i was a cop (mainly a detective) for 30 years and thought of this after mentioning the sparlock video during the jw fs visit today.
And so, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I put it to you that the elements of the offence are satisfied and that Caleb's mother is - at least prima facie - guilty of theft.
Judge - What say you?
Jury - Guilty as charged and WE HATE CALEB'S MOTHER!

what misery hast thou thrust into my tortured night.
my sweated pillow is witness to the sleepless sight, .
that, dark and moonless sky, brings no reprieve from gloom, .
OH WITNESS CART
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
What misery hast thou thrust into my tortured night.
My sweated pillow is witness to the sleepless sight,
That, dark and moonless sky, brings no reprieve from gloom,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
Pray yonder door open wide and end my gloom
Pray sun to rise and speed your
rolling flight,
Pray thine wheels roll straight to my street,
Pray you make my life complete,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
What boundless ecstasy this beating heart knows,
For joyous time, whence ends your track,
Once again I taste and drink from the
Blessed fruit of your shiny and tender rack.
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
Why do I hover like bird of prey,
Cursing sun, speeding across yonder sky,
Why does bright sunlight give way to darkened clouds,
When your sacred wheels again to horizon roll,
Such a loss again suffers my tormented soul,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
A dagger through mine heart,
When again disappears your wheels and frame,
And each night brings pain, the same,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.

The amazing thing is that the only people that cannot download are elders, CO's, DO's, included. So the whole world can review this video and get every word straight EXCEPT the elders. At least they can never admit to it.

as i understand reza alsan's explanation of our view of history vs the ancients, the ancients were not so committed to recording accurate facts as recording ideas which, reza aslan stated , would be their understanding of truth.
it appears many have been quick to accept reza aslan's comments as having great weight.
he is a convincing speaker, i think mainly, because he believes what he says.
Village Idiot :
Thank-you for your comments.

As I understand Reza Alsan's explanation of our view of history vs the ancients, the ancients were not so committed to recording accurate facts as recording ideas which, Reza Aslan stated , would be their understanding of truth. It appears many have been quick to accept Reza Aslan's comments as having great weight. He is a convincing speaker, I think mainly, because he believes what he says. Many here have, in the past, given convincing arguments to support subjects they now reject.
My questions are the following:
Why has accepted evidence shown that the ancients were so fastidious in making accurate records if the idea was the important thing? Why meticulous recording of events as they were handed down generation after generation?
I direct attention to comments regarding the Dead Sea Scrolls as a contribution to this topic.
After years of careful study, it has been concluded that the Dead Sea Scrolls give substantial confirmation that our Old Testament has been accurately preserved. The scrolls were found to be almost identical with the Masoretic text. Hebrew Scholar Millar Burrows writes, “It is a matter of wonder that through something like one thousand years the text underwent so little alteration. As I said in my first article on the scroll, ‘Herein lies its chief importance, supporting the fidelity of the Masoretic tradition.'”{6}
A significant comparison study was conducted with the Isaiah Scroll written around 100 B.C. that was found among the Dead Sea documents and the book of Isaiah found in the Masoretic text. After much research, scholars found that the two texts were practically identical. Most variants were minor spelling differences, and none affected the meaning of the text.
One of the most respected Old Testament scholars, the late Gleason Archer, examined the two Isaiah scrolls found in Cave 1 and wrote, “Even though the two copies of Isaiah discovered in Qumran Cave 1 near the Dead Sea in 1947 were a thousand years earlier than the oldest dated manuscript previously known (A.D. 980), they proved to be word for word identical with our standard Hebrew Bible in more than 95 percent of the text. The five percent of variation consisted chiefly of obvious slips of the pen and variations in spelling.”{7}
Despite the thousand year gap, scholars found the Masoretic Text and Dead Sea Scrolls to be nearly identical. The Dead Sea Scrolls provide valuable evidence that the Old Testament had been accurately and carefully preserved.
