I think the only reason the WTS should probably give these families money is because they were part of the RBC on their way to help discuss WORK matters. Obviously the WTS doesn't give them insurance, but there should be some effort to provide for this family. The fact is, had these men not been on the RBC they would no doubt still be alive. I could also see why paying out wouldn't be a good idea as it might cause some legal problems for past instances like this. That is why they should endorse a fund for the family. Which they might be doing. Who knows?

Can you find the image all Kingdumb Hells have?
by WTWizard inno, kingdumb hells do not have traditional images.
they lack crosses, statues, and other symbols that most christian churches have.
however, they do have an image.

In my neck of the woods the symbol is usually in the signage facing the street.

I agree... In the end the decision is left up the individual immediate families or whoever is the executer of the estate. Despite how we might feel, the happiness of the family is what really matters. Might they need a trial by fire? Sure. Might they be just as happy (sad) as someone with a regular service? Sure. So who cares? Ah and as soon as I finished this The Byrds "Turn! Turn! Turn!" came on my media player. Not making it up I swear!

I know this isn't done much but in defense of the WTS it could just be simpler to donate to the Kingdom Hall and allow the elders to allocate the money to the family. Really why go through the trouble of creating accounts and funds when everything you need is right there? Not saying they are actually doing this for that reason but it would seem that is probably the case. I am sure the families are going to get tons from other wittinesses so a percentage will no doubt be donated back to the Society. In this case why not? If they are spear heading a fund for these families and the families are HAPPY (which is all that matters in this case) with a infomercial service why would it be bad to donate a little back? We won't really know I guess, unless there is someone in the know.

Burgertime: making and innocent animal, be it a dog, a rooster or whatever, fight, is barbaric. It does not compare to hunting (though I'm not crazy about that either). And just because something is "normal" in certain circles it does not make it OK.
Never said I felt it was OK. I just think that it's crap to judge him as this horrible person when people do just as barbaric things and not get the grief he does. What about PETA? IT is well documented they actually STEAL people's animals and euthinize them. It happend about 2 years ago, and I hardly heard any outcry about it. So now PETA makes this huge campaign to smear Vick when they are guilty of the same creulty. For me personaly it does EQUAL hunting. That's the great thing about being human is you can have YOUR OWN morals. Vick has his morals. They obviously are not legal, but if you want change you can't make snap judgements. You must understand where his mind set is at. I will take my Burger now.

I get off saying it because I live in the south, and have had to work beside the redneckiest of the rednecky. I admit I was generalizing awfully bad, but still hunting for SPORT is very acceptable and looked upon in a positive light. Killing for sport with a gun is no different then letting a dog kill another dog. Or electrocuting it or drowning it. It's still KILLING for SPORT. Just watch the latest edition of Real Sports, though it is across the US it is most popular here in the south.

Bullshit. Based on what? She defended Ted Dansen when he pulled the black face stunt outraging the NAACP.

Meeting unknown ex dubs for first time
by greendawn ini personally haven't met any ex jws for many years now, but if you happened to meet one you never met before what's the interaction like?
is there a sense of identity and solidarity due to a common past or no special chemistry going on?
would you pursue a friendship with such a person?

I met one at work, and every since then we have a bit of a unique connection. We both looked and interacted with each other a lot differently.

What a flipping joke. Why should she apologize...for free speech? Oh for her taking a side not liked by you guys? Whatever, I think I love Whoopie for showing courage.
