    Shocking Evidences convicting Mrs Thompson. Ravi account hack. Did the recently investigation made sure someone did not upload the shocking photo to his account? In an attempt to convict an innocent man who is dead? Ravi might have done wrong but this is why we need a court hearing cause the evidences below has been censored on youtube. No one is talking about the horrible things Mrs Thompson has done to Ravi. and he deserve a fair Court hearing of what actually took place. Ms. Thompson found Ravi daughter, and began asking her intrusive questions about, among other things, Ravi daughter was offended and considered Ms Thompson’s behavior and demeanor to be aggressive and disturbing. Ms. Thompson repeatedly contacted Ravi. As a result of Ms. Thompson’s repeated messages, Ravi began to consider Ms. Thompson as a friend, in addition to a fan and supporter of RZIM’s mission and his work. Ravi frequently receives death threats originating from these countries and, further, his electronic devices and online accounts have been the target of many hacking attempts. Additionally, his mobile phone has been taken and briefly held by local authorities on a few occasions when visiting Islamic countries. Over the course of the two years following their initial meeting Mrs Thompson attempted to escalate her relationship with Ravi through repeated and persistent BBM messages, e-mails, by sending gifts through the mail, and by traveling from Canada to Georgia on two occasions, but Ravi did not meet her in person. In December 2015 Ms. Thompson obtained Ravi home address under the guise of sending him a Christmas gift. On one visit to Georgia, Ms. Thompson unsuccessfully attempted to contact one of Ravi daughters. Ms. Thompson attempted to meet Ravi on other occasions as well, but Ravi rejected all of these attempts. For example, Ms. Thompson represented that she was a physiotherapist and/or an ergonomist and volunteered to meet Ravi and treat his back pain. Mrs Thompson attempted to coax Ravi into an inappropriate online relationship. Ms. Thompson, at all times without Ravi solicitation, gradually introduced inappropriate topics into conversations with Ravi and then eventually introduced sexual topics. For example, she began expressing her love for Ravi, and then began making sexually suggestive statements. At first, Ms. Thompson sent photographs of herself with her family and pet, but as time went by, she sent photographs of herself stretching and in very scanty clothing and suggestive positions under the guise that these were exercises that would help Ravi back, and then she began sending photographs with less clothing, and ultimately in the nude. Ms. Thompson took these photographs in her office, car, and home. In fact, Ravi asked Ms. Thompson to stop sending him inappropriate material. Ms. Thompson agreed to stop sending Ravi such material, but then began sending photographs again and told Ravi that she could not help herself. When Ravi blocked and/or directed Ms. Thompson’s BBM messages to his spam folder, Ms. Thompson created new BBM identification numbers and continued to send inappropriate photographs and messages. Additionally, on at least two occasions, Ravi rejected Ms. Thompson’s online request for further BBM chats. Recognizing that they would be unable to persuade Ravi to engage in any inappropriate behavior, as part of their scheme, Mrs Thompson decided to become confrontational with Ravi to attempt to extract damaging statements that could support her extortion scheme. Additionally, Ravi, who was worried about his physical well-being and his reputation being unfairly tarnished, pleaded with Ms. Thompson not to escalate the situation. Ms. Thompson’s tone had moved from affectionate adulation to contemptible accusation based upon groundless accusations.

I asked him if he had actually done some serious research into the matter, or just accepted the dominant paradigm. I also pointed out that he had merely adopted another belief system.

    Hey Chad. Really distressed to see the latter part of your comment. Im going to make an assumption or two here. Forgive me if Im wrong. Im 61 but I remember having similar misgivings to yours when I was a young adult. My late dad told me a story how they shared a meal with a young couple when they were all young marrieds about 1955. This other couple had decided they were not going to have children cause the world was such a terrible place, how could you inflict that on a child. Their children, had they been born would have been boomers. This scarey stuff has been going on for yonks. Take practicle measures but please dont take it to heart. PS. Next time I'll tell you how tough we boomers really had it. All the best.

    @@chadjcrase Thank you for responding to my curiosity Chad. These can be scary times. Would you be surprised to learn that newspapers were printing articles about university graduates not being able to find jobs in the early seventies, when I was studying? I remember one article in particular about a PHd driving a cab for his living. I allowed that to discourage me. Don’t get me wrong though. We were blessed in many ways that children are not today. Programs like Roy Rogers were televised that told children the good news about Jesus. We prayed together in school and learned hymns like Jesus Loves Me and Away in a Manger at Christmas time. I draw comfort from the knowledge that God is sovereign. Nothing happens in this world that hasn’t been filtered through his fingers. He keeps all his promises. His plans will be fulfilled. My suggestions would be, and like it or lump it, don’t focus on fear of the future or regrets or hurts from the past. Seek healing from the past and focus on what you can do today. If you haven’t heard of him, you may find Jordan Peterson helpful. I wish you all the best. My kids are your age and younger by a couple of years.

People who don't want to be accountable find it easier to deny that God exists, but it's so much easier to live with hope in a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ, than to live & die without hope for eternity. And we've never needed hope more than today....science can be wonderful, but it's really mankind experimenting or finding what God has created. God is no slacker!

    I don't deny that God exists, I deny that you have met your burden of proof. However, as for Yahweh, Christianity and Islam, we just know too much. These can not possibly be true. They are condemned as their holy books make falsifiable claims about the universe that have been empirically proven false.

Ad hominin, strawman attack, not an argument. I don't know any serious Atheists who seek not to be accountable for their actions nor many if any who deny that God exists. The atheistic position is that you have not met the burden of proof for your claim. It is not my job to prove absence. As for any religion based on or derived from the worship of the hunter/war god Yahweh, well many books have been written on that.

    Excellent and important discussion John Anderson and Prof. John Lennox..! My thoughts on why a good God allows suffering is explained on three fold level: 1) The original sin, and the fallen world in which we live has taken us out of a world in perfect harmony with God, and has placed us in a fallen world subject to pain, suffering, physical death. 2) God sending his son Jesus into the world (so eloquently described by Prof. Lennox) to play a personal role and example in our suffering, willingly die on a cross for our sins, reconciling believers into a forgiven state of grace to spend all eternity with God, our creator. 3) God's offer of salvation is to all, providing hope for all, and laying out the groundwork for a God-centered Jesus driven productive life, giving hope, gratitude in the face of lifes ups and downs on earth, with a mission to share the gospels good news and love of Jesus with all, giving believers a purposeful mission on earth, while being reassured their relationship with God is secure for all eternity. Blessings from Arizona USA..! 🙏🙌💞🇺🇲😇⚖️

    Amen, its emphasis is that God exists and there are aggressors toward Him and His existence and His Authority. So, when an a-Theist attacks with accusations, under guise of logical conclusion: "God must be evil" for allowing rebellion and evil that arises from evil men. Yet their negativity never seems to subside or regress. Which is telling in their belief system, a-Theism is a belief and evolution is their scientific religion. Proof by their a-Theistic symbol they have adopted. Agnostics many times seek rational discussion that would lead to at least a conclusion. As Dr Lennox stated, they do not understand the whole of the debate, as evidenced by inadequate logic as if they will not progress the conversation because they themselves will not accept a y form of validity for concrete facts. The universe exists therefore we cannot establish it created itself when science cannot even recreate or create something new within it. We are subject to the laws that science is based on. A statement is usually their proof. That is never backed only agreed to by mass groups of like minded haters of God. I do pray they realize their blind state of open rejection but I see the scales are tipped and covering their eyes.

Most striking to me (in my lifetime) is still the willful ignorance of our Christian counterparts; making themselves out as experts on a topic they have little more than anecdotal input on while pointing the "cretin finger" at the Christian. I'd say it is astounding, but the Bible had already explained and prepared me for their existence before I had my first encounter with one. If only they actually read The Book even once. But, I digress.
