And yup, a pretty good result for the Tractor Boys, considering their recent form.

Judge Bans Shunning
by Farkel intoday i spoke with a former jw i've been in touch with for several years and discovered what i think could be a major bombshell for the wts.
as we all know, shunning is the most powerful weapon the wt cult has over its members and for decades the wts has been able to get away with practicing it at their whim.
the us and other courts have permitted them to to use it, even though it destroys families and has ruined countless lives.

Wow! This is brilliant!
Farkel, please scan and post as much as you have on this. Is this case going to go any further e.g. to Supreme Courts for appealing etc. or is this the final result?
Thanks for posting it, you've made my day!

How the West sacrifices the rest
by expatbrit insometimes you can only shake your head:us blocks cheap drugs agreement.
the united states has blocked an international agreement to allow poor countries to buy cheap drugs.
one-hundred and forty-three countries stood on the same ground, we were hoping to make that unanimous.

Would I be correct in thinking that you agree more with the philosophy of John Locke, as opposed to that of Thomas Hobbes?

Hi Vee:
I am (can you stand the excitement?) an accountant, with a professional qualification from the UK. I work in this field in my own business for other businesses and for non-profit clients. My training and my work both involve some economics as well as accounting.
I have a general interest in politics and how society works, and since I left the JW's with their ideas I've done a bit of reading in this area, though I'm certainly not an expert.
Like most people (including everyone commenting with different ideas on this thread), I want what's best for me, but I also want others to have what's best for them, too.

A fair and just society is one where people are able to act in their own "enlightened self-interest" and potentially make a profit doing so. It's the job of the government to make sure that everybody can do this without hindrance, and to protect the rights of the individual. It is not the job of government to fix prices or to interfere in the market.
A good definition, except that the only function of commercial enterprise is to make a profit for the enterprises's owner. This is an exercise in brutal self-interest i.e. the objective must be achieved even at the cost of others. Sometimes others may be benefitted, but whether or not they are is irrelevant.
Governments are there to promote enlightened self-interest i.e. the selective sacrifice of personal self-interest (or freedoms) for the greater benefit of the society as a whole.
Sometimes these two can be in harmony. But they are fundamentally different, hence the conflict.

A fair and just society: one in which the freedoms of any one inhabitant do not encroach upon the freedoms of any other inhabitant.
"Utopia" I hear you cry. Yes, it is. We'll never achieve it. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to get as close as possible, though.
