a man named Matthew Murray opened fire at the church's Youth with a Mission Training Center, killing two missionaries.

One might think that Shannon was an aberration a one off problem but her Church has history of one youth gunning down two teen Missionaries in training. It seems there are problems running through the flock. I would guess they are some of those Fluffy Bunny feel good congregations. Look where that got them. Please remember my title Spare the rod, spoil the child, that is someone's interpretation of proverbs. Somebody (fluffy bunny Christians) changed the words from Gods own and they should take a long look at what was written in Proverbs 13:24.

Re: Why Sparing the rod spoils the child

A shocking story, but laughable at the same time. I mean, this little hussy met someone on the internets who claimed to be a Tunisian fighting for Iraq in Syria and (as if that were not complicated enough) said he would meet her in Turkey (is Turkey even a real place?) and she fell for it? I smell a schoolboy prank here and my very first thought was "Does she have brothers?"

But it seems not. Here she is, with her 3 older sisters and her mom.



This is the first indication that all is not well in the family. Look at the mom's hair (1 Corinthians 11:15) and their inappropriate clothing (Deuteronomy 22:5). And as the 4th of 4 girls, Shannon must have been such a disappointment to them.

With a family like that, apparently strangers to dentistry, she could never expect to find a True Christian™ husband. So she chose some sect which enabled her to cover her frightful hair (she might equally have become a proper joo) and it all went downhill from there.

This is the kind of thing that is bound to happen when parents allow their children to use computers without supervision, speaking with strange men without a chaperone present, again with that new fancy sky pee.

Exactly! My dear husband is in sole charge of the skyppe. I would never dream of using it unsupervised, and the children don't use it at all - though Matthew has told the boys that when they can crack the password (which is encrypted to Defense Department standards and changed daily) then they can use it, but to call fellow church members only.

Here's their What We Believe page. I condemn them as:

1. Cherry-pickers:

God inspired the Bible to be written in such a way that sincere Christians can find areas of disagreement over doctrines that are not essential to the Christian faith.

2. Speakers of weasel-words:

Why did God allow the Bible to be written in such a way as to leave room for disagreements? Perhaps so that we would have to learn to love people who didn't agree with us in everything! We strive to allow individual members of our Church, liberty to follow their consciences on the myriad of issues we hold non-essential to the Christian Faith.

3. Fluffy bunnies:

We've chosen the path of love.

Yours in Faith,
Joanna

Ladies I want to compliment both of you for giving everyone a woman's view on this story. Both could only be described as insightful and right to the point.
