  1. Hehe Ray try this just once, on a biology proffer just once try asking the evolution questions to a professor of biology, will be a very different interview.

  2. Well, if there is no God, and if Jesus never existed–then, why do any good? Why not just live a completely self-centered life, getting all of the fun that one can get out of life? The Bible says that when people who do not know God do what is right, they are proving by their own actions that God does indeed exist.

  3. Jesus never existed
    Doing right and being respectful to all life is the answer, not some mythical figure.

  4. So You Get It Right the First Time and Save Yourself a Lot of Grief

    By Janet Langjahr, Attorney-at-Law

    "Why do those clients call you so often – and not their lawyer in their other state?" an assistant asked me recently.

    It wasn't until then that I realized that she asked a very good question. I decided to ask the next such callers.

    "I can never get him on the phone…When I do, he never has time to talk more than a minute…He makes me feel like I'm bothering him…When I ask a question, he just says not to worry and to leave everything to him…He never returns my calls…He doesn't even remember my son's name…I think he sends me letters so he doesn't have to get on the phone with me…He doesn't seem to care… He talks to me like I'm an idiot…I'm not comfortable discussing private matters with him…He's not even trying to get the visitation schedule I think is best for my daughter…"

    Their answers shocked me – at first.

    These clients were speaking of lawyers with excellent credentials, outstanding reputations and hefty hourly rates.

    They are surely competent. After all, most lawyers really are.

    But these unfortunate victims of the system felt lost and abandoned by their advocates and counselors during one of the most difficult experiences of their lives.

    That's why they called me – even though I was powerless to do anything for them in their other state.

    When I thought about it a little bit, I realized I shouldn't have been shocked by these clients' answers or behavior at all.

    Their problem wasn't peculiar to clients dividing their time between two states or transitioning to a new state.

    It's really the exact same problem reported by more than half of purely local clients who call my office looking for a new lawyer to take over their cases already in progress!

    How is it that these clients have lawyers but feel abandoned?

    They probably didn't think to ask their prospective lawyers about their communications habits before they hired them.

    And they probably didn't give a thought to whether they would be comfortable discussing very personal matters with these prospective lawyers.

    But, unfortunately, they should have done both.

    Really, it's not unreasonable to want to get the ear of a lawyer you're paying to handle any type of matter for you.

    But it's probably essential in divorce and child custody legal matters. Why?

    for many divorce and child custody law clients, this is their first encounter with the strange universe that is the court system and they are often consumed by questions
    their case is about a major upheaval in their personal lives
    they may live on tenterhooks from the beginning of the case until the end
    these battles can be bitter and hostile
    emotions of all kinds can run high
    behavior by parties (and, sadly, sometimes lawyers) can stoop low
    case events can occur on a daily basis
    clients are often vulnerable and stressed out
    they may need some emotional support and
    they may have to confide intimate, personal information to their lawyers
    Of course, every client is unique, and their needs and expectations of their attorneys may be different.

    But, the single most common and most pressing complaint clients level against their lawyers is not about their lawyers' legal skills.

    It's about poor communications, such as failure to return telephone calls and to keep clients informed about the progress of their cases.

    If access to and communication with your lawyer are important to you, make sure you take these matters up with your prospective lawyer before you hire him or her.

    When all is said and done, these may be the biggest and most important differences among the overwhelming majority of lawyers.

    Like it or not, your case may continue for months or, in some cases, years.

    Take it from these unfortunate souls. You really don't want to get hip deep into your case, only to discover that you feel like you are in it all alone.

  7. There is… a scripture like “There is noone good. No not one.”

  8. That is a good idea to ask people about their faith especially lawyers.

  9. Dog, even non-believing atheist scientists and historians acknowledge Jesus existed.

  11. Sin isn’t a mistake. To sin against God is the most terrible thing for anyone to do. Every act of sin wishing only to ascend into heaven see God on the throne, slay Him in a pool of blood and be crowned as God. We don’t want to obey, follow, heed the word of God. Sin isn’t a mistake, it is a horror.

  12. Yeah, Sarah rocks. Thanks.

    Go Sarah, Go!

  13. Thanks your majesty , you're a Inspiration to us all to chill out and have a laugh..ha ha ha

  14. What an excellent video, Ray explains things so well, so that we can understand them. I feel very blessed that God has opened my eyes. Praise Jesus!

  15. Yes. The child is not being abused, nor is she failing to meet educational standards. Homeschool is not illegal. The government needs to butt out.

    I go to a Catholic school and I'm taught religion. That isn't illegal, why should it be for a homeschooled child?

  16. Eternal punishment are better words than death.

  17. Obama wants to outlaw homeschooling that way the kids are indoctrinated by the liberal socialism (progressive) communist marxist thinking and not have the moxy to stand up against it.
    All homeschoolers are having problems in all the states of the USA. It's not just to this girl. But I think that if you write me an email to violetmom41@yahoo and join me in facebook with that same email address you will be surprised that they will be putting us in concentration camps soon enough.

  18. the dude on the right sounded like mike tyson

  19. That all should be humbled in honest submission, as these gentlemen said they would be guilty on judgment day by being their own defense attorney. We all need the only perfect defense attorney, and the bible calls him our advocate, he paid the fine perfectly and washed away all our sins so that we would be found guiltless & so have life everlasting. The Lord Jesus Christ did that for you and me.

  20. You CAN request a different time. I doubt a phone deposition will be allowed.

  21. “If there is no afterlife, then let’s eat drink and be marry for tomorrow we die!”

    Simple as that homie, peace.

  22. God isn’t not doing that now. Revelation YouTube videos may help you there.

  23. There is a legal solution to your problems, but you have to resolve to pursue it. What he's doing is obviously breaking the custody order. That's the angle you need to take.

  24. I think so, but I believe that if she signs a waiver of service it means that she doesn't need to be served.
