  Bleep, we already know the Borg's view. Many people on this site have been in the organization or many, many years. We know how the organization works and what it teaches. However, I have always said that for some people the organization caters to some need in them. Some people need to be told what to do, what to say and what to think. If you feel that you are one of those people then by all means go to the other site. That is where you belong. If the thread on witches makes you uncomfortable you have the option to just ignore it. However, freedom of expression is important to this forum and if that freedom somehow is unsettling to you, then you belong at that other site.

  Also, there is no need to make an announcement. You are free to come and go.

  when i was in dub-dom....i used to hate eating out....my ex always made us bow our heads and close our eyes tight shut while he gave thanks out loud.

  did you do that in public??

  or did you do it discreetly with your head bowed but eyes not shut....or.....head in hand...hoping people would think u were in deep thought?

  So Who's Coming To My Barbie This Year?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok all you lucky people, this is the big one!.

  every july, around about the time of my birthday, her ladyship and myself host the barbie to end all barbies.

  fun, frolics and fizz are the order of the day, this is the social event, places are more in demand than tickets to watch england play (that's artistic licence btw), even dub in the pub turned up last year.. originally started 10 years ago to get the local pubs regulars together, i usually invite about 40 from the pub, about 15 little & big hooper's, and i am now throwing open an invitation for about 15 - 20 posters from this site to join in the fun.. the event will, weather permitting, take place on sunday july 21. meet at the waverley pub, severn road, weston - super - mare between 12noon and 3pm.

  Hi Larc, I enjoyed your post. I would like to add that if only Satan could read he would realize his fate. Its all there in black and white.

  Legal Question: How Strong is Barbara's Case?

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a question for the legal beagles out there:.

  since the watchtower thugs have told the press during the dateline repartee that barbara anderson was not being taken to task for her anti-molestation iniitatives, but alleged that she was being tried for ``allegations or serious sins'' unrelated to her activism, how strong a case would she have in court?.

  bear in mind that barbara and the others of the dateline four say they did nothing more than speak for the protection of children and then publicly challenged the wt to publicly state their accusations and evidence, and that they would indemnify them against any charges arising therefrom.. so.... if they call her a sinner, say that her sin has nothing to do with whistle-blowing and is serious enough to merit expulsion -- as serious as adultery or theft, yet refuse to accept her challenge to show the world the basis of their charges if they are held harmless, how is that not libel and therefore actionable?

  Hi Hillary, you're made some excellent points. "Mental cruelty". "psychological damage" they are part and parcel of the same cause of action. I believe that if she can prove (and I believe she can) that the watchtower society set out to intentionally harm her I believe that she can recover damages..

  By the way, I am brand new to the legal world. Sometimes people with good common sense are just as effective as any lawyer I've ever known

  A class action is of course one possibility, but it is cumbersome and unless you are independently wealthy or find a lawyer who can cover expenses for several years you're going to have a problem because court costs can be astromonical.
