Funny how the FBI can blow the head off an unarmed reclusive fanatic lady at Ruby Ridge and lay seige to the Branch Dividians' compound...yet the courts can do nothing?

Legal Question: How Strong is Barbara's Case?
by Room 215 ina question for the legal beagles out there:.
since the watchtower thugs have told the press during the dateline repartee that barbara anderson was not being taken to task for her anti-molestation iniitatives, but alleged that she was being tried for ``allegations or serious sins'' unrelated to her activism, how strong a case would she have in court?.
bear in mind that barbara and the others of the dateline four say they did nothing more than speak for the protection of children and then publicly challenged the wt to publicly state their accusations and evidence, and that they would indemnify them against any charges arising therefrom.. so.... if they call her a sinner, say that her sin has nothing to do with whistle-blowing and is serious enough to merit expulsion -- as serious as adultery or theft, yet refuse to accept her challenge to show the world the basis of their charges if they are held harmless, how is that not libel and therefore actionable?

The 11 bible versions I searched, by the way, use phrases such as 'peace and safety', 'peaceful and secure', 'peace and surety', etc. in 1 Thessalonians 5:3.
The WT seems to have a monopoly on 'peace and security'. I do not intend to grasp at straws, but I must ask, 'why?' Part II should tell whether my claim is substantial.

THE MEDIEVAL / WT WORLD VIEW
by ChiChiMama ini just started reading the book 'the celestine prophecy.
" i'd like to share a little excerpt with you that is asking us to imagine what the medieval world view" was like and while you read this see if you find it familiar to what we are experiencing as a result of "watchtower's world view".. every place you see the word churchmen", try inserting the word "governing body or "faithful and discrete slave.
it is very interesting to see that history repeats itself in various ways and also just how behind the times the wt organization really is.

"The word of the Lord you have spoken is good," Hezekiah replied. For he thought, "Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?"
(Whole Chapter: 2 Kings 20 In context: 2 Kings 20:18-20) Psalm 122:7
May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
(Whole Chapter: Psalm 122 In context: Psalm 122:6-8) Isaiah 39:8
"The word of the Lord you have spoken is good," Hezekiah replied. For he thought, "There will be peace and security in my lifetime."
(Whole Chapter: Isaiah 39 In context: Isaiah 39:7-9) Jeremiah 30:10
" 'So do not fear, O Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, O Israel,' declares the Lord . 'I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.
(Whole Chapter: Jeremiah 30 In context: Jeremiah 30:9-11) Jeremiah 33:6
" 'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.
(Whole Chapter: Jeremiah 33 In context: Jeremiah 33:5-7) Jeremiah 46:27
"Do not fear, O Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, O Israel. I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.
(Whole Chapter: Jeremiah 46 In context: Jeremiah 46:26-28) Peace and security is not such a bad concept, is it? More to come on this topic -

The best excuse I can think of for that would be:
The doctor suspected some strange infection so he/she asked for a picture every day for a week to watch for changes, rather than a doctor visit every day. But of course, the doc would probably keep the pictures. What an off the wall example... but what this shows is that there is most likely NO good reason!
The really weird thing is that they were kept in a photo album. Have not other visitors to their home seen these pictures?

IT HAS been said
that by reading the Watchtower and Awake! magazinesWho said it?
Probably not 'a scientist', as the Awake! is always discrediting those nerdy bastards. Haha...isn't it funny how an unsubstantiated claim is given more weight by the WT than a reasonable opinion from an educated and sincere professional?

I get the feeling that the character Bleep is somebody's perverted fantasy. If so, it is hilarious! If not, it is still hilarious!

Be A Hero!!!!!
by cellomould inin the last few months, quite a few movies have inspired americans to want to be heroes.
it almost seems uncanny, coming in the wake of 9-11. a good example is the sum of all fears: .
but, after watching spiderman recently, i noticed that i was not alone in feeling a sense of awe and courage.

Don't you just hate selfishness and greed? I sure do.
The ushers at movie theaters are usually under 20 or over 50. We shall assume the older ones are set in their ways. But as concerns the young people, what message does it send them when they are forced to clean up after everyone? In general, the patrons are more privileged (at least at the theaters I attend) than the ushers. Should not the patrons also be more wise and compassionate?
If you want the respect of people you consider 'below' you, you should respect them. And besides that, you are helping to create a new generation of apathetic boobs. What will happen when these apathetic boobs become the middle class majority of tomorrow?
Thanks much for your replies Prisca and Jeff.
