Janay Rice and God's Plan
December 1, 2014 at 2:28 pm
IANMTU. Read the rest at BET.COM
Three days after Ray Rice won his appeal and was reinstated to the NFL on Friday, an emotional interview with his wife Janay Rice aired on NBC's "Today Show" on Monday morning.
With tears in her eyes and her mother beside her, Janay relived the painful February incident, in which her then-fiancée knocked her out with a punch inside a hotel elevator, and its painful aftermath, which she described as "a horrible nightmare." She feels like she and her husband were "chosen" to bring awareness on domestic violence and that's something that they're at peace with.
"I feel like God chose me and Ray for a reason and it was definitely to bring awareness to what people are going through every day," Janay told NBC's Matt Lauer. "You know it’s not what I am going through every day but you know it’s definitely brought this topic to the forefront...and we are okay with that."
Janay might want to consider hiring out as a Mormon apologist, she certainly has a gift that otherwise will go to waste.

She should be happy, he didn't stone her. Knocking her out seems in perfect accordance with husband/wife relationship in the old book.

What else can you tell Janay after she gets 2 black eyes ??
Nothing, Ray has already told her twice.

I will never understand the mentality of women like that.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

She's definitely in a unique position-- she might actually have more concussions than her football-player husband.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

what's to understand? for a 4 million dollar pay check I would be willing to be knocked out in an elevator a couple times a year myself.

Ah but she could divorce him and sue him for a substantial portion of that now and have the money without future concussions.
Besides, I've seen a number of women with poor husbands behave the same way. I really don't get it.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Yeah, I know my share too. And to tell the truth, I have a very hard time to still respect them. I know it's unfair, since it's a psychological condition, but human reason takes the back door when they show up again with bruises and blame them on their own behaviour.
