I saw the post-show called "Talking Bad" with Vince Gilligan, and he confirmed that Walt died in the end...and it was the wound he received at the Nazi house that did him in. I think the final scene in the meth lab was WW's last look at what he thought of as his crowning achievement...I thought they wrapped the show up nicely.

Could rebaptism present a loophole for exiting without being shunned?
by Island Man inthis is how i imagine it can work: the baptized jw first gets the elders to acknowledge in written form that his previous baptism was in fact null and void.
* then later, coming close to baptism - preferably, the day of rebaptism - he changes his mind about being rebaptized (maybe he says no or remains silent when the questions are being asked, with this being video recorded).
so legally, he never was a legitimately baptized jw and therefore should not be anounced as "bro.

Interesting thought, but I doubt it would work...you would still be shunned if you "turned your back" on re-baptism.

Individual Governing Body Members and Lawsuits
by jw07 ini don't know if this has any legal implications:.
since the identities of the individual members of the governing body have been publicly confirmed (not that we didn't know that before) can that open the way for direct lawsuits to be leveled against members?.
for instance are there any laws in the usa that would open the way for geoffrey jackson to be targetted by the lawsuits from child abuse or no blood transfusion deaths?.

It is typical practice in US lawsuits to name EVERYONE, including "John Does"...if nothing else, it forces those individuals to answer the lawsuit. Unfortunately, I suspect that any GB member would get represented by the Legal Department at the WTS. I am not sure who handles and pays for legal defense in cases like the Candace Conti suit...does anyone know?

I would take the IVF discussion a step further...wasn't Mary artificially inseminated to become pregnant with Jesus?
NWT
26 In her* sixth month the angel Ga′bri·el+ was sent forth from God to a city of Gal′i·lee named Naz′a·reth, 27 to a virgin promised in marriage to a man named Joseph of David’s house; and the name of the virgin+ was Mary.*+ 28 And when he went in before her he said: “Good day,+ highly favored one, Jehovah*+ is with you.”+ 29 But she was deeply disturbed at the saying and began to reason out what sort of greeting this might be. 30 So the angel said to her: “Have no fear, Mary, for you have found favor+ with God; 31 and, look! you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son,+ and you are to call his name Jesus.*+ 32 This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High;+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne+ of David his father,+ 33 and he will rule as king over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end of his kingdom.”+ 34 But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am having no intercourse+ with a man?” 35 In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit+ will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.
Obviously, becoming pregnant by means other than intercourse was ok in the case of Mary...food for thought.
If I really want to stretch, wouldn't a woman having a pelvic exam be guilty of "loose conduct" under the WT definition? After all, it is willingly allowing the touching of private parts...and if you get the exam on an annual basis, it would be considered practicing loose conduct...time for a JC!

I had it partially right in my prediction (so I giess I was closer than the WT on their predictions!)...and I like the way it ended even better than my guess! What a fabulous show...the writing was so smart and fresh, and the acting was superb. I can only imagine what a pleasure working on that show must have been!
Now I have to take solace in watching Homeland and Sons of Anarchy...
Good bye Heisenberg...you will be missed!

As abhorent as this is, it certainly is not unique to JW's. No one should be phyiscally or emotionally assaulted for expressing their personal beliefs. Unfortunately, these types of incidents are not unique. Last week, Islamists attacked a Christian church in Pakistan and killed numerous people...just because they were Christians. Yesterday, rebels in Nigeria attacked a college and killed scores of students while they slept in their dorms because this rebel group hates western education. The acting out of violence because "we don't like what you think" is disgusting...and I have no doubt JW's would do the same to apostates if it weren't illegal.

Adam...I would agree with your line of reasonng, except very few adults that I am aware of still believe in Santa or the the Tooth Fairy! The same can't be said of ghosts, spirits, etc...
I do agree, that at some point, reality has to be seperated from fantasy...the timing is the issue. I personally, don't see harm in a little fantasy when the kids are young...as I mentioned before, reality will come crashing in on them soon enough!

Billions of children have grown up with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and other fictional characters. I doubt highly that any have received any long term damage from the chidhood fantasies. In this day and age, children are forced to grow up much faster than we did...let them enjoy the wonders of these fantasy creations. They will be jolted in to realty soon enough!!

CoCo...have you tried Walmart or Target?...they both have $4-$5 generic programs. Not every generic drug is going to fall in to that category, since some generics are quite expensive as well. Check that option out and see if they are more available through those pharmacies.
