  here are the wolves at blackpool zoo, the wolves i did my dissertation on.. they're iberian wolves - a population of grey wolves that are native to spain and portugal.

  the iberian wolf is smaller and darker than the wolves found in canada or the us.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmnjgoxviii .

  does anyone remember the book paradise lost to paradise regained?

  i was made to study the scary parts evertime i misbehaved which must have been all the time as the book imprinted into my brain.all i wanted in life as a child was to join the girl guides go hang out at the ywca with my friends and take part in sports day at school.so my mother asked the then congregation servant if i was demonized,they decided i would be fertalizer for my mothers pear tree.

  anyway i grew up fairly normal,took me ages not to be afraid of lightning.had children who never entered a kingdom hall.most of my family served in some capacity at bethel so they dont talk to me.since then i have been a searcher looking for somthing to fill the void.has anyone found anything??

  Jeff: I 'd be surprised if there are any big

  stories in the buyers, for them it's just a another transaction

  Why?

  That is an assumption

  We don't know that

  We don't know who the buyers are

  Has anyone investigated who the buyers were/are?

  Some of the buyers listed are really vague. Some are foreign and they seem to be set up specifically for a single purchase on a single property.

  The money trail goes both ways. Who is next in line on the profit train?

  Confused and angry - yes.

  The quack notions of animal magnetism is deeply rooted in WT lore. For all we know, the Abrams electric box is still in use by the Muppets at the top.

  Gio: I think they got off lightly.

  Probably. However, this part of their sentence could be excruciatingly painful for them:

  The family members will also have to attend counselling to teach them critical thinking and reasoning skills.

  Whoever is so unlucky as to draw this family as part of their counselling session is going to have quite the job on their hands. Their counselor deserves extra pay.

  tiki: Poor lost souls....looking for a magical release from human realities....and obviously poor coping skills...why they were attracted to a bizarre religion and quacky "health" pursuits......

  The JWs live inside a fictionalized world. What they did in this situation made perfect sense to them - they embraced their fiction and acted it out.

  We all have that ability - the ability to suspend our disbelief. We all do it - whenever we engage in watching a movie, reading a novel, etc. However, it isn't healthy to not know the difference between fantasy and fact.

  This group of people engaged in unhealthy mental gymnastics. They suspended their disbelief to the extreme. By adding a physical deprivation to an already potent mix - religious belief and quack medical belief (both pseudo concepts) - it allowed them to enter wholly into the fantastical world.

  They mixed their "drugs". Religion and quack medicine. A dangerous mix.

  *to add - The judge should have put them all on three meals a day. Fasting alone can bring on a delusional state. Ask any good pagan about the need to "ground" with food and fluids after engaging in ritual!
