W. Glen How & Associates LLP - who are they?

by George One Time in

https://wghow.ca/81/partners-associates.htm.

this law firm seems to exit for the sole purpose of defending the jw organisation.

am i correct?.

OrphanCrow

Yes, you are somewhat correct.

Glen How, now deceased, was a staunch JW who defended the WTS in legal matters on many occasions.

Presently, the Glen How law firm sends lawyers over to Russia and elsewhere to represent the org on international matters.

Glen How was instrumental in establishing the groundwork for the noblood court cases and he was the one who wrote "Religion, Medicine and Law" in 1960. That article can be found several places online but notably, it is found on page 233 in this book/volume here:

Alternatives to Blood Transfusions 1973

*edit to add:

this is a much better copy of his seminal work - "Blood Transfusion: a legal, religious and medical issue"

of which "Religion, Medicine and Law" is just one chapter

Glen How is one person who can be held accountable for countless blood deaths during the last 6+ decades. He established the legal framework for that death dealing doctrine

If mathematics teacher made a mistake, would it mean mathematics itself is wrong!

by venus in

many people point to the irrationality in the depiction of god by the religions and their scriptures, hence jump into the bottomless pit of atheism.

in either camp, god is not a factor because religion is only a means that misrepresents god, hence religionists themselves are atheists (literally, those who live without god).

it is like saying there exists no earth because you found out your friend who taught earth is flat is wrong; or it is like saying mathematics itself is wrong because you found out your mathematics teacher made a mistake.

“The basic rule of the psychic universe is that “like attracts like.” Similarly, “love promotes love,” so that the person who has let go of a lot of inner negativity is surrounded by loving thoughts, loving events, loving people, and loving pets. This phenomenon explains many scriptural quotations and common sayings that have puzzled the intellect, such as, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” and “Those who have, get.” As a general rule, therefore, people who are carrying the consciousness of apathy bring poverty circumstances into their lives, and those with a prosperity consciousness bring abundance into their lives. Because all living things are connected on vibrational energy levels, our basic emotional state is picked up and reacted to by all life forms around us. It is well known that animals can instantly read a person’s basic emotional state. There are experiments demonstrating that even the growth of bacteria is affected by human emotions, and that plants register measurable reactions to our emotional state (Backster, 2003).”
― David R. Hawkins, Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

Trolling? How about plagiarism?

Venus plagiarizes "her" material. She is a thief. She steals ideas and thoughts of others and claims them as her own.

Venus is dishonest as hell

Quest for truth? hahahahahaha

Morpheus - Russia isn't communist.

Modern Russia is not communist. It is a capitalist society.

It may be correct to label Russia "authoritarian" or maybe even "totalitarian" (but I don't think totalitarian is the correct term really).

How long would it take for evolution from black skin to white skin? Thousands of years? Or rather tens thousands of years?

Not that you are even interested in a response to your questions...it is quite apparent that you are focused on calling out only certain posters but...the answer is:

About 3000 years or 150 generations

Bible is good if we look for implied truth

by venus in

thumbs-up gesture doesn’t covey much if we see only four fingers closed and thumb standing upward.

but if we look for the implied meaning, then it is a positive, informal signal indicating a job well done, and saying ‘keep it up.’.

similarly, biblical accounts don’t convey much if we see them as mere accounts.

Dreary: There are a million words in the English vocabulary which a person can use to express himself rather than taking the lazy short cut of using profanities.

Yeah, but none of them are as effective or parsimonious as a simple Fuck Off is.

Fuck Off has a nice ring to it

So does piss off or wank off...but fuck off is more universally understood

Venus, it is your analogy that diverts the subject. YOU diverted the subject by picking a really, really bad analogy. Own your mistake. It is yours.

Zimbabwe has a new President.

by zeb in

i watched the new president taking his oath of office.

well done mr president!.

rather than me repeat his words i suggest you go google and look it up.

OrphanCrow

smiddy3: Mnangagwa was an old crony of Mugabe and implicit in his crimes ,all of Mugabe`s mates still hold office so I don`t see anything is really going to change in Zimbabwe and when the people realise that then what will happen .?

When will the people realize that?

I would say right about...now.

Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe to get $10m payoff and immunity for his family

Robert Mugabe and his wife will receive a “golden handshake” worth many millions of dollars as part of a deal negotiated before the resignation of the ageing autocrat last week. The exact sums to be paid to the former president and his wife Grace are still unclear, though one senior ruling party official with direct knowledge of the agreement said the total would not be less than $10m.
The official said that Mugabe, who has been granted immunity from prosecution and a guarantee that no action will be taken against his family’s extensive business interests, would receive a “cash payment of $5m” immediately, with more paid in coming months.
The 93-year-old’s $150,000 salary will also be paid until his death. The 52-year-old first lady, reviled for her extravagance and greed, will then receive half that amount for the rest of her life.
Mugabe’s 37-year rule left Zimbabwe with a worthless currency, massive debts, an impoverished population and an estimated unemployment rate of more than 80%. Roads are rutted, many rural communities have no electricity, education is basic and healthcare almost non-existent. A life expectancy of 60 is one of the lowest in the world.
The first couple will be able to remain in their sprawling mansion known as the Blue Roof, in Harare. The state will pay for their medical care, domestic staff, security and foreign travel.

Still MS, you really do have an issue with reading into words intentions and information that just simply isn't there.

I think that is called myopic vision or something like that...

Ah, no. Now I remember what it is - it is called ethnocentrism - the bane of all uninformed people

Still MS - your impressions are just that - an impression and that is all it is. Your impressions are meaningless with no substance.

At no time did I call the Western world "evil" - that is YOUR word. And, at NO time did I call Russia "fair and nice". Those are your words.

STOP putting words in my mouth (or, rather - into cyberspace)

All I am trying to do here is open up some eyes and brains for cult thinking/trained people so that they get a bigger picture of the world around them. The world does not revolve around the JWs and their myopic view of the world. The moon doesn't follow them around.
