  so, you wanna know what the jw's are saying about the decision?

  i wonder if any of them will be willing to help her pay the legal costs?

  originally posted by manoftruegod: forgive my ignorance with law, but what is the principle behind the society asking her to pay for the legal cost?

  Very predictable, and an excellent example of Witness straw-grasping. Of all the parties in the case (Vicki, The Watch Tower, the Elders), the Watch Tower Society was the only one who lost, being found negligent. Quite how being found negligent constitutes not losing the case escapes me.

  Getting worked up about it is a waste of time and energy, however. I firmly believe that the vast majority of Witnesses would offer to hold the Governing Body's coats while they gang-raped an eleven year old, and then join in denigrating the victim afterwards. Convincing them that the Organization is wrong simply can't be done.

  Far better to spend time and energy on things that can be done.

  Hi XJW:

  I guess it could be argued either way about what Mr McGuinty said in that letter.

  However, if he indulges his left wing ideology too much, Mr McGuinty will have two very basic truths hammered home to him:

  1) The "big bad corporations vs. virtuous oppressed proletariat" viewpoint so cherished by liberals (small l) is complete nonsense. Corporations are the geese that lay the golden eggs. Most of the individuals he claims to care about are employed by them. If Mr. McGuinty makes it difficult for corporations to fulfill their only purpose (making money for their owners) by increasing the tax burden overmuch, he will reap the whirlwind when those corporations relocate to more competitive areas leaving Liberal voters unemployed.

  2) The desire and freedom to improve the circumstances of yourself and your family is one of the greatest, most enobling, enriching, and above all, the most progressive characteristics of humanity. If Mr. McGuinty takes away the freedom of people to do this (such as for instance, removing their ability to avoid sending their children to state schools where they are handicapped to the lowest common denominator, instead of having the freedom to pay extra for superior private schools) he will find that nothing alienates faaster the people who actually drive this Province. While the left wing ideology is indeed to take away this freedom entirely, reducing people to abject dependency upon an all-powerful Socialist state that controls everything from birth to grave under the pseudonyms of "welfare" and "social programmes", society has now by and large moved beyond this irresponsible and selfish free-lunch mentality. Mr McGuinty will find it is gone for good, no matter how frantically he sucks at Lenin's teat.

  Anti-Americanism

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how do you define someone as anti-american?

  if you strongly disapprove of, say, america's foreign policies, yet basically have an affection for american people, does this still make you an anti-american?

  is it possible that people are being accused of being anti-american inaccurately?

  Vicki Boer and Donations

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if any of you wish to kindly make donations to vicki boer, we are formulating a vehicle to attend to this as we speak.. we have been in touch with vicki, who is understandably deeply distressed at the turn of events that have forced her to relive much of the trauma which she hoped that this court case would put to rest, and are wresting a plan which would allow her to receive personal donations aimed at her well-being rather than enriching either the wts or her advisers.. an address will be forthcoming shortly, together with a paypal email address which will allow you to send your donations or well-wishes to vicki, scott and the girls.

  it will not be a canadian address or bank account.

  there are a number of important points that any donators would need to assess before donating any cash:.

  As a non-citizen who couldn't vote (yeah yeah I got the forms I just need to kick my own ass and fill 'em in) I'll not complain about the Liberal Party victory. At least it wasn't the NDP!

  My view is pretty much the same as the market, the economists and (very importantly) the international credit agencies: let's see what the Liberals do before reacting. Since Mr McGuinty has promised not to raise taxes, the economy shouldn't go off the rails (if he keeps that promise of course).
