Sources say they will also be charged in three more burglaries, including a rape at the Westlake Apartments.<br /><br />The suspects are Larry Taylor, Jalen Watson and Diano Gordan.<br /><br />Watson and Gordon are in custody being held on parole violations. Taylor, who was previously taken into custody and released, was re-arrested Sunday night at a relative’s home, according to police. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-61222386820619975102015-11-22T20:59:22.098-05:002015-11-22T20:59:22.098-05:00I have to disagree because I know first hand.

I attend NewSpring and we are taught that becoming a Christian means giving every part of your life to Christ, repent (which means to turn away from), and be obedient to God. We know that God loves us and will forgive our sins. We also know that God will allow consequences for our wrongdoings and at the same time He is merciful. All things work together for our good. With that being said, no where in any of that is it ok to murder someone. God forgives out repentant hearts but allows us to pay for our mistakes. He himself isn't the one punishing us but he won't always save us from it. <br />After reading the analysis, I'm convinced that he is somehow involved or at least free from a marriage he no longer wanted.

Thank you!<br /><br />"Thank you for understanding my desire to take these next few days to continue to grieve for Amanda Grace. My focus right now is to let The Lord minister to my heart as I continue to shepherd little Weston’s. I’ll be taking this time to focus on being a great follower of Jesus, dad, family member, and pastor <b>to our growing church</b>."<br /><br />His use of her given and middle name is this statement is distancing, unless he regularly called her Amanda Grace across the board in most/all settings. It is reminiscent of the language of a parent rebuking a disobedient/wayward child.<br /><br />You also made me realize that Davey prioritizes what is most important to him in this statement. More importantly to me, in stating his intention to grieve her, he then defines what grieving Amanda Grace is to him.<br /><b>"I’ll be taking this time to focus on being a great follower of Jesus, dad, family member, and pastor to our growing church</b>."<br /><br />What is his definition of "great"? Was he not a "great" follower of Jesus prior to Amanda's death? Or was he not able to focus? Is he going to be a great follower of dad and family member to? ;) Was he not a dad or family member before Amanda's death? Or was he not a "great" dad before Amanda's death? Was he not a "great" family member before Amanda's death? How does grieving a wife make one a "great" follower of Jesus or better at any of the other responsibilities he lists?<br /><br />How will a few days off make him so much more? I'm concerned for Weston because per Davey's twitter, Gavin's twitter (best friend an brother-in-law), and James' twitter, Davey enjoys following his teams,going to games, golfing, trips, hosting Life Group, daily early morning workouts, ongoing additional church activities/outreaches, church planning sessions, running, and more. When, where,and how is a 15 month old going to fit into this lifestyle? That lifestyle was only possible <b>because of Amanda</b>. This is the guy who's planning to "dialog" with his 15 month old, remember?Foolsfeedonfollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-44133851428079304622015-11-22T16:44:12.377-05:002015-11-22T16:44:12.377-05:00Foolsfeedonfolly - I don't like Davey either, ...Foolsfeedonfolly - I don't like Davey either, so i don't trust myself to be objective - still, that's not shutting me up, (oh dear.). Maybe they will look in here and take your advice re Ephesians - some things should not be sacrificed to the cause of being somehow more 'relevant' and 'authentic', as they see it. <br /><br />It's interesting you should say it was like a newlywed first year counselling issue - I thought, from watching it they were quite newly married, just long enough to have had the baby - it was a surprise to later learn they were in their seventh year of marriage, and had been a couple for ten years. It must have been a miserable marriage - I think you have summed it up accurately. I only feel for Amanda. If Davey is a sex addict, and if that's a real condition, I suppose he should have sympathy too, as it led to unhappiness for them both - but I don't know if it's a real condition, or just a fashionable excuse and means of accounting for unreasonable and selfish behaviour. Not that Davey has claimed he is a sex-addict, it just seems from his obsession with the subject, and from the Internet monitoring, that he might be - if there's such a condition. They sought counselling - in that environment, Amanda was probably counselled to make more effort to please her husband - poor girl. <br /> Julietnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-88621735296340482962015-11-22T15:21:23.767-05:002015-11-22T15:21:23.767-05:00I'm fearful that LE is not looking into DB...c...I'm fearful that LE is not looking into DB...collecting cell phone data, emails, polygraph, etc. Just because DB was at the gym during the murder , doesn't mean it's case closed forr him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-74611035351207870742015-11-22T15:00:57.791-05:002015-11-22T15:00:57.791-05:00I think he went to where he was most comfortable f...I think he went to where he was most comfortable for his grief trip.

He'd have to have live-in child care, I'd think.<br /><br />The thieves robbed a house which was vacant a lot of the time. I guess they could have seen him leave and decided to take a chance-actually makes no sense to me. If you saw a young guy leaving, you could safely assume that he has a wife still in the house, so...and would you have a handy gun and be suddenly into murder mode, when before you were just robbing a particular house where you know nobody's home?Lynn123https://www.blogger.com/profile/10646957135027805050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-12239202435568047202015-11-22T14:38:55.423-05:002015-11-22T14:38:55.423-05:00To Anon 1:41.

I'd bet my entire life savings he has a toy on the side, I can't say whether that toy is male or female or both, but one thing I am certain of, Davey was not faithful in his marriage. Yes this is speculation on my part, but I feel very strongly that Davey has gotten away with more than just the usual marriage flaws. I believe Davey was so in love with Davey that he doesn't realize all the mistakes he has made and continues to make.

I do not like Davey. I find his "preaching" offensive because he clearly either doesn't know or doesn't think it applies to him (Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but thanksgiving.) Actually all of Ephesians 5:3-10, Perry Noble, Davey Blackburn, NewSpring, and Resonate need to read. Davey & Perry are familiar enough with Ephesians 5:22-32 (Submission of wives) to pervert it- using their wives for sex like prostitutes sans pay. It's never o.k. to demand your needs be met at her expense. Considerate husbands have little trouble in the bedroom. Correctly taught, Husbands meet her needs first and she'll gladly meet yours= win-win. By the same token, wives have an equal responsibility to consider their husbands.<br /><br />The most telling thing about that to me is that this is usually a "newlywed-first year" counseling issue...and they were going on 7. Based on the Q & A videos and that Train Station trash Davey was "preaching", Amanda was trying really hard to save her marriage. She was giving 110% and she may have been putting on a good front, but there's no way she wasn't feeling like a prostitute minus the pay. I believe she was really struggling and knew that this was not the way marriage was supposed to be, especially given Davey's browsing history. She loved her children, their congregation, and Indy and was committed to sharing Jesus. Davey,just loved the adulation of the crowd. She was caught, as another perceptive poster already said, between trying to live out her faith, her marriage vows, and he reality of who Davey is. Just my own opinion.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Foolsfeedonfollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-48352996733403885512015-11-22T11:24:13.332-05:002015-11-22T11:24:13.332-05:00Thanks Jen OwThanks Jen OwGeekRadnoreply@blogger.com
