Ganley was moaning, making noises, and he had a contorted and disgusting look on his face.
This is the image that pops into my head. No disrespect to Ms. Saccany, if her story is true I hope she nails his balls to the wall. *just sharing*

Switzerland now has a majority of its cabinet members who are female, we in the UK are not close to that yet, like the US. Spain also has a predominantly female cabinet too. David
Thanks for pointing that out, David. Political Empowerment is the main index in the report(s) that skews U.S. rankings, along with Canada and other European nations where women scored tops for Economic Participation and Opportunity, as well as Educational Attainment (U.S. 6 and 1, respectively). Case in point: It really skewed (screwed?) France's rating when they lost a few female politicians earlier this year.
U.S. women are still in the top third for Political Empowerment but have a long way to go. KEY criteria, is that we haven't had even one female Head of State (yet). But bear in mind, Democrats chose to elect a male for president (Obama with very little political experience) over a female (Clinton with quite literally decades of political experience, much of it in the White House!).
Voters across the spectrum rejected Clinton and Palin, both female candidates. To blame gender disparity on "Bible thumping US lawmakers" simply does not address this reality.
It's also interesting (to me) that the U.S. rate for adolescent fertility (teen pregnancy) is 3 times that of Iceland, 4.5 times that of Finland and Norway. IMHO, nothing is dragging women in my beloved country down faster than dropping out of school to bear the brunt of raising fatherless children alone. And that, with NO education and NO marketable job skills.
If you really want to empower women,
• Encourage them to complete High School, and pursue higher education so they have access to well-paying careers regardless of gender
• Educate them to use birth control until they are financially able to support themselves, before even thinking of bearing children
• VOTE for female political candidates.
The TRULY good news I see in these reports, is that women in developing nations are attaining literacy and secondary education at higher rates than ever. Conditions are incrementally improving in much of Asia and Africa. I cannot imagine a better time for women's success than this, the 21st century. And I refuse to see my personal success as another woman's downfall, or vice versa. We are all in this world together.
Lastly, since it''s fairly obvious that the OP and many here chose not to read the report(s) prior to commenting off the cuff on a purely emotional level, here is the link for your perusal:

Is there anything that could actually bring down this farce of a religion?
by stuckinamovement init seems as if they have survived it all.
bad press such as articles on molestations, neutrality, blood, defections of high ranking officials, crazy changes in doctrines, financial stresses, passage of a 100 years without one prophecy coming true.
yet they are still going strong with new members being recruited at a faster level than those who leave.

RICO: Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.
Murder, extortion, bribery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, obstruction of justice, slavery, money laundering and related offenses, aiding aliens, acts of terrorism.
Just the money laundering is enough to nail them. And by "them" I don't mean the Gibbering Buddies, but who or whatever is really running the show.

An unbeliever who has not been receptive to a Bible discussion may listen to Scriptural encouragement when he is in the hospital or encounters serious health problems.
If a divided household experiences a crisis, such as the death of a family member, the elders may invite the unbeliever to sit in when they give comfort to the family.
If the !@#$%^ elders preyed upon my UBM father like this, it's doubtful they'd live long enough to mark their time!

1-year trial starting mid-2011 of a ‘Simplified English’ language WT edition for countries where English is a 2nd language;
if successful, benefits are extended to the translation departments as well as to parents of young children.
Who do they think they're fooling? An (even further) dumbed-down English WT is to attract the least educated and most vulnerable Bible studies cult victims.~Sue

Google translation from a more detailed article:
Mother forbade doctors to save his son
Physicians have a blood transfusion through the courts, but it was too late
Elizabeth Pchelkin - 07.10.2010
Vanya Orlukovich (left) with his younger brother Basil
Investigation Committee of Russia opened a criminal case against 50-year-old Muscovite Lyudmila Orlukovich. The woman, a member of the sect of Jehovah's Witnesses, refused blood transfusion was required for her 10-year-old son. The boy died ...
- A criminal case was filed under Art. 125 of the Criminal Code (leaving at risk) - the official said control TFR in Moscow Sergey Marchenko.
DRIVER die cast CHILD
PE has happened on August 9. Vanya, who was riding a bicycle on a street in Kharkiv West Biryulyovo, hit by a car. The driver fled, leaving his victim dying on the roadside.
Residents near the house called an ambulance and the child was rushed to the hospital. But the boy had lost too much blood, and the list of injuries Vani took a sheet of paper.
- A chance to save your son is! - Urged physicians mom boy. - An urgent need to do a blood transfusion.
But the woman refused medical. Demanded that his son was poured into an artificial blood substitute. It turned out that Ludmilla - a member of a religious movement Jehovah's Witnesses, which, according to some experts, is the sect. "Witnesses," prohibit their supporters to pour someone else's blood, even if the donor - the nearest relative.
The maximum period - ONE YEAR
On artificial blood boy who all this time was in a coma, kept about a week.
- August 16, Vanya developed complications - told "KP" deputy director of the Institute of Emergency Children's Surgery and Traumatology Olga Karasev. - Man-made substitutes can not fully perform the functions of red blood cells. A mother of a boy still refused to accept blood transfusions. Then we turned to the prosecutor of his district.
The case was heard in the Zamoskvoretsky court in Moscow. Ludmila insisted: the child can go to the alternatives. But the court nevertheless decided that the boy preparator blood transfusion contrary to the prohibition of the mother. Alas, it has not helped. August 26 Vanya is dead.
Died from acute cardiovascular failure. And it has evolved from the disruption of almost all vital organs.
Close Vanechka cremated on August 30. By the way, say goodbye to her son Lyudmila did not come. It is said that the house of emotions she felt bad.
Komsomolskaya Pravda was able to call Ludmila.
- My Wani had such terrible injuries that saved him was impossible - the woman says. - And it's not in the artificial blood substitutes. Generally, it's hard to talk about it ... By the way, "ER" came to us only 40 minutes after the tragedy! Is this normal?
Neighbors say that Ludmila filed in the Jehovah's Witnesses are not a good life. Male - drinks, and two older sons have grown hooligans. And often drink with their father.
Now, the woman could face real jail time. The maximum punishment under the article "Leaving in danger" - for one year.
By the way, the driver, who shot down the boy has not yet been found.
EXPERT COMMENT
Paul Crutch, theologian, professor at the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University:
- In traditional Christian denominations there is a balance between the Old and New Testaments. But the religious movement Jehovah's Witnesses focuses specifically on the Old. From there is a ban on blood transfusions. It is believed that the blood - a human soul. And any manipulation of it - under a ban. In all such cases, the Jehovah's Witnesses follow the principle: "All is God's mercy: if you want to - save you, there is not - then it should be."
The activities of Jehovah's Witnesses banned in 30 countries. In Russia the religious organization operates legally. -
