    She was abused sexually, physically, likely verbally, starved and kept from seeing the light of day, but she still was able to smile when she was rescued?

      Someone finally taking you out, and you get to be outside. You can eat too. Its the greatest feeling. Its not sad. It's the best day of your life. Your friends become real and they can pick you up and clean you and feed you and the light under the door with all the hours of shadows going by isn't all you watch anymore. I know it's odd to see that smile, but I swear to you it's very real how happy she was being set free.

      Unfortunately though, the abuse was too much for her mentally. She has been convicted of sexual assault recently.

      Hi Cherry you can never understand them, those Cruel Sadistic EVIL MONSTERS like Barbie, because you're a decent, moral, gentle, loving, compassionate human being. I have researched these Vile EVIL MONSTERS(Sociopaths, Psychopaths) for over 15 yrs. Through numerous interviews these EVIL MONSTERS described their feelings as "the Ultimate High", " feeling like Superman, God", "feeling Great Pleasure, Joy, Ecstasy, Euphoria" when they severely tortured, raped, murdered babies/children, and women. All of them feel no guilt, remorse, shame or empathy for the tremendous pain and sufferings they inflicted on the innocent victims-children and women. Now don't you agree that these are EVIL DEMONS in human bodies or EVIL MONSTERS?

      +Logical1 Analyze There are evil, sadistic people in this world and I believe they are possessed and under the control of Satan himself. I agree with you that they are demons in human bodies. It is happening today just like Bible times. Satan never changes! Fortunately we have a God of love who is willing to transform the human heart and bring kindness, compassion, mercy and self sacrificial love into a human life. This is the epic battle between good and evil and each one of us have to decide whom we will stand with.....Jesus or Satan.

      +cherry Path -- They are mentally ill. It's mental disease. I have an older brother and sister who are mentally ill with this same unrepentant attitude. Getting their diseased minds to even admit that, 2+2=4, if it works against them, they will not agree with your math no matter how true and clear it is to everyone else.
      I understand why people do this and why people cannot see their wrong. No matter how large the wrong to a death. That has happened in my family. And they still do not see their wrongs. They will not see, admit, or understand the truth. It is impossible for them.
      There are many symptomatic behaviors such as a lack of empathy and others that prevent their diseased minds from understanding their wrong.
      This is no excuse. This is just the reality of mental illness.

    • @poke089
      @poke089 7 років тому +26

      Three reasons come to mind:
      (1) When we understand that God is gathering sufficient evidence to convict us [or acquit us], lawfully and fairly, you'd understand why He allows suffering. Cops don't jail a murderer just because they have a feeling that one day the person _might_ commit a crime depending on how they _might_ choose that day and in that moment, but only after the individual unlawfully kills somebody (and thus, there was a victim and sufficient witnesses-ample physical evidence of the crime). Without the option for suffering being allowed, you wouldn't be able to fairly/lawfully separate the malignant one from the blameless rest [they would protest, “but I wasn't even given the chance to commit the crime; this isn't fair”]. The suffering that mankind is allowed to inflict upon themselves and each other provides the evidence to fairly prosecute, jail, and/or put criminal people to death, thus separate the law-breaker from the rest.
      Likewise, for someone to be proven a sinner (a breaker of God's Law/a criminal), by definition there will be victims, even innocent casualties (who suffer at the hands [or by the mouth] of the sinner). And we will be judged for this on the ultimate judgment day, when both the righteous and wicked are raised from the dead, at the end of time (and before that, God sends judgments on earth, feeling the consequences of our own behavior, or our own behavior being returned on our own heads i.e. you starved someone, now you get starved) aside from earthly judgment rendered by governments/man's courts:
      • _Acts __24:15__ (NIV)_
      15 _and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have,_ _that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked._
      • _John __5:28__-29 (NIV)_
      28 _“Do not be amazed at this,_ _for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice_ 29 _and come out-those who have done what is good will rise to live,_ _and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned._
      • _2 Corinthians __5:10__ (NIV)_
      10 _For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,_ _so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body,_ _whether good or bad._
      • _Matthew __12:36__-38 (NIV)_
      36 _But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken._ 37 _For by your words you will be acquitted,_ _and by your words you will be condemned.”_
      • _Obadiah __1:15__ (NIV)_
      15 _“The day of the Lord is near_
      _for all nations._
      _As you have done,_ _it will be done to you;_
      _your deeds will return upon your own head._
      • _Romans 13:4 (NIV)_
      4 _For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good._ _But if you do wrong,_ _be afraid,_ _for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason._ _They are God’s servants,_ _agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer._
      So, the suffering He allows has a purpose: fair acquisition of evidence. Lawful judgment.
      (2) Secondly, He's interested in molding creatures (us, His creations) to be loyal to Him, trusting in Him, even during times of suffering, when it's not easy to, just as much as when it is easy-in times of gladness, boredom, and even when it hurts. He wants us to learn that all kinds of circumstances (when endured with the right attitude and behavior) work towards the good of those who obey His Instructions, despite momentary pain in this life. He's molding creatures who do not resort to sin (e.g. who do not steal, kidnap, unlawfully kill, or be greedy, or any other sin), to alleviate themselves or anyone else of pain, but continue acting correctly / lawfully as He said to, trusting this will result in the greater good.
      • _John __14:15__ (NIV)_
      15 _“If you love me,_ _keep my commands._
      • _Romans __8:28__ (NIV)_
      28 _And we know that in_ *all* _things God works for the good of those who love him,_ _who[a]_ _have been called according to his purpose._
      Footnotes:
      Romans 8:28 Or _that all things work together for good to those who love God,_ _who;_ or _that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good-with those who_
      Our fulfillment and joy comes from: our relationship with Him, walking in ways that He finds pleasing, thus walking in His Commands (even in the midst of suffering),
      • _Job __6:10__ (NIV)_
      10 _Then I would still have this consolation-_
      _my joy in unrelenting pain-_
      _that I had not denied the words of the Holy One._
      ...and in trusting Him and caring for His creation the way He said-not in doing things our own way (which, if it contradicts His Way, will only cause harm in the long run, even if there is some immediate “benefit”/pleasure. His instructions, when heeded, would guard us from the natural negative consequences that are inflicted, both short term and spanning generations upon generations, that we do not have the foresight to see.
      • _Deuteronomy __4:40__ (NIV)_
      40 _Keep his decrees and commands,_ _which I am giving you today,_ _so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time._
      • _Joshua 1:8 (NIV)_
      8 _Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips;_ _meditate on it day and night,_ _so that you may be careful to do everything written in it._ _Then you will be prosperous and successful._
      At the end of the day, whether we're the perpetrator of sin or the blameless victim (or half victim / half accomplice), we choose how we will react to the situation (while in it and after it [if we survive]); and we're all being tested to see whether we trust in our Creator and His instructions, as who and what we value most, or whether we trust more in rebellious creation [a deviant suggestion in ourselves or outside of ourselves spoken by others] in place of our Creator. We're tested to see whether we will resort to breaking Commands for some perceived, momentary pleasure or comfort, that in reality is to our own detriment and that of others, thus why YHWH Commanded against it.
      And lastly,
      [3] God proves His warnings and instructions true (thus trustworthy): when one breaks YHWH's Commands for how to properly interact with His creation, someone suffers, in the immediate and/or in the long run, just like He said-e.g. Adam and Eve sinned by interacting with creation in an improper manner; consequently, they invited death into all of creation, just like He warned them. The consequences are real (whether the act is adultery, bearing false witness, stealing [taking without legitimate permission], greed, unlawful killing, eating things you were never meant to eat, etc); creation will get hurt, yourself included (physically and/or emotionally wounded), sooner or later, often both.
      We will learn to trust in the Creator's instructions in one of two ways: the easy way (which is through our obedience, simply trusting what He said, and then as we go through life, learning of the danger we avoided) or the hard way (which is through our disobedience, suffering the negative consequences first hand or seeing how we affected the other, and then realizing, “ah that's why He said not to do that, or to go do that instead”). YHWH proves Himself true.
      So, in a nutshell some of the reasons why He allows suffering:
      [1] He's allowing us to be tested to reveal what is in us with fairly gathered evidence, thus providing just grounds for lawful judgment, to condemn us or acquit us, by how we react to the situation that He allowed. (Do we trust Him and what He said? Or do we not? Do we care for His creations in the way He said or do we not?) whatever we live through, and whatever crosses our paths, will test that.
      [2] even when we don't deserve the suffering, it is used to mold us into creatures who trust Him, regardless of the circumstances, good or bad, looking to Him and His way as our source of joy and safety, even when enduring unmerited, hurtful reactions from others. He's molding us into souls who trust in His way of thinking, speaking, and acting as safest and most beneficial even if the immediate reaction from the rebellious creation is pain.
      [3] YHWH proving Himself true and His warnings reliable; things happen as He said they would.
      -
      Ultimately, those who are victorious through these trials and testings, who choose righteousness and guard a clean conscience in how they relate towards God and creation, according to YHWH's Commands, will live with Him forever, a place where there is no sin.
      • _2 Peter __3:13__-14 (NIV)_
      13 _But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,_ _where righteousness dwells._
      14 _So then,_ _dear friends,_ _since you are looking forward to this,_ _make every effort to be found spotless,_ _blameless and at peace with him._
      • _Romans __8:13__ (NIV)_
      13 _For if you live according to the flesh,_ _you will die;_ _but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,_ _you will live._
      • _Colossians 3:5-10 (NIV)_
      5 _Put to death,_ _therefore,_ _whatever belongs to your earthly nature:_ _sexual immorality,_ _impurity,_ _lust,_ _evil desires and greed,_ _which is idolatry._ 6 _Because of these,_ _the wrath of God is coming.[a]_ 7 _You used to walk in these ways,_ _in the life you once lived._ 8 _But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these:_ _anger,_ _rage,_ _malice,_ _slander,_ _and filthy language from your lips._ 9 _Do not lie to each other,_ _since you have taken off your old self with its practices_ 10 _and have put on the new self,_ _which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator._
      Footnotes:
      a. Colossians 3:6 Some early manuscripts _coming on those who are disobedient_
      He will live with those who were proven righteous and put on Christ's nature.
      That said,

It's not bad enough that they torture one child, they scare the other children who fear for her well-being so bad that they would risk something like that... And were legitimately fucking terrified for her sister's hunger. 😡😡😡

    unfortunately many people who were abused as children will abuse others later on if they don't get proper help. She did, but I assume she was so badly abused that they couldn't help her. It's really sad. I hope she changes as a person once she's out of the mental institution and can move on to live a somewhat normal life
