  hello folks,.

  let me tell you in advance that this post has no intention of hurting anyone.

  the efforts made by those spearheading the efforts to help vicki are truly commendable.

  *Weeps hysterically*

  Actually Observador, all the points you have made a very good ones. And all of the mistakes you highlighted pretty much resulted out of necessity because the whole letter campaign was put together in literally a few days, using time/people/resources immediately available. It was felt necessary to do it this quickly because the fact is that issues go "off the boil" very quickly.

  However, if someone did want to host the material on a site with a generic url, that would be great. And if anyone wants to translate the material into other languages (esp. Spanish and Italian), also great. Just let us know!

  I was very happy that my results were not too far from Expat's as I think he's a very reasonable, intelligent person.

  Flattery may get you lunch, one of these days.

  Anyway, I found the quiz quite straightforward. All my answers were "yes".

  Might I suggest a chant of "release the pedo-files" .... release the pedo-files ..... release the pedo-files ... while the cameras are rolling.

  Um...you might want some printed placards with that slogan written, for the benefit of the punnily-challenged.

  Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.

  I would just like to explain, as a way of bringing this back to the top, about the "musical gift."

  If you donate $75, you will receive (whether you like it or not) the latest CD by Celine Dion.

  If however, you only donate $50, you will receive the latest 2 CD's by Celine Dion.

  Anyone who doesn't donate will receive Hillary Step's latest CD of bathtime warblings, including "Rubber Ducky, don't look so sad (or I'll crush your beak under my bottom)."

  If that doesn't move you to donate, I don't know what will.

  Watchtower Attorneys Stumped

  by jst2laws in

  today, october 6, in manchester tennessee the court considered the motion to dismiss petitioned by the watchtower bible and tract society in the case of anderson vs watchtower.

  during the hearing for the first time ever the watchtower attorneys were stumped, at a loss for words, silence in the courtroom for what seemed like a 'millennium'.

  stumped...............silent....................

  Hello:

  The Watchtower has before the judge a "MOTION TO DISMISS' this case on the bases of the "ecclesiastical abstention doctrine" and the "First amendment" which they feel bars the court from reviewing internal church action taken against a member for 'spiritual violations'.

  I don't know squat about American law. I am however, aware of a Canadian case in which a person took the WT to court successfully over his disfellowshipping, and I believe the court forced the WT to overturn their own disfellowshipping. The reasoning, as I understand it, was that the WT had not followed their own published procedures.

  Hopefully I should get some stuff on this in the near future.

  Thank you everyone for getting involved in this letter campaign. I'm hoping that everyone's hard work will have some results. I'm sure it will, in fact, because each and every letter and campaign and newspaper report and TV expose' shows the Watch Tower for the destructive and vicious cult it is.

  At the weekend, I'll have a tally, and see if we can't get some rough figures on this thing.

  Thank you again!

  Ha! Groucho!

  Here's another "I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth!"

  That one's Chico. Lenin was quite pissed when he heard it, because he never got to have any fun with the girls.
