Although I stand by my suggestion that those who have a smart phone invest in a VR headset, I just knew when I started this thread the posts would be interesting and it's turning out that way. I also had a feeling that certain posters would have a lot of fun with the subject and I'm certainly not disappointed.

I can only recommend that our community not put off buying a headset, maybe a very cheap one, if you have a smart phone, just in case there is a story or stories coming out using VR technology that you might be interested in. That's all I can say right now. (A cryptic message, I know!)

“Virtual Reality! It’s amazing! It’s terrifying! It’s the future! Nothing will ever be the same!” said The Huffington Post.

Headsets range in price from $1.99 to hundreds of dollars. Remember the old adage, "You get what you pay for!" though. As a suggestion, the Google Cardboard for $15.00, or two for $25.00 with free shipping is a good headset to start off with. (No, I don’t own Google stock!)

OK I have had it with our Creator, "A booze gene".

If not a "booze gene" what about alcohol addiction being a "chronic disease of the brain"? In an article I wrote that I posted on my website, “Why Did Jehovah’s Witnesses Ignore Princes Drug Additions,” I said,
According to the Surgeon General of the United States, addiction is a “chronic disease of the brain” that has, for far too long, been treated as a “moral failure, a character flaw.” This is exactly how Jehovah’s Witnesses have shamefully handled these cases by simply ignoring the realities and “disfellowship” members who suffer from addictions.

Over the course of about six decades, more than 1,000 members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses were accused of sexually abusing Australian children, according to a new report. Victims were ordered to keep quiet. Not one of the alleged perpetrators were reported to the police.
Now, a royal commission in Australia has found the church demonstrated a “serious failure” to protect children from the risk of sexual abuse and relied on outdated policies and practices to respond to such allegations.
A 107-page-long report released Monday detailed a number of ancient policies that exhibited what the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse referred to as a “serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse.”
One such practice, derived from scripture, requires church elders investigating incidents to secure a confession from the person accused or the testimony of two “credible” witnesses to the same incident, two witnesses to separate incidents of the same kind, or strong circumstantial evidence testified to by at least two witnesses. The accuser also has to justify his or her allegations to church elders, often in front of the alleged perpetrator.
The commission’s findings were based on a close examination of the allegations — which averaged one a month for 65 years and were recorded in sealed files along with the church’s responses — along with the findings of a 2015 public hearing.
The report found that the Jehovah’s Witness organization’s internal system for responding to complaints of child sexual abuse was not child or survivor focused, “in that it is presided over by males and offers a survivor little or no choice about how their complaint is addressed.” READ MORE

"Scientologists demand A&E Network pull former disciple Leah Remini’s exposé from air"
"Leah’s lawyer is demanding the $1.5 million as “compensation for the past, present and ongoing reputational, emotional and economic injuries and damages (Leah has) suffered."
"A spokesman for the church responded to Leah’s lawyer — calling the demand for compensation “nothing more than a provocative ploy to generate publicity for what will no doubt be another failed program by a failed ‘celebrity’ seeking to make a buck off of her former religion.”
“The Church will freely exercise its constitutional rights,” the spokesman added."

jehovah's witnesses use of 2,000-year-old protocols when dealing with abuse complaints has been condemned in a report by the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. last year, the commission examined the experiences of two abuse survivors within the jehovah's witness organisation.. it also looked at evidence from case files that recorded reports or complaints of abuse by just over 1,000 jehovah's witnesses.

"Leah Remini’s anti-Scientology documentary on A&E is scorching. It airs Tuesday night the 29th at 10pm. Remini explains her trajectory as a teen member of the cult, what happened to her family, how she left and wrote her book which was published earlier this year.
"But wait– Remini started getting so many messages from trapped and ex members of the cult that she decided to start filming them. And the result is pretty damn scary. In the first episode she gets former celebrity wrangler Amy Scobee on tape and the interview is a wowzer. Scobee admits that she was in charge of making sure Tom Cruise was completely isolated in the cult. All of the people who worked in Cruise’s house were Scientologists and he was constantly under surveillance."
BTW, the documentary aired on A&E today and one XJW told me, "Different penalties, but same strategy as all cults including Watchtower"
