I was sure it was true all along but it has been upsetting to know he has admitted it. I loved his comedy and let my kids listen to it. People just use others , esp in the arts ( tv, movies, music etc). As bad as Cosby is, remember Roman Polanski ? Ba*tard drugs rapes ( in it's many forms) a 13 yrs old girl and all he got was - he can't come back to the usa. He can make movies that are shown in usa, but just can't come back. Hollywood also does not generally shun him. Unbelievable.

Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?
by Simon init seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.
i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

Please vaccinate your children
by Viviane inand remember your boosters as adults!.
currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.
vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.

The Huffington Post has an interesting article on this subject.
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/lawrence-solomon/california-vaccine_b_5953264.html
I recall in the late 50's when I started school my mom debated a lot about vaccines. I am very grateful my Dad told her to forget the crazy jws stuff and get shots.

Is the Org Putting Elders in the Firing Line?
by The Searcher inin view of the conti verdict of negligence by the org, are elders who are selected by the c.o.
now in a precarious position?
"charity trustees face potential liabilities in a number of ways.

Yes they are. The elders are the managers of the KH, and if a crime happens at the KH and the police are called, they will want to speak to them. There are many situations that call for someone at the KH to be in charge and who else is going to be but the BOE? The WTS should back them up legally and not leave them to hang out to dry. However, I bet they will.
Not everything that could occur at the KH is within the realm of something the elders could reasonably expect to anticipate-- but a lot is. This is why the shepherds should know the appearance of their flock. . This calls for real work by the elders to know those who attend and anticpate problems. They want special respect, they have to earn it.
There have been fights, medical emergencies and shootings at the KH and other churches too. The elders are not bouncers or cops but sometimes they may have to remove disorderly person(s) or get involved and call an ambulance.
As to the field service, any elder after the Conti case who allows a child or teen to work with anyone but their parents is just up to the job of elder.

The Confederate Flag
by Simon inthe latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.
he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.
not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

My family both sides were out picking cotton with the slaves and never owned anyone. Speak for your self.
to add and quote a wise person
Political correctness will never satisfy everyone because there is no stopping point. What happened in Carolina was so wrong and changing a flag or a movie will not change the small minds of people that have hatred in their hearts on either side.

I am sickened by the PC nutty stuff I am hearing on TV. It will never be enough, never , until the white man is the enslaved by the black man. Then it will be called even..
Everyone has lost their mind.

Seriously , you do need therapy. I am not saying that as a put down. I had to go through years of therapy to help me figure out why my life was so messed up by the WTS. Please give it some thought. You could start with your family doctor and ask for a referral to someone . It is worth the time .
