in view of the statements below by the wtbts hierarchy, how on earth can u.s. supreme court judges possibly be conned into accepting jw lawyers' claim/defence of clergy-penitent privilege in the $35m lawsuit?.
if you don't have a clergy, how can you have clergy-penitent privilege?
has no one in the u.s.a. pointed out to the judiciary that they're being duped?.
I watched an interview with Zalkin on Cedar's channel this morning, and he said WT will lose this. He said you can't bring a new argument to the USSC that hasn't been argued in each of the courts before appealing to the Federal court. It is just not the way it works.
I think this is going to be fun to watch.

Beautifully written essay by Amber Scorah. Her words ring so very true.
were you so indoctrinated that you just couldn’t leave?
was it due to family pressure?
was it your friendships that you didn’t want to lose?
I didn't think I was strong enough to live well without my family and friends, therefore I wasn't strong enough.
If I had left when some of my friends did I know now I would have been fine. If I had only trusted in myself more. Outside the religion others said I could do it. I did not believe them.
Just stupid.

Wow. And they'll save a ton of ice cream money on flights since it's right there in their home town state!
so the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?
possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?
it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.
They need standing lessons for their cart work.
^^^ HIGH-larious!!!
there really is no privacy if you own alexa.
there is a report of alexa hearing a couple having sex.
.
Oh hell no.
Edited to add: Hell no to Alexa or anything like that.
used to be a regular on board.
enjoyed the comments.
anyone know ?.
I adore Talesin as well. She was already off FB by the time I saw her post saying she would be back. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to chat with her.
Okay I found her post and it was 6/16, she was at online at the library. And yes she hoped to be back online in the fall.
how much do you think it cost to set this up?.
.
Fancy set up!
I think they would draw more people instead of in with a giant blown up picture of horseback ridin' Jesus in the cape along with all the horseback ridin' looking like Kenny Rogers 144,000 thousand! I mean, what a conversation starter!
I was just thinking, I always see a cart in the baggage claim area of LAX. But flying in and out of Reno last week, I didn't see them at the airport. The baggage claim has all the rental car agencies, and hotel info. No desolate blank wall for the JW's to stand by.

She popped into FB a few weeks ago. I believe she has been without internet access. She said to look for her in the fall.
