  This was discussed a few days ago:
  

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6466677172600832/watchtower-requests-sexual-abuse-suit-dismissed

  of interest in the report is:

  The allegations were also reported to the Vermont Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Social Services Division in 1997, and True submitted to a polygraph test administered by a detective from the Vermont State Police, which True passed. As a result, no charges were filed.

  There are other threads here regarding this:

  It appears that the work-around is to click on the tab 'Latest' at the top

  This resets the cookie and it should all work OK

  The problem appears to be the newly introduced 'Hottest' tab

  Which means the other work-around is, just don't use the 'Hottest' tab, I don't

  Incredible cover of book published in 1932

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, i am reading through the book the watchtower and the masons by fritz spring meier which i am finding a fascinating read; and discovered that judge rutherford published the book 'cause of death'.

  what is incredible is the book cover.

  the book was published in 1932 which would have been a little bit more eye catching back then.

  Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB

  by konceptual99 in

  1. social
  2. physical

  can't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.

  given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.

  i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

  The aim is quite simple: to ensure Great Britain becomes the first home nation to deliver more medals at the following away Games.

  At London 2012, Team GB won 65 medals (of which 29 where GOLD).
  
  
  

  UK Sport, which determines how public funds raised via the national lottery and tax are allocated to elite-level sport, has pledged almost £350m to Olympic and Paralympic sports between 2013 and 2017 – up 11% on the run-up to London 2012.

  Those sports that have fuelled the rise in Britain’s medal-table positions over the past eight years – athletics, boxing and cycling, for example – were rewarded with increased investment.

  Sports that failed to hit their 2012 medal target – including crowd-pleasers such as wrestling, table tennis and volleyball – either had their funding reduced or cut altogether

  So far, on average, each GB medal at the Rio Olympics has cost £5.5m in investment
  

  (golf, rugby sevens and tennis received no funding)
