Judge Not!

Quote From: jojojo

I am offended by the way you jump to conclusions about what the problem is in this case, only knowing about it by what you read or have seen via media.( cnn etc I suppose) 

  

First of all, Paul van der Sloot is NOT a judge!. The fact that you think that he is , is because you follow all the false, manipulated information being brought to you by american newschannels, and Beth Twitty.  

  

Wake UP! Start to think for yourself. Seek teh thruth!   Arubians don't care? They cared enough to swallow theyre pride and permit americans to conduct their own investigations, with hotel bills,food etc on the Aruban bills.Do you honestly think that AMerica would let dutch officials search for a missing dutch in the states! GUess what! They don't! 

  

If there isn't more proof to keep these guys in jail, then wel there isn;t, and maybe, maybe it's because there is not any  left to be found 

  

NAtalee's mom can pretend alls he wants her child is miss perfect and innocent, but the fact remains, that she wasn;t behaving like miss Bible sudy  in ARUBa!!  

sO MAYBE, MAYBE mommy doesn't know whta her daughter has been up to for real! 

  

Who knows, maybe she is in Dominica hiding from mom, with a belly and a beautiful big black guy! 

  

I sure hope she is!.  I 

  

Would safe us all the energy being put into a case in which the thruth may not ly where everybody thinks t does! 

As a Mother of 2 boys I am appauled at the comments I read! No one should wish any ill mannered feelings on anyone! Put yourself in their shoes & maybe you would wish differently or want to be treated differently. No, Beth is not perfect...neither am I. I know a lot of what goes on in my sons lives, but not all. It is up to them to make their own decisions and I am blessed that they confide so deeply in me. I do my very best as a single Mom to guide them and even then that does not always work. Do the math. In this day and age of acceptance to "this generation" what else can you expect to happen. I am tired of hearing children proclaiming that was our generation, not theirs! If more parents spent just a little more time in their own children's lives, educating them on events such as this, then it would be a great wake up call to their future. Children may not always understand that we want what is best, sometimes when it is too late...but it  is what we believe to be the best.  

...I feel sorry for you, judging so brutally. "The Truth Shall Set You Free"  

My prayers go out to Beth & her daughter Natalee. I do not take sides, but no that God knows all. I pray that a resolution of fairness is brought so that Beth may continue forward with her life with her other child.

09/15 The Disappearance of Natalee

Quote From: grandmafuz

ARUBA, PEOPLE. YOU SOUND  EVIL THE WAY YOU SPEAK OF NATALEE AND BETH. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR CHILD WAS RAPED AND MURDER AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE CONFESSED TO THE CRIME.AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO FIGHT WE WANT THE TRUTH AND JUSTICE . I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY REALLY GREAT PEOPLE IN ARUBA. BUT THEY NEED TO STAND UP AND DEMAND THE TRUTH. NOT ONLY FOR NATALEE BUT FOR THEMSELFS  THIS CAN AND PROBABLY HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR OWN PEOPLE. WHAT ABOUT THE 14 YEAR OLD THEY RAPED AND DRUGGED AND TAPED? SHE WAS ONE OF YOUR OWN .IF YOU DO NOT HANDEL THIS CASE AND BRING CLOSER YOUR COUNTRY WILL LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. GOD BLESS. GRANDMAFUZ

I don't know, but what did Americans do when all the evidence POINTED straight to OJ Simpson as the murderer of his wife and her friend? 

  

And what about Michael Jackson?  I mean, the MAN SLEEPS with little boys, yet, he still operates his little Neverland Ranch.... 

  

COME ON!

Now that this has turned out into the shouting match I thought it would, I ask all of you to calm down and take a moment to breathe and think. 

  

This is an awful case, really a whole lot has been done but unfortunately the outcome so far has not been satisfactory to Bet Twitty and Family. 

  

But this is most certainly not helping the case and is just an ugly mud slinging festival. 

  

I will not post any comments here anymore. 

  

I wish the Holloway-Twitty Familiy and the people of Aruba and The Netherlands all the best.

COME ON!   

Those 2 cases are just awful and many American's(in fact EVERYONE I talked to) were astounded that those 2 jerks got off scott free. Money,money,Money and power ran those cases during trial. I have yet to meet an American that believes justice was done in those cases.Now,watch out because old frisky Michael Jackson is looking to move to a new country .(because bad old America prosecuted him-boo hoo)and for your sake,I hope it is not Aruba.Isn't he a creep?Now,the world is his playground and every country should be on guard in case he choses THEIR country next.

sad for all involved

As a mother I was horrified to hear what might have happened to Natalee. As a woman coming from The Netherlands I was even more sad to hear a young male from my country could be involved. Not blaming anyone in this matter, I just hope Natalee will be found alive. And if in the worst scenario this might not happen, I'll just hope justice will come through. But let's not forget the pain in the family of the suspects to this crime. Not any mother or father ever hopes this will happen to their child, guilty or not guilty.  Like Natalee's parents they want to do anything to protect their child or help them if they're found guilty. A prayer is in it's place for all involved. I wish  them all great strength.

 Really,I agree. I don't want to be harsh or mean on this board and I know there are hard feelings here now and it does seem like our countries are now even further apart. My goal in posting here was not to offend anyone and I am sorry when I did offend. I am sad to hear America is thought of that way by many countries according to some posters. Our government and it's policies do not represent all of us Americans fairly.Some of us want to help,not harm. Peace to all.

Misguided

Quote From: seaweed

My friend and I own a travel agency in Cincinnati, Ohio and we're in contact with other travel agency franchises in other cities and a lot of us have TOTALLY STOPPED BOOKING ANY TRIPS TO ARUBA.... This was a place that my husband and I had wanted to plan a family trip to and there is no way on earth I'd ever give my money to Aruba-after the way they have handled this Natalie Holloway case...I just hope that God gives Beth Twitty the strength to continue her fight to find her daughter...and I personally blame the USA officials for sitting back and allowing this to happen.  We need to get in there and fight for our own.  I love President Bush to death and I think he is a terrific President however you can bet your bottom dollar if it was one of his daughters that went missing in Aruba-something would be done and he wouldn't stop until he was given answers and his daughter...  My prayers go out to Natalie and her family....
Why would you singe out Aruba when there are so many other crime riden vacation areas.  Just because this girl used poor judgement why punish the population of Aruba.  Maybe travelers will choose anyother travel agent when booking their vacations.

Deepak

Dr. Phil, 

 Thank you so much for having the show about Natalee,and for all you are doing for her family. 

  

A concern of many in the various forums is if the tape of  Deepak can be used as evidence. 

A lady on At Large with Geraldo Rivera said they would have to decide, ("first even if was indeed Deepak's voice") and if the tape was recorded under the pretense of a possible apperance/interview show, and that Deepak did not know he was being taped. Can you put our fears about this to rest? Thank You.

As Jug says, “Aruba and its people should not be harmed of the actions of others over which they had no control

http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1393 SCARED MONKEYS - LETTER & RESPONSE FROM JUG TWITTY. TAKE SOME TIME TO READ THE ENTIRE POST ON SCARED MONKEYS. WE WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON THESE POINTS AND THIS FEEDBACK AT THIS TIME: ######################################################################### [READ THIS AGAIN AS MANY OF US KNOW THIS AND COULD NOT AGREE MORE!] The Holloway’s and Twitty’s have made it abundantly known that their problem is not with the Aruban people. Their issues have been with the investigation and those it it, some who are no longer on the case.################################################################# It would appear that Jug Twitty has pretty much the same idea in mind. A boycott or threatened boycott of Aruba could only hurt relations with the Aruban people and Government when they are needed more than ever. Especially since the Aruban Prime Minister is offering his cooperation and the FBI is now able to access files on the case. Many people should see what Jug is sending to American law makers, especially the Aruban people, as this is a far cry from demanding boycotts at all cost in any attempt to hurt the Arubans. *************************************[EVERYONE TAKE THIS TO HEART] As Jug says, “Aruba and its people should not be harmed of the actions of others over which they had no control.”[WE DO SYMPATHIZE - WE FEEL THE SAME WAY AND COULD NOT AGREE MORE!] ############################################################ AS MANY OF US FEEL, THE LAST THING WE WANT IS TO BOYCOTT ARUBA, BUT MANY FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TRAVEL TO ARUBA UNTIL THERE IS A FAIR & HONEST RESOLUTION. SO NO MORE LIES, ONLY THE TRUTH!!! TO THE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS IN ARUBA WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART FELT SUPPORT!!!!! TO ANYONE WHO HAS INFORMATION: PLEASE HELP IN THE REARREST/REINCARCERATION OF THE SUSPECTS: JORAN VAN DER SLOOT AND THE KALPOE BROTHERS, [AND IN MANY PEOPLE'S OPINION, PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT]. PLEASE EVERYONE, DO WHAT YOU CAN TO REACH A RESOLUTION & PLEASE COME FORWARD! ###################################THERE THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR A BOYCOTT IF PEOPLE COME FORWARD, AND THE SUSPECTS ARE REARRESTED/REINCARCERATED!!! THE NEW EVIDENCE ON DR. PHIL, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ALONE QUANTIFIES THE REARREST OF THE SUSPECTS. IT IS HORRIFYING WHAT DEEPAK STATED ON CAMERA ALONG WITH MRS. KALPOE, IT IS HORRIFYING WHAT JORAN SAID IN HIS STATEMENTS. IT IS INSULTING & EQUALLY HORRIFYING, JORAN, AND THE KALPOE BROTHERS AS OF THIS PAST WEEK ARE "TOTALLY FREE'" PER THE ARUBAN GOVERNMENT/AUTHORITIES. WHAT AN INSULT & A SLAP IN THE FACE OF THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ARUBA, THE FAMILY OF NATALEE, AND EVERYONE WHO CARES ####################################################### The family of Natalee Holloway wants people to feel free to come forward with information and they will guarantee you anonymity. Please send legitimate leads, tips, or information which can help find Natalee Holloway, or resolve her disappearance to HELPFINDNATALEE@COMCAST.NET############################################ The family of Natalee Holloway wants people to feel free to come forward with information and they will guarantee you anonymity.
