![]() A private admonishment is done when the committee finds a judge's conduct does not merit a public hearing but believes it would reflect unfavorably on the office if it became habitual. Kieser was privately admonished for the remarks in October 2005 by the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, said state judiciary spokeswoman Tamara Kendig. "I also indicated that the petitioner's daughter was a sponge," he said. He also told the woman "no tickee, no laundry," a racial slur mocking Chinese laundry services that require a claim ticket before returning clothes, after she failed to provide proof of her daughter's enrollment at the two-year school, Kieser said. of Metuchen admitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee he told a woman seeking payment for her daughter's tuition at Middlesex County College in 2005 that her ex-husband "should not be treated as a cash register, that this is not a free lunch." The weird thing is, the woman is not Asian: Senators scold judge for remarks on child supportīasically, Kieser told the woman, "no tickee, no laundry" after she failed to provide proof of her daughter's college enrollment. ![]() Forsaking Christ and His abiding life within for gold.A few weeks back, a Superior Court judge in New Jersey, Fred Kieser Jr., was criticized by a key Senate committee considering his reappointment to the bench for directing a racial slur at a plaintiff in a child-support case and calling her daughter "a sponge." Still, how many, like Judas, turned away from the chance to live within the life of the Christ because they were enamored with the glitter of gold and silver? “Fool’s gold” may have its true meaning in that sense. Being able to dwell with Christ in our hearts truly is the greatest treasure we can possess. Like Moses, they have forsaken the pleasures of sin in this temporary life to obtain a better inheritance (Heb. They gave up everything they owned to buy that field that held a treasure. and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and ɴᴀκᴇᴅ…” The world would have looked at the Laodicean church and said, “Not THAT’S a church!” but Jesus was standing on the outside of their hearts knocking to see if any would let Him in. The church in Laodicea is an example of people who considered themselves rich and above the rest because they had tasted what the world considers good and successful yet when Jesus confronted them He said, “Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing. It is impossible to have a kingdom without Jesus. As long as they do not realize just how poor they truly are in comparison to Christ, there will be no place for Him in their hearts. Their self-dependence and faith in themselves made them the best in the eyes of the world and the last in the eyes of God. The world’s best and brightest are called last by God. However, within the kingdom of God it is the opposite. The author of Hebrews said of those who the world persecuted and despised because they followed Christ, “men of whom the world was not worthy”. A rich young ruler who the world would consider “rich in spirit” and successful was just after Jesus said, “The last shall be first and the first shall be last”. However, God says they will be last among these. All those who aspire to reach the top in this world – the movers and shakers, the influencers, the popular people, the dramatic as well as the intellectual and talented, the fighters, all these are considered worthy. The world considers those who are feisty, conniving, inspiring, and “on top of their game” as “Blessed”. When we do come to Him, we are blessed in every sense of the word. Until we realize how empty we are, until we realize our need for Him, we will never come to Him. This realization is the first step in coming to Christ. The ones who know and realize they are spiritually bankrupt are those who see. People who are poor in spirit know their need for God.
