Why did God kill children?
by brotherdan inthe atheists and bible deniers love to talk about how hateful and murderous god is.
i suggest the following.
i believe that the children that were killed in warfare by the israelites were taken to heaven with god.

The fact the explanation is used for terrorists to blow people to bits should sound the warning bells.
Exactly.
"God ALLAH knew that if the children of false worshipers INFIDELS and enemies of the Israellites MUSLIMS were allowed to grow up, blah blah blah
… he reasoned in his suicide note. Later that day, he strapped a homemade bomb to his chest that would blow up a Christian daycare center. More news at 11."

Russia: Deaths result in religious controversy
by behemot indeaths result in religious controversyby vladimir kozlov at 14/10/2010 20:11two tragic events have attracted public attention to the way the jehovahs witnesses denomination operates in russia.
while members of the group allege discrimination by the government, many russians, including religion experts, are hostile to the sect, believing it to be a totalitarian cult rather than a legitimate religious movement.. last sunday, a newborn died in central moscow in the wake of a home birth gone wrong, ria novosti reported.
media reports claim that the mother, who was taken to hospital with severe bleeding, is a jehovahs witness.

Ilya's mother did allow blood substitutes, but it's not clear if he did receive any.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/200047/1/Moscow-JW-charged-over-refusal-to-allow-her-11-y-o-son-to-receive-a-transfusion“The woman in question [in the home birth situation] had nothing to do with Jehovah’s Witnesses,”
So was she disfellowshipped, a brainwashed "study", or a hapless relative of a JW whose family refused treatment for her?

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.
