In a press conference early this morning, James A Traficants (D - OH) toupee announced that it will relinquish its position (effective immediately) due to the impending incarceration of the aforementioned Traficant.
The toupee further stated that it has enjoyed a lofty association with Traficant for many years but that legal authorities have forced the departure. Rumors of an appeal abound, but informed sources are convinced that the toupee doesnt have a pate to stand on.

It might be too soon to think about, but.
by BB inid like to see them bulldoze the kingdom hall in daffenville and erect a memorial park in tribute to all silent lambs.
they could possibly have a wall or plaque with the names of the silent lambs.
it could be thought of as a place for reflection, healing, and new beginnings.

Who should shoulder the majority of the blame?
by BB inthe obvious thing that has everyones attention now is the fact that the society (and by extension, local congregations) blatantly shelters wrongdoers (under the two witness rule) while at the same time, banishing those who attempt to bring the acts of these persons to light.. could it be, that the strict interpretation of biblical guidelines severely restricts the movement of local elders as to how they are able to address these issues?
even if they wanted to think out of the box or take a more liberal hand at bringing these wrongdoers (child abusers, pedophiles) to justice, (and at the same time possibly take a more protective attitude toward the innocent accusers), does the society really allow that much latitude or independent decision making to be exercised by local congregation officials?
mind you, im not excusing the culpability of the local congregation elders.

I guess what I’m really asking is; who should shoulder most of the blame in these cases, the local congregations or the society?

She “Got any interest in seeing the new “Star Wars” movie?”
He “Only if you can promise me that the sissy-looking kid in the promos turns into Darth-Fucking-Vader by the end of the second reel”
She “What’s your problem, it’s not like this is my favorite movie genre?”
He “Hey, I watch those “chick flick” movies” too! Didn’t I bawl like an orphaned baby when we watched “My Dog Skip” together on DVD?”She “Yeah, Mr. Sensitive!”
He “Besides, “Phantom Menace” left me kind of limp”
She “I thought you loved anything ‘Star Wars!’”
He “Don’t you remember? We waited to go see it until we’d thought the crowds had died down at the theater?”
She “Yeah, so?”
He “So, there were only three people at the showing we went to, and we were two of them!”
She “Oh yeah, I forgot”
He “Besides, there was that geeky, annoying, “Jar Jar Binks” character, a poor
“Chewbacca” substitute if you ask me.”
She “Who’s Chewbacca?”He “He was the tall, hairy, best-buddy of Hans Solo in the earlier episodes.” “You remember, we had that car, years ago, that when it rained or the humidity was just right and you put the drivers side window up and down it made a sound just like Chewbacca.” “I got wet a lot of times trying to replicate that sound.” “Gawd, I miss that car!”
She “Wait a minute…you mean you have no interest in seeing this new movie because this Chewbacca person…”
He “He wasn’t a person”
She “Don’t interrupt!”
She “This Chewbacca whatever, was a better buddy than some other ridiculous character in some stupid science fiction movie and the only way you could imitate the sound that he/it made…I’m assuming here for the moment that this poor creature wasn’t blessed with vocal cords or couldn’t speak for some other reason… was to put the window up and down in the driving rain in an automobile that we owned more than twenty years ago?”
He “See!” “Look who’s calling who insensitive, now!” “Ha!”

He's got the gold mine, she gets the shaft
by BB intodays edition of usa today reveals that until recently, south africas powerful mining industry offered women two lines of work; secretarial or prostitution.
but, the countrys new constitution has paved the way for them to actually work in the mines, alongside the men, for the same pay.. i imagine that the women in south africa have got to be pretty thrilled with the prospect of a third alternative.. i wouldnt be at all surprised to see future news releases along these lines.... mattel announced today its plans to release a new mining barbie, said to be targeted at pre-teen, south african girls.
a spokesperson for the california based toy manufacturer said this completes a series of three dolls released for this particular market.

Today’s edition of “USA TODAY” reveals that “until recently, South Africa’s powerful mining industry offered women two lines of work; secretarial or prostitution. But, the country’s new constitution has paved the way for them to actually work in the mines, alongside the men, for the same pay.”
I imagine that the women in South Africa have got to be pretty thrilled with the prospect of a third alternative.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see future news releases along these lines…
“Mattel announced today it’s plans to release a new “Mining Barbie”, said to be targeted at pre-teen, South African girls.” “A spokesperson for the California based toy manufacturer said “this completes a series of three dolls released for this particular market.”
“Prostitute Barbie” and “Secretary Barbie” have already done extremely well and have likewise received critical acclaim from government officials.” “We are ramping up production now for the new “Mining Barbie” doll in anticipation of expected demand.”
“Mattel offered “no comment” on previously released “Aids Barbie” or “Single Mother With Seventeen Children Barbie” both of which experienced fewer than anticipated sales.”
Apart from the above, I have a personal concern that women who work two jobs and are having their “shafts mined” while engaged in deep mining operations, receive double pay coupled with hazardous-duty compensation.

Personal Statement
by BB ini offered the following personal statement on another board and after a few favorable nods, thought it might bear broader scrutiny.... notice to jehovahs witnesses.
i will not accept literature nor permit myself to engage in conversation with anyone who supports a religious organization or the governing leaders of an organization who, defend, condone, protect, or turn a blind eye toward suspected, known or convicted child-molesters or pedophiles.
furthermore, i consider any and all who associate, support or promote such an organization to be as guilty (by association), as the criminals so zealously and fervently protected and insulated by their leaders.

How are you? I’d heard you weren’t feeling well. Hope you are better. Glad you are still posting. Your (story) is still the only post (other than a few of my own) that Debbie has ever read.

Notice to Jehovah’s Witnesses
I will not accept literature nor permit myself to engage in conversation with anyone who supports a religious organization or the governing leaders of an organization who, defend, condone, protect, or turn a blind eye toward suspected, known or convicted child-molesters or pedophiles.
Furthermore, I consider any and all who associate, support or promote such an organization to be as guilty (by association), as the criminals so zealously and fervently protected and insulated by their leaders.
In addition, I would wholeheartedly support any class-action suit demanding reparations in partial payment from rank and file Jehovah’s Witnesses for the egregious treatment, pain and suffering of the truly innocent who have endured so hideously at the hands of those entrusted with their care, and the society, who through their complicity and silence have effectively sheltered those guilty of unfathomable horrors.
To me, you are no better than the homeland Germans of World War II who stood silently and idly by while their leaders allowed the concentration camps to flourish and work their evil under the cover of secrecy.
Kindly remove yourself from my property.
Signed,
Uninterested and thoroughly disgusted householder
