re koresh doctrine of in article watson mariner sce carleton ca watson sce carleton ca stephen watson writes question for those of you who seem to be fundamentalists stephen tice the cotera joe gaut et al apologies if i ve mislabelled any of you i ve only started reading t r m since the bd disaster but i know the cotera is a fundy and are defending koresh and his beliefs as an example of true christianity under persecution from the the big bad secular state what is your opinion of his reported sexual habits if the reports are accurate what iyo does this say about the quality of his christianity or are the allegations just part of the big cover up thank you steve it is refreshing to have someone accuse me of being a christian i only hope enough evidence can be garnered to get a conviction i am not certain what you mean by the fundy part as the term fundamentalist has a wide variety of uses if you refer to those who actually believe jesus is the messiah and son of god and wish to follow in his way then i plead guilty but what does it matter what i think the roman circus is over the lions have been satisfied for now the emperor after the long and gruelling struggle sensed the crowd was tiring and gave thumbs down with respect to my previous comments about david koresh i urge you to re examine my previous posts i believe you mistakenly assume that defense of koresh right to his own personal beliefs and his right to express them to others implies agreement with koresh theology actually i understand little about the details of branch davidian teachings and regret so many are hung up on that aspect of the tragic events of the past few days nor do i think koresh sex life should be of any interest to the federal government of course hillary says he had been molesting infants so it must be true even though such allegations do not fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government they are state and local matters and have been thoroughly reviewed at the local level by proper authorities with no successful charge having ever been levied against him under american law he was innocent as americans are presumed innocent until proven guilty at least that s how it is suppposed to be but he was demonized and propa gandized against by a powerful machine to have him appear as a lustful beast and therefore deserving of every ill the fates might bring upon him but evidence trickles in that the twenty one children who left the building in the early days of the siege were carefully examined by qualified authorities for evidence of physical or sexual abuse and none was found deguerin one of the attorneys who met with davidians several times before the conflagration reported that the children seemed well adjusted and showed no sign of abuse ultimately steve what i think about the heart of david koresh is quite unimportant today he is in the benevolent hands of a most wise and merciful judge who will one day surely judge us all so i withhold any judgment of david koresh and defer to the one who has all knowledge meanwhile let s clean up the mess left on earth and keep this from happening again by sending a strong message to the government to respect the inalienable rights of the people it serves joe gaut i remain deliberately neutral on the cause of the fire i wouldn t put it past koresh to have torched the place himself on the other hand if the propane tank accident story is correct i wouldn t put it past the fbi to try to cover its ass by claiming koresh did it i hope your government does a very thorough investigation of the whole debacle and i ll be disappointed if a few heads don t roll the authorities seem to have botched the original raid and in the matter of the fire are guilty of either serious misjudgement or reckless endangerment steve watson a k a watson sce carleton ca carleton university ontario this opinion my opinion assert this opinion carletonu opinion somebody touched me making everything new burned through my life like a bolt from the blue somebody touched me i know it was you bruce cockburn
