-= why won't the British police. do their job and put a stop to it? -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The British police obviously do know. what is taking place. Besides my
interpretations of. what individual officers have said which forces that
conclusion,. it would be inconceivable for them to be unaware of something
on. this scale.

If they know, then they will know that the abusers have broken laws in. the
UK and abroad.. Recently the UK introduced laws against electronic spying
which carry a penalty of several. years jail if caught. If the police know
illegal harassment is taking place, and do. nothing about it, then they are
failing. in their responsibilities.

Last Easter (1995) I. went into the local police station in London and spoke
to an officer about the harassment. against me. But I couldn't provide
tangible. evidence; what people said, in many cases years ago, is beyond
proof, and. without something to support my statements I cannot expect a
police officer to. take the complaint seriously.

The current situation with regard to the police is not one which. allows a
breakthrough in dealing with the problem. On the one hand, most. individual
officers at a local. police station may not know about the ongoing assaults,
so. a complaint at that level will not yield results. Yet the police as an
organisation do know of the harassment, and they must be. aware that a
complaint. has been made at a police station. So it is clearly their duty to
take preventative action against the continuing molestation, but. because
the criminals are operating on behalf of a state. agency, the police are not
carrying out. their duty.

listen to the advice they gave to the other
children; and she was observed very constantly to retire, several times
in a day, as was concluded, for secret prayer. She grew more and more
engaged in religion, and was more frequent in her closet; till at last
she was wont to visit it five or six times a day: and was so engaged in
it, that nothing would at any time divert her from her stated closet
exercises. Her mother often observed and watched her, when such things
occurred as she thought most likely to divert her, either by putting it
out of her thoughts, or otherwise engaging her inclinations; but never
could observe her to fail. She mentioned some very remarkable instances.

She once of her own accord spake of her unsuccessfulness, in that she
could not find God, or to that purpose. But on Thursday, the last day of
July, about the middle of the day, the child being in the closet, where
it used to retire, its mother heard it speaking aloud; which was
unusual, and never had been observed before. And her voice seemed to be
as of one exceedingly importunate and engaged; but her mother could
distinctly hear only these words, spoken in a childish manner, but with
extraordinary earnestness, and out of distress of soul, pray, blessed
Lord, give me salvation! I pray, beg, pardon all my sins! When the child
had done prayer, she came out of the closet, sat down by her mother, and
cried out aloud. Her mother very earnestly asked her several times what
the matter was, before she would make any answer; but she continued
crying, and writhing her body to and fro, like one in anguish of spirit.
Her mother then asked her, whether she was afraid that God would not
give her salvation. She then answered, Yes, 1 am afraid I shall go to
hell!

depends upon the blessing of God, who gives only to things done for Him,
according to His rules and in His ways, the manner being thus as important
as the thing and perhaps more; since God can bring forth good out of evil,
and without God we bring forth evil out of good?

500. The meaning of the words, good and evil.

501. First step: to be blamed for doing evil, and praised for doing good.

Second step: to be neither praised nor blamed.

502. Abraham took nothing for himself, but only for his servants. So the
righteous man takes for himself nothing of the world, nor of the applause of
the world, but only for his passions, which he uses as their master, saying
to the one, "Go," and to another, "Come." Sub te erit appetitus tuus.77 The
passions thus subdued are virtues. Even God attributes to Himself avarice,
jealousy, anger; and these are virtues as well as kindness, pity, constancy,
which are also passions. We must employ them as slaves, and, leaving to them
their food, prevent the soul from taking any of it, For, when the passions
become masters, they are vices; and they give their nutriment to the soul,
and the soul nourishes itself upon it and is poisoned.

503. Philosophers have consecrated the vices by plac

pardon and acceptance with God. Some are from the beginning carried
on with abundantly more encouragement and hope than others. Some have
had ten times less trouble of mind than others, in whom yet the issue
seems to be the same. Some have had such a sense of the displeasure of
God, and the great danger they were in of damnation, that they could not
sleep at nights; and many have said that when they have laid down, the
thoughts of sleeping in such a condition have been frightful to them;
they have scarcely been free from terror while asleep, and they have
awakened with fear, heaviness, and distress still abiding on their
spirits. It has been very common, that the deep and fixed concern on
persons minds, has had a painful influence on their bodies, and given
disturbance to animal nature. The awful apprehensions persons have had
of their misery, have for the most part been increasing, the nearer they
have approached to deliverance; though they often pass through many
changes and alterations in the frame and circumstances of their minds.
Sometimes they think themselves wholly senseless, and fear that the
Spirit of God has left them, and that they are given up to judicial
hardness; yet they appear very deeply exercised about that fear, and are
in great earnest to obtain convictions again.

Together with those fears, and that exercise of mind which is rational,
and which they have just ground for, they have often suffered many
needless distresses of thought, in which Satan probably has a great
hand, to entangle them, and block up their way. Sometimes the distemper
of melancholy has been evidently mixed; of which, when it happens, the
tempter seems to take great advantage, and puts an unhappy bar in the
way of
