The courtroom was packed. The jury deliberated, they delivered the verdict - GUILTY. The judge then gave the sentence. He leveled the harshest fine possible against his friend. The crowd gasped in amazement. But then everyone watched in wonder as the judge stood, took off his robe, walked around the bar and extended his hand to his friend.

The Closing Arguments
You will either go to Heaven or Hell. So what do have to loose…. Choose with caution, it may be your only chance.
