Even if she did it, and she may very well have for all I know, so what? They got the family tossed from the plane, the FAA fined her $3K, and no bones were broken and there was real physical injury to speak of. If I'm on that jury, I might find in favor of the Plaintiff for $1. You can't collect (or shouldn't be able to but who knows how the jury will weight it) for damaged faith. You don't get hemorrhoids from an elbow to the chest and an in-the-face dose of disillusionment. You certainly shouldn't need psychological counseling over it, IMO. It looks on the face of it like a spoiled rotten diva who's used to having everyone bow to her vs. a grubby little opportunist drama queen.

No doubt it's a money grub. If things happened as the flight attendant said it did, which I'd be inclined to believe, she has quite a temper, but I seriously doubt she really caused that lady any harm. Because of her position, Victoria probably wouldn't counter-sue but with the damage the headlines are doing, I'd be inclined to take a look at it.

What would she sue the flight attendant for, though? Telling the truth in public? That's the danger of celebrities showing their tempers. Ask Bob "Sock-It-To-Me" Schuller.

Now, that's probably true! She probably was doing her best, and that's a personal strength!! Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might. (Eccl. 9:10) :lol:

Sister Osteen!?????

People that preach "Jesus is Mammon's fetch it boy" and "power of words" witchcraft hardly qualify as family.

You talking about the Osteens or the flight attendant? ;)
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

I think we should call the fashion police, because that flowered jacket is

just wrong! :lol:

I don't know what else to say, I wasn't there... but I will say I

hate it when I am somewhere such as a restaurant with Christians, & they

are demanding with servers. Like one time we had a guest evangelist, in

fact he was from the Hillsong church, an Austrailian guy.... maybe it is just

their culture, or his personality...but he was very demanding about the

onions in his fajitas... I dislike that.


I hope it works out somehow for the good... for both parties, ouch. :oops:
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

This is ludicrous. Would the flight attendant have sued if the alleged perpetrator had of been my Aunt Lillie? :roll: :?

DeWayne,

I'm curious to know how you have this privileged information? 8) :D

I should rephrase that sentence. I meant that if things happened that way, she has quite a temper and (separate thought) I have no reason to believe things happened differently. I muddied it up a little but no, I don't have any priviledged information.

Why has this event took so long to end up in trial if it took place in 2005? Was the trial delay a due process delay or did the flight attendant just recently decide to sue? If the latter is the case, they should throw it out now. :) Is there not a statute of limitations on these types of lawsuits?
