What does it mean to Forgive and forget after you have been wronged by someone? To forgive and forget is to stop blaming someone for something they did and to stop thinking about it. Maybe you have heard someone say to you: I forgive you, but I cant forget... What does that really mean? Can a person forgive and at the same time hold onto the memory of the wrong suffered? The Bible makes a big deal about forgiving a wrong suffered. Just in case you are unfamiliar with what the Bible says about forgiving others, let me share a few scripture passages with you: And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you for your offenses. (Mark 11:25) So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. (Col. 3:1213) Included in Jesus prayer that He modeled for all Christians is the expectation to forgive others: Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil (Matt. 6:913). Of the seven petitions included in the Lords Prayer is the need to forgive those who have sinned against us. But, just in case there is any confusion as to how serious Jesus is about His followers forgiving others, He followed up his prayer with these haunting words: For if you forgive other people for their offences, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your offenses (Matt. 6:14-15). What Does it Mean to Forgive? So, what does it mean to forgive and does forgiving a wrong suffered require that you forget it? Peter asked Jesus a question not all that different: Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me and I still forgive him? Up to seven times? In other words, when am I off the hook for having to forgive a person who is a repeat offender? When is enough... enough? It is believed that the rabbis in Jesus day taught that forgiveness should be limited to three instances of premeditated sin. If this is true, Peter asked his question about forgiving seven times thinking that seven times was more than generous with a willingness to forgive. Jesus answer was not what Peter expected: Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy-seven times. Jesus did not mean 77 times, or 490 times, but an unlimited number of times. How many times should I forgive the one who sins against me? As many times as necessary. Jesus answer to Peters question leaves us with more questions: Are we supposed to forgive everyone for every offense against us? Are we to forgive even when the person who sinned against us is not sorry? Does Jesus want us to let others take advantage of us? To answer these questions, we need to turn our attention to the parable Jesus told about forgiveness in Matthew 18:21-35. The Slave Had an Impossible Debt that Could Not be Paid To further elaborate on His point to Peter, Jesus told a parable to illustrate why forgiving as much as necessary makes more sense than three times or even seven times. Before we consider the parable, you should note that just before His parable, Jesus explained the process that we are to take when addressing the sins we suffer from others (see Matt. 18:15-20). If someone sins against us, Jesus told us to go and show that person their fault in private. If we go and that person does not listen, then Jesus said we are to take one or two witnesses in an effort to address that persons sin. Ultimately, Jesus said that if a person repeatedly refuses to listen when you try to address their sin, that we are to treat that person as an unbeliever. So, it is important to understand that Jesus parable is not about ignoring the sins of others. According to Jesus story, there was a king who wanted to settle accounts. As the king was seeking to settle accounts, a man was brought to him who owed him 10,000 talents, which was the equivalent of about 160,000 years of wages. If we were the man in Jesus story, our debt today would be in the billions of dollars. Jesus point was that it was impossible for the man to pay off his debt. Nothing the man could do would ever be enough to pay what he owed. So, the king demanded the man be sold into slavery along with his wife and children. The only recourse the man had was to beg for mercy that his life and the lives of his wife and children be spared: So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, Have patience with me and I will repay you everything (v. 26). We are not told how the slave accumulated his impossible debt, but the fact that it was astronomically high reveals that he deserved justice instead of mercy. Yet, it was mercy that the master gave the slave: And the master of the slave felt compassion, and he released him and forgave him the debt (v. 27). For the king to forgive the slave of his astronomical debt, the king had to take upon himself the great loss the slaves debt caused. The King showed great mercy towards his slave; mercy is when you do not give a person what they actually deserve. The Slave was Unaffected by the Kings Great Mercy The mercy the slave received from his master should have changed him. Because of the great debt that he had been forgiven he should have been a changed man, but he was not. As soon as he experienced underserved pardon and freedom, we are told that the slave, ...went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, Pay back what you owe! What was owed to the slave was nothing compared to the debt he himself had been forgiven, yet he was unwilling to show any form of mercy to the one who owed him infinitely less. The irony is that what was owed could have been paid back eventually; it was not unreasonable for the man who owed 100 denarii to promise to pay it back. Yet even though the man was willing to pay every penny back, the servant who had been forgiven much chose to throw the man in prison until he paid back what was owed. The paradox is that if you are in prison, then working off a debt is nearly impossible. The great mercy the slave experienced with the cancelation of his impossible debt should have changed him, but it didnt. Jesus then concluded his parable with the following sobering words: So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their master all that had happened. Then summoning him, his master said to him, You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you? And his master, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he would repay all that was owed him. (Matt. 18:3134) If Jesus story ended with verse 34, then it would only be a sad story about a slave who remained unaffected by the kings great mercy. However, that is not how the story ended. The story ends with Jesus sobering words that serve as a warning to us all: My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart (v. 35). What Jesus Teaches Us About Forgiveness It ought to be obvious who the characters are in Jesus parable, but in case you are not sure, we are the slave in the story who owed an impossible debt to the king. The King is the holy God we have sinned against. The One who made the canceling of our great debt possible is Jesus who suffered in our place for our redemption. So there are some lessons about forgiveness that I would like to highlight that I think you will find helpful from the life of Jesus that is true if you are a Christian and I want to show you those lessons from Revelation 5. Our sins will no longer be held against us (Rev. 5:6) In Revelation 5:6, Jesus is presented in heaven as the Lamb of God standing victoriously who had been slaughtered for the sins we committed. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, Jesus is presented as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). Jesus did not take part of your sins away; He addressed all of your sins upon the cross where He was slaughtered! The Lamb of God is standing in Revelation 5:6 because He did not stay dead! He rose from the grave and stands as our advocate and sin-substitute! He is, standing, as if slaughtered... because He bears the marks of the cross as a perpetual reminder that what He accomplished on the cross was and is all that we need! Because He will forever be known as the Lamb of God who stands as if slaughtered, there will never be a moment in eternity that His great sacrifice for our sins will ever be forgotten. Now, you may be saying to yourself: But Pastor Keith, what about those verses in the Bible that say that God forgets our sins? Lets look at some of those verses briefly: They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember. (Jer. 31:34) I, I alone, am the one who wipes out your wrongdoings for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins. (Isa. 43:25) For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, and their sins I will no longer remember. (Heb. 8:12) The verses from Jeremiah and Isaiah are promises concerning the New Covenant that God said would come through Jesus. The passage in Hebrews is a reference to that promise that only Jesus can make possible. The Hebrew word used in both Jeremiah and Isaiah not only can mean remember but it can also mean named. It is not that God forgets from His memory all our sins, it is much better than that! Because Jesus was slaughtered for our sins, our sins will never be named for the purpose of being held against us. Our guilt has been taken away, and Jesus bears the marks of the cross for all eternity as a testament to that reality! Now, against the backdrop of that truth, listen to Psalm 104:12, As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our wrongdoings from us. God does not forget our sins as though He suffers from amnesia, but He has chosen to never hold our sins against us because they were placed upon Jesus in our place. Principle #1: If you chose to forgive, you chose to no longer hold the offense of that person against him/her. We are the recipients of Gods great mercy (Rev. 5:9-10) In heaven, the heavenly chorus includes lyrics of a new song about Jesus: Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You have made them into a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth (Rev. 5:910). All our deserved hell Jesus endured to make the forgiveness of our sins possible and redemption a reality! The way that He did it was with the shedding of His blood. In other words, He died for sinners like us. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, we read that, He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Mercy is not getting what we deserved and what we deserved was condemnation, but praise God that He is a God who is rich in mercy, great in His love, and sufficient in His grace (see Eph. 2:4-9)! Here is what mercy cost Jesus according to Galatians 3:13-14, Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for usfor it is written: Cursed is everyone who hangs on a Treein order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Gal. 3:1314). Principle #2: We who have received great mercy, are expected to extend mercy even when it is not deserved as citizens of Jesus kingdom. Reconciliation is impossible unless forgiveness is given, and it is received. This is the final lesson on forgiveness from Revelation 5, and it seems obvious. Jesus already made redemption and the forgiveness of sins possible for anyone who wants to receive it, but it is not complete for the sinner until it is received by the sinner. The incalculable scores of angels, along with the 24 elders shout with a loud voice concerning Jesus: Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing. In response, all of heaven affirms what is already true: To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever (v. 13). Jesus offers forgiveness through what He already accomplished on the cross and through the empty tomb, but it must be received for reconciliation with God and the forgiveness of our sins to be possible. When it comes to Jesus parable about forgiveness, you alone have to choose to forgive those who have sinned against you, but once you do, you have also chosen to longer hold the offence against that person. To forgive is an act of mercy that you chose to gift to that person. However, there is a third principle: Principle #3: Reconciliation cannot be possible unless the person forgiven is willing to receive your forgiveness. All you can do is forgive those who have sinned against you and to no longer hold their sins against them. If we truly understand what it means to be forgiven of our sins and what it cost Jesus, we will hold short accounts of wrongs suffered knowing that what Jesus suffered on the cross was and is sufficient for those who have sinned aginst us. Amen.

They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news the economies of most major powers are in good shape and their companies are prospering.But for those who follow such things, we should note that President Biden has decided not to run in the Presidential election in November, stepping aside. The race for the Democratic nomination is now open at their convention in Chicago starting on Tuesday August 20 (NZT) even though Biden endorsed Kamala Harris.Well before then and ahead this week will be some early PMIs for July released for many key economies. Although there are no major June CPI due for release, the US's important PCE inflation data is due on Saturday NZT and that will be keenly awaited. The US will also release its first estimate of Q2 GDP on Friday and markets expect real growth there to be +2% from Q1. Good recent data might well see it above that.Canada is reviewing its policy rate on Thursday, and market now expect a -25 bps cut to 4.5%China is set to announce its policy interest rate decision this week, and it should be releasing its troubled FDI update soon, both possibly later today.Over the weekend, the big overnight news was that a "faulty channel file" from CrowdStrike took down Windows computers everywhere, including in New Zealand. Outages were widespread, including for many bank services. It was a spectacular own-goal and not a malicious strike. We have more details here. And our review shows how you can recover if you were affected.. But be careful; within hours scammers had launched new domains hoping to trick users into 'response scams'. CrowdStrike made its name fixing tech problems. Now it has caused a doozy. The echoes are lingering and may do for some time yet.And the situation isn't going to do anything for tech company valuations generally. US$13 bln CrowdStrike's share price was down -11% on Friday alone, down -18% for the week.Interestingly, China seems to have escaped the issue, largely due to its self-sufficiency policies. But it has hit Hong Kong.A new research note by the New York Fed is pointing out that since the GFC, American factory productivity improvements have stalled. Tech has been no saviour to this sector. Prior to that, large firms built innovative advances. But since even the leading firms haven't got productivity gains. They call the change a 'mystery'. Even shifting low-wage production offshore didn't have the effect of raising it. Nor competition, it seems. And all this come as their employed workforce hit record highs.In Canada, their expected May retreat in retail sales after the strong April gain came in deeper than expected. If it wasn't for good car sales, it would have been much worse. June is expected to be -0.3% lower too. Now their year-on-year gain is only +1.0%, much less than their inflation of +2.7%.Canadian producer prices rose +2.8% in the year to June, the same as for the year to May.Japanese inflation stayed at 2.8% in June, well above their central bank's upper target range. It has been consistently above 2% since April 2022. Food prices rose 3.6% in June although that was lower than the May 4.1% rate. Energy prices were up 2.4% but that is somewhat artificially high because fuel subsidies ended in May. These levels are marginally lower than analyst expectations.China has ended its internal policy meetings, the Third Plenum. As suspected, little real economic reform seems to have been on their agenda. Just more of a 'security is everything' attitude, more excessive adverbs, and a seeming turn inward. Those hoping for 'reform' and 'opening up' will have been disappointed.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.24% and unchanged from Saturday.On Wall Street, earnings season will hit a crescendo this week with over thirty companies boasting market caps exceeding US$100 bln are set to unveil their Q2 financial reports.

The word “trauma” is thrown around frequently these days. But what is trauma, exactly? How can we interact well with those who have experienced it? Join Micah, Christa, and our special guest Lillian Dehn as we discuss how to how to better love those who are hurting and how to defuse sticky situations.=============================De-Escalation Techniques=============================⬇️ Speak slowly and lower the pitch of your voice.⬇️ Take deep breaths. The distressed person will often mirror this action.⬇️ Move slowly. Sudden movements can make the distressed person more anxious.⬇️ It can be helpful to raise your hands with palms out as a sign of openness. You can bring them around your face to draw the distressed person's attention to your face (or to protect yourself if needed).⬇️ Refrain from yelling, even if the distressed person is doing so.⬇️ Ask the distressed person questions like: How can I help you? What would make this better? What would make you feel safe?⬇️ Offer the person something to drink (water or non-caffeinated drinks are best). This can reset the person's fight/flight response if they feel it is safe to swallow and digest.⬇️ Don't touch the distressed person. They may think you are trying to control or harm them.⬇️ Use tools like CUFF. Be Calm, Unaffected, Firm, and Funny (without sarcasm).=============================Stuck In The Messy: Channel Credits=============================
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently addressed concerns regarding the potential delay of the election interference prosecution against former President Donald Trump due to ongoing proceedings concerning her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired for the case. In an interview with CNN on March 23, Willis asserted that despite efforts to impede progress, the case has not been hindered. In the interview she stated, "I don't feel like we have been slowed down at all… the train is coming." Furthermore, Willis dismissed suggestions that her reputation required redemption, asserting that she had not engaged in any actions warranting embarrassment. Regarding her relationship with Wade, she remarked, "I'm not embarrassed by anything I've done… my greatest crime is that I had a relationship with a man, but that's not something I find embarrassing in any way."

Today we continue our conversation about Jubilee and look at various passages. We see that;GOSPEL REDEMPTION IS NOT:1) Striving to do good to make God happy with you.2) Striving to do good to avoid the consequences of bad actions.3) Unaffected, easy believism.GOSPEL REDEMPTION IS:1) The transactional work of Jesus that moves us from enemies and slaves to sons and daughters.2) The way by which we change deeply from the inside out.3) The route by which the Spirit produces the fruit of Christ in our lives.Applications:1) Spend time thanking Jesus for specific things He has freed you from.2) Examine whether you spend most of your time avoiding consequences, earning favor, or simply living with and for Jesus.3) Practice sacrifice.4) Put away anything or anyone with control over you other than Jesus.5) Seek counsel and correction from healthy believers if you are subject to obsession and/or addiction.6) Be patient with ourselves and others.7) Share it with someone else.

Would you like more followers on social media?More likes?More engagement?YES?Almost everyone wishes they had a larger following on social media. Infact, there are courses in the market on “How to get 300k followers in 30 days.”Sounds tempting, right?Who wouldn't want a larger community? Why not?But the question we really need to ask is, why?Why do we want a larger community?How does it help us or help them?Will it make us better photographers?Will it boom our business?Will it celebritize us in the industry?Will it bring more clients?Truth is, having a large following is very minutely linked to any of these. The celebritize part I would agree with but at the core of being photographers and business owners, social media only solves a certain purpose for us.This week on the podcast we continue our conversation on this hot topic with the power-duo, husband-wife team, Madhushree and Anindya Basu @pikturenama.Previously restaurateurs, now food bloggers, food influencers, food photographer & videographer, cookbook authors, food writers, together the duo runs a creative agency in India. Madhu and Anindya have a stunning social media presence and are driving a successful food blogging and photography business...And in this episode they share how it's been possible inspite of social media changes. We discuss whether algorithm changes impact client work, When do the numbers on social media matter, Mistakes creators make, what it takes to create a robust presence on social media & the absolute needle moving effort that improves skills and brings businessThere is no denying that social media numbers are important but we need to have utmost clarity on how they're working for us and why we should work on them.It is essential to take a step back and look at our clients or our revenue generators to see how much of it is really linked to social media. What would happen if our numbers didn't grow?What would fall apart?This conversation with Madhu & Anindya is an eye opener. They're practical about the value of social media but at the same time, they've taken steps to build a solid foundation for their business that does not get impacted by algorithm changes. If you've wondered whether it's possible to thrive as a food photographer with a smaller following on social media or creating less content or being less present, this episode is for you.It will tell you exactly where numbers matter and where they don't Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Read more at https://myfoodlens.comShow notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/74-how-to-create-a-resilient-food-photography-business-unaffected-by-social-media-changes-with-madhushree-anindya-basu-part-2/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch

Instagram has gone through such massive changes in the last year that we food photographers & bloggers are finding it difficult to love it like before.Some creators are thriving.Some have left the platform.Some have distanced themselves.Some return only for the community and conversations. It has impacted almost all of us esp. those who depended on Instagram for collaborations, influencer work, driving traffic to their blog or getting discovered by clients. While we feel robbed of the joy we once felt sharing our work on the platform, our businesses have also been impacted.It's not easy navigating through this phase of social media. It doesn't really inspire us to share our work on it anymore like before.Tell me you feel so too.This week's podcast is ultra-special because we have not one, but two special guests - husband-wife, Madhushree and Anindya Basu @pikturenama.Previously restaurateurs, now food bloggers, food influencers, food photographer & videographer, cookbook authors, food writers, together the duo runs a creative agency in India. While many creators are struggling in this social media climate, Madhu and Anindya are buzzing with their thriving food blogging and photography business....And in this episode they share how it's been possible inspite of social media changes. We talk about the impact of social media on the creative industry, how to diversify your business, how to promote your business outside of social media, get discovered by clients, a powerful practice to grow your business while staying unaffected by Instagram algorithms etc.As creators, we love connecting back to a community on social media and as business owners, we love how social media gives us access to potential clients and showcases our professional work.There are so many reasons for us to feel frustrated given how it has changed but hearing Madhu & Anindya will not only give hope but also leave you with fresh ideas on how to navigate through this phase.It's time to embrace, adapt and pivot because it is totally possible to still find joy in sharing our work and also have a thriving business in spite of Instagram's mood swings.Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/create-resilient-food-photography-business-unaffected-by-social-media-changes/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch
The Supreme Court's June 29th ruling that race-based affirmative action in admissions is unconstitutional was disappointing for many educators, but not necessarily a surprise. But the rulings don't impact how local institutions such as Fort Lewis College operate. Additionally, the rulings don't impact how schools conduct outreach or recruit.

Unaffected by the West, in rural India spiritual paths such as traditional Sant Mat continue to preserve and communicate the wisdom of the Masters about living a spiritual way of life. At the heart of their spirituality is the meditation practice known as Inner Light and Sound Meditation (Surat Shabd Yoga). There are references to this form of meditation dating back to the time of the Upanishads and other ancient scriptures, also more recently with the various Sant movements populated by bhakti poet-mystics and spiritual masters such as Sant Namdev, Guru Kabir, Guru Nanak, Sant Ravidas, Sant Dharam Das, Sant Tukaram, Sant Dadu Dayal, Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Goswami Tulsi Das, Sant Tulsi Sahib, Sant Radhaswani Sahib up to the living present. Today we explore the teachings of Santji, Baba Devi Sahab, and Maharshi Mehi Paramhans about successful meditation practice and the journey of the soul back to God.

-My heart, alas- is alienated from God, backward and contrary to the exercise of religion. I have lost all delight in spiritual things. I cannot call the Sabbath a delight, nor attend to any ordinance with pleasure. My character is very different from what is described in Psa 1.2- 'His delight is in the law of the Lord- and in his law he meditates day and night.' And my language must be just as different from what the Psalmist uses in Psa 119.97, 'How I love Your law,' etc. Those words-in Isa 53.2, 'He has no form or beauty,' etc. seem more like the language of my own heart and ways. And God may complain of me, as in Hos 8.12.1 -When I bow before the Lord in secret, it is with a servile temper - not thankful, as in enjoying a privilege, but from a sense of absolute necessity, being convinced of my need for mercy.--When I am not altogether in a stupid, dull, indolent frame, I bewail before Him the wretched depravity of my nature, and the dreadful effects of it throughout the whole man, appearing in pride, unbelief, neglect of God, and the like. But I am more affected by these things as my misery, than as my sin. And therefore, I fear I do not come to Christ as those do who are drawn by the Father.

In December 2022, Congress passed and President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA). The bill (1) repeals section 2 of the Defense of Marriage Act, which permitted states to deny recognition of same-sex marriages created in other states; (2) forbids those acting “under of state law” to withhold recognition of marriages created in other states on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin; (3) creates mechanisms to enforce that prohibition; and (4) requires the federal government to recognize marriages validly created in one or more states. The RFMA also includes provisions relating to religious liberty.Supporters of the bill claimed that portions of the Supreme Court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization raised the specter of the Court overturning Obergefell v. Hodges (which established a constitutional right to same-sex marriage). They argued that the bill would be needed in the event the Court ever overturned Obergefell. Debate centered on (1) whether legislation to protect same-sex marriage was necessary; (2) the extent to which it would threaten the religious liberty of those who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman and (3) the efficacy of the religious liberty provisions in the bill.Now in the wake of the RFMA passing, those discussions continue. To what degree does the RFMA affect or possibly impinge on religious liberty? Has anything really changed, or is this simply the codification of the status quo? Is this a statute ripe for abuse that threatens the exercise of religious liberty, or are the warnings issued concerning it perhaps overblown? This panel of experts discussed these questions and others in this panel analyzing the Respect for Marriage Act, what it is, and what it means for religious liberty. Featuring:Carl H. Esbeck, R.B.

The most dangerous person of all is one with a twisted inner mind who blends into society without being noticed. Quietly watching and planning. Considering their options while participating in normal family life as if all was well. These are the people who pose the most threat. They are the ones who rear up, violent and sudden with no warning and no precursor.Defense against these attacks is almost always futile. What is left behind is a façade of innocence banking on previous good character and unimposing life to protect them and cover their hideous actions. Lives are taken and they are destroyed, and the perpetrator walks on. Unaffected, uncaring, and entirely self-serving. These are the people whom we should fear the most.Two lives were snatched away in July 2021 and two people who had never hurt a soul had their dignity stripped from them. The details of this case are harrowing and deeply disturbing. At the centre is a young man who has devastated lives with his senseless actions. A young man who possesses a character that is loathsome and dangerous. Listener, the tragic case of the Halderson's is one you will never be able to forget.Warning: Violence, DismembermentWriter: Fiona Guy-Black Label Episodes AND Ad-Free episodes are now available on Apple Podcasts Premium.-Visit us online at obscuracrimepodcast.com-Find us on all podcasting platforms: https://link.chtbl.com/obscura-Support Obscura on Patreon and unlock the exclusive Black Label episodes: www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcast-Check out our other podcasts: itsarclightmedia.com
