from tfa:.

"aside from a 25,000 fine (reduced from the 100,000 originally sought by the government), the new defamation act gives the authorities the power to stage raids on publishers: the courts may now issue a warrant authorising the police to enter, using reasonable force, premises where they have grounds for believing there are copies of blasphemous statements.".

From TFA:

"Aside from a €25,000 fine (reduced from the €100,000 originally sought by the government), the new Defamation Act gives the authorities the power to stage raids on publishers: the courts may now issue a warrant authorising the police to enter, using ‘reasonable force’, premises where they have grounds for believing there are copies of ‘blasphemous statements’."

So, how will this affect the WTS?

Will it mean they can't denounce other religions in their publications?

Will they have to print edited versions of all the literature just for Ireland?

Or will it play into their hand by stopping others from questioning its beliefs?

Will "publications" include websites?

I think its a stupid and dangerous law though. Another case of government getting too mixed up in religion.

Elder says that there're apostates who are organized in Spain

by cattails in

an elder said that there are apostates organized in spain to make the sale of the spanish branch money go to the congregations that provided the funds.

he has photos of the place from an email and had heard this from a circuit overseer who just visited there.

has anyone heard confirmation of this?.

HalfWayThere

The apostates in Spain stay mainly in the plain.

Gave my wife something else to feel guilty about

by JimmyPage in

as most of you know my wife was feeling guilty about our pre-marital hanky panky so she got the elders involved and now i guess feels better about it all, yadda yadda yadda.. so now i've opened a previously closed door in our marriage- something i had done in the past with "worldly" girls i dated- but not her.. let's just say it's frowned upon in wt-land but for some reason she's been following me around like a puppy lately.

and she reciprocates.. wonder if she'll be too embarrassed to confess this one.

or too happy.

So now I've opened a previously closed door in our marriage

Are you saying you opened up the back door?

why so much more sex in the Old Testament????

geeze.....there is david with lots of wives and concubines....still he was droolin over wet bathseba poontang in her bath.......lot gettin a threeway with his daughters......and omg.....the lucky soloman bastard with like 700??!

!..........why did this go south!?!?!?

!.......i was born in the wrong generation............oompa.

HalfWayThere

Ok, this is the reason there is less sex in the New Testament....

You see, when Jesus died, the annointed became the "Bride of Christ" (or some crap like that)

In other words, there was a MARRIAGE!!

And we all know that after a wedding there is no more sex!

So to summarize:

Before marriage (OT) - heaps of crazy monkey sex

After wedding (NT) - nada, zilch, boring

by TooBad TooSad in

i have a scan of the question box but i can't figure out how to upload it so i. will just type it out.

i can guarantee you that only we who post on this web.

by jehovah's witnesses have different logos.. congregations or individuals should not use logos or names of the organization's legal.

HalfWayThere

In other news, the Pope has said that Catholic churches should not display a cross as it may give the impression that they are somehow affiliated with Christ.

My Computie Screen is way tooo small!!

by hamsterbait in

i have a tiny notebook putie, with a small screen (about half the size of the usual laptop).

i want to stop having to scroll across to see the second part of a line of text on this site all the time.. how do i set the line endings for this.?.

hb.

HalfWayThere

How do i set the line endings for this.?

You can't. You only have the option of full width or fixed width page by using the options buttons on the top right hand corner of the page.

Perhaps Simon could add a narrow fixed width option for users with small screens such as yourself.

Another option is to use the Greasemonkey addon with Firefox and modify the fixed width in the CSS with a custom script.
