saskatchewan survivors of sexual violence can now access two hours of free advice from a lawyer.
Oh wow.
That post didn't turn out at all like I had made it
Sorry...I tried to post a part of the article and a photo of somebody showed up instead
The program is open to anyone who has experienced incidents like sexual assault, exploitation and harassment as well as historical sexual abuse.
A police report isn't required, nor are there age or gender restrictions. However, the sexual violence had to have happened in Saskatchewan.

Canadian law is no different, Morph.
Innocent until proven guilty

Morph: Crow, if there is not search warrant than you cant break into someones home and search no matter what you think you “know”.
There is a process.
I realize that. I am not unaware of the process
And the process is playing out.
My point was that if an accused holds evidence, then they cannot be proved guilty until that evidence is revealed
How that plays out is dependent upon jurisdictional laws
Getting a search warrant isn't fool proof. There was a JW abuse case in Canada (2005) where the "evidence" was collected from congregation files by a search warrant and that evidence was considered inadmissible. Case dismissed

Bobby; he has stolen merchandise
It's locked up. Nobody can access it.
People know about it but I don't have the key to the place it is locked up in. I can't prove it.
The thief has the evidence and nobody can get to it.
Now what?

Bobby: If he’s a thief that has stolen merchandise in his possession, then he’s not innocent, is he?
Prove it
If you can't prove that he has that stolen merchandise - he is innocent

Bobby: Because there is a fundamental principle that governs all civilized societies; INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty.
The presumption is always that of innocence.
Well, that is handy
The one being accused holds the "proof" and they won't let that "evidence" be accessible.
Good gig if you can land it.
That would be like the thief who locks up all his stolen merchandise and then jumps up and down saying "I am innocent!"
the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.
i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.
next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.
The org has no shame
Two social issues in the news this past year and they use that to promote their cult
Pfffttt...the metoo movement and school bullying
As though being inside the org offers a solution. Huh. One of the most dangerous places for a woman is inside the JW cult and I don't even want to talk about why school bullying has been in people's minds this past year

Shirley: what's up with foreign JWs and the measles?
I don't think it is just JWs.
Measles has spiked dramatically in European countries:
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-43125242
Europe has seen a big surge in measles cases in 2017, which the World Health Organization says is a tragedy after a record low of 5,273 cases in 2016.
Cases increased four-fold, with more than 20,000 people affected and 35 deaths.
Fifteen European region countries, including the UK, had large outbreaks. Measles cases were highest in Romania, Italy and Ukraine.
People shunning vaccination is part of the problem, say experts.
Although research published 20 years ago about a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism has been discredited, the scare it created damaged some people's trust of the vaccine.
Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be deadly.
The MMR vaccine can prevent it.
