I would like to research that
Are you able to provide some names of those "amazing scientists"?
jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.
we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.
but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.
I am not hateful
Hate would imply that I care about your feelings
I don't
wow, this is awesome.
this really shows the jw passiveness towards child sex abusers.
there needs to be more of this exposing this!.
That is interesting, rebelfighter
It appears like the laws concerning sex offenders going door to door are being put in place in more and more places.
Lol! That could very well be an influencing factor in the recent change to cart witnessing instead of door to door work. The JW prison program, AKA the Pedophile Paradise Rehabilitation Program, has been very effective and now those sex offenders that have been having Bible Studies in jail are getting released. There are too many sex offenders in the JW workforce that are restricted from going door to door and the carts let the sex offenders still put in their time
wow, this is awesome.

Huh...I just thought of something
How does this affect the JW's facebook pages and such?
In addition, the public will now have limited access to email addresses and online screen names of registered sex offenders, a law aimed at helping parents keep their children away from possible predators when they play video games or participate in other online activities.

rebelfighter: my opinion is they do not belong in field service
There are lots of people who share your opinion, rebelfighter.
Lousiana has recently passed new laws concerning the door to door activities of sex offenders:
SEX OFFENDERS
Convicted sex offenders in Louisiana won’t be able to solicit door to door for any kind of business, adding to a long list of restrictions that prohibit registered sex offenders from driving a bus or taxi or working in an industry that requires going into someone’s home.
Violators of the door-to-door sales ban will face prison sentences from five to 10 years.
In addition, the public will now have limited access to email addresses and online screen names of registered sex offenders, a law aimed at helping parents keep their children away from possible predators when they play video games or participate in other online activities.
And, according to Texas:
http://www.tml.org/legal_pdf/PeddlersQAUpdated-09%202010.pdf
Q: May cities prohibit sex offenders from receiving a peddler, solicitor, or
canvasser license?
A: Probably so. A general law city possesses those powers and privileges that the
State expressly confers upon it. Tex. Dep’t of Transp. v. City of Sunset Valley, 146
S.W.3d 637, 645 (Tex. 2004); Op. Tex. Atty. Gen. No. GA-0526 (2007). General law
cities have been granted specific authority to “license, tax, suppress, prevent, or otherwise regulate” peddlers, which should include preventing a sex offender from receiving a peddler license. TEX. LOC. GOV’T CODE § 215.031. Additionally, both general law and home rule cities have been granted broad authority by the State’s police power for the protection of the public, which should authorize the prohibition of sex offenders receiving peddler, solicitor, or canvasser licenses. TEX. LOC. GOV’T CODE §§ 54.001, 54.004; City of Dallas v. Smith, 107 S.W.2d 872, 874-75 (1937). The Legislature has not, with “unmistakable clarity,” preempted the licensing of sex offenders as peddlers, solicitors, or canvassers from a home rule city’s broad powers. See Op. Tex. Atty. Gen. No. GA-0526 (2007); Dallas Merchant’s & Concessionaire’s Ass’n v. City of Dallas, 852 S.W.2d 489, 491 (Tex. 1993).Similar reasoning suggests that Texas cities may protect residents by
prohibiting sex offenders from receiving licenses that permit close contact with the
public, especially on private property.The Supreme Court also noted that the ordinance was founded on fact. North Carolina’s Legislature had formally found that “sex offenders often pose a high risk of engaging in sex offenses even after being released from incarceration or commitment and that protection of the public from sex offenders is of paramount governmental interest.” Id., citing N.C. GEN. STAT.. § 14-208.5 (2007). The North Carolina Supreme Court also cited a report that stated “released sex offenders are four times more likely to be rearrested for subsequent sex crimes than other released offenders.” Id., citing Patrick A. Langan, et al., U.S. Dep't of Justice, Recidivism of Sex Offenders Released from Prison in 1994, at 1 (2003). The danger of sex offenders has also been discussed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Conn. Dep't of Pub. Safety v. Doe, 538 U.S. 1, 4 (2003); McKune v. Lile, 536 U.S. 24, 32-
33 (2002) (plurality).

wasanelderonce: Obviously they don't use the records to any practical effect
I can think of a practical use for such records.
Records like that would give whoever held them a tremendous amount of power over the ones named in the records. Hell...if someone's name was on there...maybe someone who has a prominent position...that person would sure have to toe the line
Records that reveal criminal behavior are a powerful tool in the hands of power junkies
*think: criminal syndicates...how do they control the guys who play front line? They hold dirt on them...they hold power over them. The front line guys have to be loyal. Loyalty or their ass is toast
