Hi Mouthy!!! After tonight, I have a little more faith in our justice system. May cool heads continue to prevail in the following days, and may we all remember that we are all humans and we need to stick together and learn from each other even though we may not always agree with each other.

My Father was a Cop, but he quit when he became a JW. There was another JW Cop that we knew from another cong, and there was a big scandal when he had to kill someone. People talked about it for quite some time.
I have another family member who is still a Cop in Lake Mary, FL. which is a bedroom community of Sanford. I have been privy to a lot of details that have gone on in the Zimmerman affair from the very beginning. If people only knew how the Government helped arrange this whole ordeal to escalate, they would be even more upset than they already are. I tried telling everyone from the very beginning that there is more going on than meets the eye with the way the MSM twisted things and flat out lied and that we should wait to get all details before passing judgement, but it went over like a lead balloon and I was accused of being things that I am not.
I hope your Husband stays safe, there's a lot of bad people out there.

That's so sad. I ran the article through Google translate and have quoted below for you...
http://www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2013/05/28/news/conchita_corigliano-59832419/
At the behest of the family, inside and outside the Sports Hall of Corigliano, there is a picture of Fabiana. Are not allowed photographers or teleoperators. So they want the Jehovah's Witnesses faith professed at home Luzzi. If there are no images, funerals there are thousands of people, more than 5 thousand. Why Fabiana, since last Friday, is no longer the exclusive property of his family and his religion. His story of 16 year old girl just, stabbed more than 20 times and given to the flames alive by David, 17 year old boyfriend, broke the heart of a community, but to an entire nation. Fabiana, the most fragile flower crumbled by daily violence to which we can not and do not have to get used to. Violence against women. White balloons for Fabiana. The coffin arrives at the Palace on a hearse escorted by two police car. The coffin is white, like the roses that cover it. Whites are balloons in the shape of heart that the friends of Fabiana free in heaven, along with those in the form of letters of the alphabet, to compose his name in heaven: Fabiana. Once inside the structure, the coffin is placed on the floor, at the center of the playing field. All around, a few chairs for the parents and three sisters fabiana, excruciating pain and yet composed, comforted by the embrace of the stands packed. "Fabiana loved life, his family and many friends among the Jehovah's Witnesses and other contexts. There are no words to explain. At 16, Fabiana came fails and there are so many people, in addition to family members, who feel the his absence, "the memory of the girl in the words of the minister of Jehovah's Witnesses Salvatore Chiappetta. A Corigliano is also the Minister for Equal Opportunities, Sport and Youth Policy. The story of Fabiana, hailed forever on a blue wooden floors where you play basketball and volleyball, ironically, it touches all three powers of the minister, who now launches his message.
The Minister Ditto: "I feel I have to ask for forgiveness." "With my presence at the funeral of Fabiana - says Josefa Idem - first of all I want to be close to the family to witness the pain of all Italians and Italian for this loss so tragic and absurd. I wish the parents, relatives and friends Fabiana do not feel alone in their despair, but above all that they perceived that the whole country is close to them, baffled by this latest episode of violence, all the more serious because it perpetrated on a girl of only sixteen years since a boy not much bigger than her. Faced with the disappearance of Fabiana reiterate the commitment of the entire government and the Ministry led by me to make the fight against gender violence a key-point of this legislature. " "I'll be Corigliano - continued the minister - just as the Chamber of Deputies'll be voting for the ratification of the Istanbul Convention against violence against women. This ratification, which I consider a duty to effectively combat gender-based violence, it soothes the sense of anguish that grips me thinking about the broken life of this girl, but also to all women victims of femicide. I feel I must apologize to you and to all women, killed at the hands of those who abuse the word 'love.' The State must ensure a more effective its commitment, be even closer to the victims, and now, just starting from the ratification of the Convention, go to concrete policy actions. " Validated the arrest of David. During the funeral oration, comes the news: validated the arrest of David, appeared in the morning before the President of the Juvenile Court of Catanzaro, Luciano Found, and Rita pm Tartaglia. He is accused of aggravated murder. The boy will be brought in the Institute juvenile criminal. The defendants, John Zagarese and Antonio Pucci, who produced the documentation attesting to the good performance of the school of David. The boy asks to continue studying. Meanwhile, in Corigliano output of the coffin from the Arena is accompanied by a long applause. And they are also dozens of white doves released into the sky. At the home of Fabiana. Before moving to the sports hall, home-Luzzi, flowers and wreaths covered the coffin and completely transformed this house into a shrine, while the whole family dressed in mourning, father mother and three daughters, all in black but treated even when switched off, as it takes to be worthy final farewell. It is the hardest time of posting, today is the last trip of Fabiana Luzzi from his home in Corigliano, he goes to the cemetery. Fabiana is now all the others, too. A name that belongs as much to the alarm of the national cowardly violence against women, as the thirst for redemption of Calabria with this little state, the sacrifice of a few and the ferocity still justified in some circles. A house remained for two days and two nights with the door open to let in - or out - the shock too great to bear. And a defeat that speaks to everyone. Thousands of people at the funeral, the coffin of Fabiana carried in procession over a mile and a half from his companions, friends from the dance (which was his "first and true passion" before the teenage love). A country rallied. And the country - after a sleepless night due also to the examination of the results of administrative, leading to the common ballot already torn apart by years of joints and especially precarious for dissolution of mafia infiltration - already in the early hours of the morning begins to quiver, call to gathering a crowd of children but to adults, teachers, principals, even the old men are coming down the narrow streets of the old town, perched on a half-mile below the ducal castle, where they live in only 6 thousand compared to 50 thousand who have moved down , on the Plain, and where Fabiana was only one of many teenagers with the computer always on and the room full of hearts and pictures of her to dance essays and friends half-agonists in Italy with which be written on facebook. A wire sliced ??from a horror movie. Dad: "We have all lost a daughter." But shortly before the funeral, Mario and Rosa, the mother and the father of Fabiana, cling to the willpower and, while blankly, still respond to every hug, every word, in every cry of the atria arriving . Mario says a former mayor shaken, Armando, who was also a professor of his older daughters: "We all have lost a daughter. And because of just one. Because of one, you know." There is no hate, but the anger yes. Although Mario, this parent tried since the tragic death of his first wife, then by the violence of 'ndrine who punished him with a fire in the shop for saying no to his extortionists, today is going to head up in front of the greatest pain. "To lose a daughter like that, you can not ever explain ... We'll never get anywhere." In addition to the sentence of justice, "but without discounts", of course. It seems that there has been a very tough call between mother Fabiana, Pink, and that of David. "Why did he do? What was in your head? What happened to him?", He asked Rosa. Questions to which no one can answer. David, no one had figured it out. And now everyone, too many, they point the family situation of David. A tacit separation now between the parents but lived under the same roof, a father cassintegrati, in company construction of some relatives, who struggled to rebuild its facilities. A framework is not happy, yet common to many other nuclei, perhaps to become a good alibi or throw the blame to others. "What is certain is that the fire that devoured the boy no one has seen or could intercept it in its real size and danger," said Isabella, a psychologist who is angry to think "nothing works as it should from us. Where were the services Social, where he was also the state following a complaint from a father who had said that this guy had beaten his daughter? ". Even teachers of David, Institute for Surveyors "Falcone e Borsellino", seem to have lost. "Yes, we are the school that had a monster within without realizing it. But had followed him, he was a guy with a good performance, which only once, a few months ago, he had lost the pitcher and slapped a mate. But the principal was very strict 45-day suspension, after which David is back, with his mother in tears, he apologized to his companion and family to him. seemed serene. And we, later, we welcomed back some. We know we can not have a cell shutting up those who make mistakes? We are a school. We are, we should be a civil society. And we, how could we expect? ".

JW Grammar is...
by jw07 in*we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.
with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.
i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.

I never fault a JW or EX-JW for bad grammar. Since higher learning is frowned upon, many JW's don't have the skills that many in the "World" have, and I feel that it is very unfair to fault them because of it. The fault should be placed at the top where the rules are made, namely the Watchtower and the Governing Booby-heads.

Damn, That is really sad. What a cute little chubby cheeked girl. I feel bad for her parents and family, even though they probably believe that she will be resurrected soon. I hate seeing innocent people getting hurt and killed. I hope they catch the people responsible and that they are brought to justice soon. Drive by's seem to be happening more frequently, killing a lot innocent people.

The original video in the OP is no longer there, but I found a copy of the video and poem on Youtube. Here it is for those who want to see and hear, but be warned that you will need something to wipe the tears from your eyes. My heart hurts when I think about these horrors that are thrust upon innocent people on a daily basis.
And here's a link to another thread which discusses the book that came out last year for Muslims about beating and controlling their wives.

They had liver and onions on the day that I was invited to eat lunch at Bethel. It was so gross. Of all the different foods that are on this Earth, they had to serve one of the meals that I hate the most. As if the gagging Spiritual Food I had to endure most of my life weren't enough. I should have considered the liver meal an Omen, tucked tail, and ran in the opposite direction as fast as my legs could carry me, but instead I sent them a letter of appreciation for my tour and meal along with a contribution for the "Worldwide Work".x2
