RIP Nora Ephron

thank you for your remarkable contributions, awesome humor, wit and sensitivity in the cinema.

you were a ground-breaking female director, and intuitively knew as a writer how to entertain people, make people laugh, make people cry and give people joy.

no one but you could make guys love "chick movies" when they really aren't wired to do that!.

The Humbling of Anthony

i didn’t really care for anthony very much.

at the time of this story he was 13 or 14 years old, a clever and precocious kid down the hall.

he was extremely zealous about the truth and took it, and himself, very seriously.

UK law changed to allow prosecution of those who stay silent over child abuse
by MMXIV in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
the domestic violence, crime and victims (amendment) act 2012 comes into force on monday in england and wales to allow prosecution for those who stay silent over a child's serious physical abuse.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18638734.

whilst this law was put in place to stop a loophole whereby those who commit child murder claim it was someone else while they just remained silent, this now makes those who do not take steps to stop the abuse equally guilty.. elders who do not take steps to stop or report the serious abuse of minors could face prosecution and 10 years in prison.

it may no longer be good enough to tell the abused or abusers it's their right to go to authorities (per the 2010 elders manual) they now need to take action.. whether criminal prosecutions are brought against elders who masquerade as police, judge, jury and social workers whilst not themselves reporting abuse of a minor will remain to be seen, however the law now exists to make it possible.. any jw child who comes to serious harm where the elders knew about it should ask themselves - could i have stopped this by telling the police?
