My mom used to know some Italian fellas that would "take care of that thing for you" for a price. This is going back a number of years however...

Those were the good old days. If they had left the Mafia alone, we wouldn't have a fraction of the problems we have today.

You wanna desecrate a Columbus statue, you'll swim with the fishes.

You wanna burn my store, your family will have their feet cut off and stuffed in their mouths.

Neighborhoods were taken care of.

There's this thing called "free will". All humans have it. Everybody sins, even clergy! I'm not as smart as God, nobody is, to understand Him would make you like God! That cannot and will not happen. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus will judge us all in the end! All we can do is believe and pray for forgiveness of our sins and work at being better Christians/believers in everyday life!

Not somebody 26 minutes away from them. :leaving:

The FBI has a division dedicated to investigating such crimes. Not sure what it's called, is kind of "new"... Hell, everything is kind of new when you get to be my age :lol:

Here, I looked it up for you on the wiki -

The Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch (CCRSB) is a service within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Created in 2002 as part of the U.S. government's post-9/11 response, the CCRSB is responsible for investigating financial crime, white-collar crime, violent crime, organized crime, public corruption, violations of individual civil rights, and drug-related crime. In addition, the Branch also oversees all computer-based crime related to counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal threats against the United States.[
What you've described is financial and probably organized. I'd leave wrecking their lives to the professionals. It's what they're paid to do. Just give the info to them and forget about it.

The FBI is probably running the scam.

Tell your friend to get a new more secure wifi server. I bet that's how the neighbors penetrated the account(s). I would guess they have anything dollar related he/she does online stored and ready for mayhem.

This is sooo not true. People who say things like this show their true ignorance about religion. While I haven't practiced it years I was raised Catholic. If you aren't sorry for your sins you aren't forgiven. If you continue to repeat them you aren't then either.

Why sin in the first place? :bigears: If you are a practicing Catholic, or any other organized religion, you should abide by the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule. If you can't, then you don't have faith in your God and you are a shitbag.

:D

the pope and the catholic church teach that you have to talk to a priest and be forgiven of your sins. and you have to do this on a regular basis according to their teaching.

but that's not what the Bible says.

the Bible says that if you believe that Christ died and rose for your sins, then they are forever forgiven, and you are sinless in God's eyes.

Romans 10:9-10 -

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

1 John 1:9 -

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The whole point of the law is to make us aware that we are sinners, and that there is nothing we can do to pay for our sins. It is to drive us to God and ask Him for forgiveness, and He has paid for our sins with the death and resurrection of Christ.

Hebrews 7:27 -

27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Hebrews 10:12 -

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

There are only 2 religions in the world:

That of human accomplishment, where man tries to please God by his actions.

That of divine accomplishment, where God has paid for the sins of those who believe. This we call Christianity. the others are called by many names.
