I went back over there, Jay, and I think those posts I mentioned have been deleted. I'm sure it was in the thread "Replies to posts elsewhere." I saw one of my posts from this thread in there, but I think everyone has made it over there, so I'm just one of the gang. I've been in there a few times

I missed this post. I was away for a few days on a business trip last week and I kind of lost track of some of the threads as a result.

Please don't worry about it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were jello posts which got deleted after you posted about them here. Especially if the contents were pure fabrication anyway. It's one of the reasons why I refrain from reading any of the BORG threads these days. To me, it would be like using the tabloid gossip columns as a reference for a piece of academic research! jameson & co can write/say whatever they like about me on those threads and I won't be reading them or dignifying their comments with a reply.

My time is in shorter supply these days and I am interested only in facts. Hard, verifiable facts with sources. Not hearsay, gossip and quotes taken out of context with no links to the sources. Sadly, one doesn't find much of that at jameson's forum - unless it is pro-Ramsey. I like to read both sides of an equation.

I understand perfectly, Jay. I think all of us have been torn apart over at the swamp, and only go there when we hear unusual news; the latest being Jameson's decision to discuss the negativity of the Ramsey's behavior.

. All the made up stories from WS just sidetrack everyone from the reason why we're all here. I'm very much surprised at the personal jealousy involved with certain posters.

Ramseys deliver message of hope
Stacie Morgan Sentinel Reporter

COCOLAMUS â€” â€œUntil they tell me that theyâ€™ve done all they can do â€” it will never be solved â€” I will never give up hope.â€

Those words, spoken by Patsy Ramsey, mother of JonBenet, whose yet-unsolved 1996 murder subjected the Ramsey family to unrelenting investigative and media scrutiny, give her reason to keep believing.

On the morning after Christmas of that year, the Ramsey family experienced what John Ramsey calls the worst moment of his life. He discovered a ransom note in the kitchen and the absence of his 6 year-old daughter.

â€œIn that very moment â€” the kind of moment when youâ€™re in the mall and you realize your little one is no longer by your side â€” I got a huge knot in my stomach. But, there was no relief of finding a little head poking out of a clothing rack to show that my child was simply hiding. I found her five hours later, in the basement, strangled,â€ John Ramsey said.

The Ramseys were the guest speakers at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ministries Adult Appreciation Fund Raising Banquet. The couple spoke to a roomful of parents and a handful of teens as they stood at the front of East Juniata High Schoolâ€™s cafeteria Tuesday night to share their experiences and their â€œspiritual journeys.â€

The case is no longer in the hands of police in Boulder, Colo., where the murder occurred. It is being handled by newly elected district attorney Mary Keenan, someone the Ramseys say has â€œbeen an answer to prayer.â€

â€œWe are now absolutely convinced there is a competent, first-class investigative team handling the case,â€ said Patsy.

Since Keenanâ€™s team took over the investigation, Patsy said they were shown a room â€œfilled with literally hundreds of notebooks of leads that had not been followed up.â€

Patsy said the biggest forward step in the case has been the recent submitting of the â€œforeign male DNA, that was taken from JonBenetâ€™s body, into the national CIAâ€™s DNA codis.â€ The DNA codis is a huge bank in which the DNA of convicted sex offenders is stored, according to Patsy.

However, there is a large backlog of DNA samples to be entered. In Colorado alone, there are 10 yearsâ€™ worth of criminal DNA samples that canâ€™t be entered into the system because the federal government doesnâ€™t have the time or the money to fund such a huge undertaking, according to the Ramseys. John Ramsey said that some states donâ€™t even participate in the program.

In addition to the shortage of funding and manpower for the codis program, there is also the fact that some sex offenders may not even be arrested for such an offense. Instead, they may have plea bargained for a lesser crime, so their DNA is not taken, according to John Ramsey.

This is the cause the Ramseys champion at every opportunity.

â€œEvery state and every felon, regardless of their conviction, should be required to submit a DNA sample for the database,â€ John said.

Keeping abreast of their daughterâ€™s case is only one activity that keeps the Ramseys moving.

The couple also promotes the spiritual lessons they learned not only in JonBenetâ€™s death, but in another death experienced about five years before the loss of JonBenet. Johnâ€™s oldest daughter, Beth, was killed in a traffic accident.

Other lessons have been garnered with Patsyâ€™s diagnosis of stage four ovarian cancer, something that happened after Bethâ€™s accident but before the murder of JonBenet.

John said he has learned that Godâ€™s love is unconditional, and that no matter what happens, it is trust in the Lordâ€™s promises that have kept him going.

For Patsy, it is knowing that life is not about our purposes, but about Godâ€™s purposes.

â€œJonBenet was in this world for a purpose. She fulfilled that purpose. Thatâ€™s what weâ€™re called to do.

â€œFulfilling Godâ€™s purposes gives us hope for the future. As adults who are entrusted with the lives of children it should be our purpose to make an investment in their lives. There is no treasure here on earth, nothing more worth your while than being in the future investments business,â€ Patsy Ramsey said.
