Band on the Run, I have a Mennonite business associate and we were discussing this case yesterday. Like you, we both came to the conclusion that this should have been tried as an 'assault and battery' case along with possible breaking and entering, unlawful entry, terrorizing etc., etc. But the so-called 'religious' aspect of the crime should never have been persued in a 'secular' court.

The Double Life Of A Jehovah's Witness
by minimus inmany jws are hypocrites.
they lie, cheat, swear, get drunk, fool around, etc..... just because someone is a pioneer, or a ministerial servant or an elder--- it means nothing.
some of the "finest examples", are two faced "christians"..

Don't be so generous, new hope and happiness. There are many, many, many Elders that 'drink like a fish', are miserable in their marriage, have unruly children that break the law,married Elders that flirt openly with worldly women when no one is looking, flirt with married women in the congregation, DON'T pay their bills and on and on and on. I know of one Elder that was self employed in my old congregation. The IRS had to SUE him every few years in order to get him to pay his back taxes! How do I know? I would search public records on the computer and see this happening all the time, not just a one time happening. But these same Elders will judge, criticise, shun, counsel, cajole, and disfellowship you for doing the same things that they are guilty of in private. ( I am not foolish enough to think that there is a large number of Elders that are outright fornicators, adulterers or thieves but they push the envelope when they can.)

"Men don't want to reason with you, they want to be right" - Terry Walstrom. And that statement, Terry, succinctly describes a large portion of the people that post here. Thank you.

New tract work for this Fall: MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER WRESTLE! That would be the first prophecy of the Watchtower Society that came true!

Now if Mick Foley and Mr. Socko take a tract I might be persuaded to return to Jehovah's Witnesses!

I was a BETHELITE, ADCMS! And I knew a 'wrestler' there that was an ELDER and he tried to get me to join his team. But I have posted about that episode elsewhere and I don't want to detract from the OP. You are a cool dude ADCMS and I really like your sense of humor! It adds alot to some otherwise droll and insipid comments made on this board.

Very insightful comment AndDon'tCallMeShirley! I was just thinking that posting the Hulks REAL name would not have such an attention grabbing effect. Can you imagine if the caption read: "Here are two sisters out in tract work. A fellow by the name of Terry Bollea gladly accepted a tract from these two fine sisters." Fellow Witnesses would probably be saying under their breath: "Who the HELL is Terry Bollea. He looks just like HULK HOGAN!" (Sorry that I am on a roll but this whole self promotion disgusts me!!!!)

Sorry Ruderedhead but I stand by my fulminations and I will not back track. Plus I don't drink as a rule just a cocktail 2 or 3 times a year! Hahahahahaha............................As a side note and off topic: When I was in Junior High School in the late 1960's I had to tell the Gym Teacher that I could not wrestle in Gym class because it was against my religion.

Shameless 'SELF-PROMOTION' by all three individuals having their picture taken! Has any goddamned stupid publisher posted a photo on instagram of them placing a tract with a starving homeless person dressed in rags and emaciated from hunger? I doubt it. But hey, if Hulk Hogan takes a tract, there must be something to this JW.ORG. (A veiled appeal to authority or at least fame......if it's good enough for Hulk Hogan it's good enough for you.) (No offese to Hulk Hogan. He probably is a nice, affable fellow but he is a wrestler and is IN the self promotion business.)
