I have a new reason for the guilty plea though. After the past year and a half of the Mueller fishing and hunting expedition, I've read that fighting against the government is not just a near impossible feat, but also a very costly one.

General Michael Flynn is a good example of why most will plead guilty, even if innocent. After a career of military service and other public service, he may not have been rich compared to those on Forbes' list, but he was well enough off to not have many worries about finances. Until Mueller targeted him in his fishing and hunting expedition, that is.

At first, Flynn fought the charges. Doing so forced him to sell his home, liquidate his investments/savings and he eventually resorted to crowdsourcing for his legal defense fund.

I believe Bro. Cox simply pled guilty to avoid losing everything. It should concern and anger us that the government can not only bankrupt, but also force an innocent party to plead guilty in order to try and keep from losing everything.

I hope Bro. Cox and his family are well. I also hope no one here has to go through this kind of ordeal.

Thank you my brother.

Amen sister

But it is sad, there are people out there who consider the job of a minister not to be a hard one, and certainly not any sort of work.

Sister Alvear,

Is this comment in response to what I posted?

Sister Alvear · #**226** 09-23-2018, 05:41 PM

No not exactly...reading the threads I see people who do not even know Brother Cox saying things... I think those who say the most usually know the least...I personally know the Coxes.....been in their home many times...He has preached for us here in Brazil and they are just people like all of us...We need to pray for them and I KNOW they pray for me. I love Sister Cox. She is one of the most praying ladies I know. I would imagine if the IRS or anything like that wants to they could get us all for something!

Unless you have some juice you can't make a real difference as far as the politics go. No one cares, because they have to go to work every day with the real struggle. They have their own problems, and those are their main focus. Meanwhile the rich and powerful are working on The Grand Chessboard. Illuminate, hand wringing evil Jewish banker, Roman Catholic Jesuit, Masonic Reptilian Globalists are scary bedtime stories created as distractions. It all comes down to the rich and powerful, those who have money, and who know how to use its lubricating qualities.

Amen.

That is the deal with all the bleeding heart liberal socialists who want to relieve the sufferings of the poor, just as long as they don't have to live with them.

Tell the truth evangelist, she works part time, by her own choosing, at St. Vincent's (a local charity)... and the money is essentially extra money that helps.

And just because I support universal healthcare, it doesn't mean I'm a pinko any more than you supporting free market healthcare makes you a crony capitalist.

We shouldn't judge one another by the extremes. We should actually seek to understand one another truthfully.
