  Witnesses and the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

  i'm researching a piece on the witnesses, as an ex born in witness now writer, and would really appreciate any thoughts.. as most of you all know the witnesses rely heavily on article 20 of the above act - everyone has the right to peaceful assembly and association.

  but they also contravene several other articles of the act with their policy of disfellowshipping, causing mental distress to people who leave, they split up the family - a protected unit- and don't allow members to vote or to partake in national service, things protected by the act.

  here's the link to the act, read it though and see if you can spot things witnesses aren't allowed to do that every human should be allowed to do freely - .

  so i'm minding my own business at mcdonald's, reading bonnie zieman's book.. i was sorely tempted to read it at the adjacent table.. would have liked a co-hort to video the subsequent emergency evacuation.. .

  .

  by the way, this was one of the nicest november saturdays ever, and they're wasting this precious time fraternizing.

  oz branch coordinator terrence o'brien opined a number of times at about 1:00:00 until about 1:15:00 of his testimony, that a dub does not need to da, they can become "inactive.".

  i sent our beloved angus stewart my personal experience, as well as observations about official borg teachings.

  Congo Members, By-laws

  reading an old post.. not sure if it varies from state to state.. some jurisdictions require organizations (congregations, etc.

  ) to have by-laws that readily available, and also to maintain an up-to-date membership list, readily viewable by any member.

  (readily - not kept at the secretary's house, but available at the hall after the meeting.).
