to funny nice job....
fyi, if you feel that scientology's tax-exempt status should be revoked, you can sign a white house petition to revoke its tax-exempt status at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/revoke-scientologys-tax-exempt-status.. i signed the petition even though i have mixed feelings about this petition.
i would prefer that dangerous cults like scientology be reformed by suspending its tax-exempt status until it makes needed changes and i do not like targeting a specific organization when the whole system should be changed.
on the other hand this type of action may help to promote debate about revising the tax codes in the us.. i do prefer revising the tax code like i wrote about in revise tax code to protect children from sexual abuse .. peace be with you and everyone, who you love,.

I wonder how the government asserted itself to the Mormons, that they simply can't have more than one wife (though their religion taught it was okay, even good), so the government reinforced would not let the Utahans become a state? If the government could assert itself on that, it should be able to assert the law about abuse protection on behalf of the children!
look at paragraph 15 of the 2015 july 15th study edition pg 18-19.. http://imgur.com/3wparys.

basically they admit to teaching the rapture (for the anointed remnant), just don't call it that!.

lawsuit seeks $10.5 million from hillsboro church, watchtower society .
attorneys for a 40-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man who say they were sexually abused nearly 30 years ago by a church elder in hillsboro want to have a lawsuit filed by the pair last fall placed back in state court jurisdiction.
On March 25, defendant Watchtower — the corporate head of the Jehovah’s Witnesses — filed a “notice of removal” in Multnomah County Circuit Court to have the case processed in federal district court, where it is presently pending.
When can cases be switched from a state case to federal? With Watchtower requesting it to go to Federal, they must think it would go better for them? Are there so many 'state' cases as such against them, that they are making a "Federal Case" out of it?
"bellows falls >> the attorney representing the bellows falls congregation of jehovah's witnesses and the new york-based headquarters of the jehovah's witness faith in a case of alleged sexual abuse said a judge's partial granting of a motion to dismiss makes him confident the entire case will get dismissed.. pietro lynn, of lynn, lynn & blackman in burlington, told the reformer that u.s. district court judge j. garvan murtha decided it was appropriate to dismiss certain legal theories raised by annessa lewis, who is suing the bellows falls congregation and the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc., which she claims ignored reports that she and her sister were sexually abused by a congregation member more than 20 years ago.".
news article.
here is a thread covering this story:.
his attorneys are also trying to have the case dismissed on the technicality that the two sisters may have waited too long to file a legal complaint. If they waited longer than six years past their 18th birthday, they may not be able to seek legal relief.
Horrible if this get dismissed on the 'technicality.' I wonder, shouldn't the ages of the two sisters have been established & documented already by the attorney of the two sisters right from the start because of this age/timing issue? Looks like the girls can not be over 24 years old now then? Zalkin shows to be involved in this case. He has been so successful in other "pedophile" cases.
im not an attorney and i could not record the hearing, so please forgive me if i make mistakes in relating what i remember of the oral argument hearing for jane doe (i.e., candace conti) versus the watchtower bible & tract society on january 14, 2015 and the length of this post.. i arrived at the civic center/union plaza in san francisco, ca about 7:30. the area is very nice with a few homeless people sleeping in the park across from the courthouse.
it took me about 10 minutes to find the clerks office for the court on the first floor, which opened at 8:00.. once the clerks office opened, the two clerks who i talked with were very polite and helpful.
the arguments for jane doe (i.e., candace conti) versus the watchtower bible & tract society were scheduled 5th out of (i think) 8. while i was in the office a cameraman and another person for nbc arrived asking about the hearing for candace contis case.. the courtroom for the 1st appellate court is on the 4th floor and takes up most of that floor.
I understand that a "decision" may generally be done within 90 days after oral arguments submitted.

Of course, there could be exception. So, maybe within a couple weeks?? Then, petitions can happen within 30 days. Site shows California Supreme Court, grants only 4 to 5 percent of cases petition for review.

i'm sure many of us have seen the local design construction video for elders that was leaked on youtube.
i saw a few seconds of it and was going to the library to download it, but at that point it was taken offline.
now, a heavily edited version is on jw broadcasting.
