seems like such an obviously correct decision to overturn the previous overreach - it should never have been necessary to go to the supreme court but happened because the rights of the religious were being ignored.. as the fundamental level, no one should be able to compel you to work for them or to provide services that go against your beliefs, and certainly not have the government be able to force you to comply.. if this was allowed there would be so many unreconcilable situations that would clog up courts over nonsense.. i also have little patience for these activists that intentionally look to be offended.
it really doesn't do their cause any good to go round looking to make trouble for people.
it's also misguided because it ends up strengthening religious rights over effectively stupid issues.. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html.
The media and talk shows everywhere had a virtue signalling field day with this story, going full on "homophobe" shaming mode at the time. It became the go-to example of the essence of true homophobia that's been a running "meme" ever since.
What will they say now?
geoff jackson speaking at a france dedication:.
then he said (i'm quoting him best i can remember, but you'll get the idea): "imagine if next week i go back to us and you see in the news that the whole gb was arrested for no reason.
how'd you react?
Strangely specific scenarios he presents.
Usual fear/propaganda mongering or could there be an element of forewarning?
They cry wolf so many times it's hard to tell.

So has WT granted you access to their library/records/archives including Russell's personal notes etc for your research?
senor samuel david (1866-1955).
citoyen américain, samuel d. senor était cultivé et instruit dans le domaine médical.
a partir de 1887, il réalisa des études de médecine, à st joseph, dans l‘etat du missouri.
it was in some book for young people that i found going through the watchtower library when i was doing research for old publications, i cannot believe this lunacy, i feel so bad for the teenagers at the time who had to try to take this seriously, but they’re not a high control religion or cult though, anyways here is is : .
if you sleep in a room alone and you find that you seem to feel special stress in this direction at night, you may be able to arrange matters to share a room with another member of your family.
also, you may find it helpful to sleep on your side rather than on your back or face down.. 18 another thing that may be helpful is to see to it that your clothing does not unnecessarily cause friction with the sexual organs.
TD - then my work here is done. You're welcome.

V - Just wondering did WTBTS inherit all of Russell's stuff when he died?
Pardon my ignorance btw.
I'm just amazed at how little you have to write and how little sense it needs to make to get people to comment.
I definitely say too much... hmmm maybe that's why I'm mostly ignored I make too much sense lol😃
okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.
they reduced printing of mags.
they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.
I could see them devising a way to wangle a sub fee somehow and calling it something else.

They have been obsessed with genitals for long time.
Can't sleep? Genitals.
Stresed? Gentitals.
Clothing doesn't fit right? Genitals.
Feeling lonely? Genitals.
Can't pray? Genitals.
Unhappy? Gentitals...
As Yul Brenner would say et cetera et cetera et cetera
