  The cost of printing hardcopy is prohibitive. There is not enough demand to justify even a limited run.

  These two songs still make me cry . I left the witnesses and shortly there after lost my older brother right about this time. I was so confused and lonely. My brother was one who supported me no matter what.

  i see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.

  i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.

  also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.

  They have made no positive changes!!!! They have only changed their dogma when there previous claims have been proven false. Do they say we are in error forgive us ? No they do not. They instead try to put the blame on the rank and file and accuses them of 'running ahead' of God.

  I feel your pain . Abusing your children and then blackmailing them is very common in this cult. I experienced the same torture.

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  Online court records list the race of three of the officers charged in the Freddie Gray case as black and list the three others in the broad category of "white, Caucasian, Asiatic Indian, Arab" without specifying.

  The above I was not aware of. So basically 3 black cops, 2 other minority cops, and 1 white cop.

  I was aware and again I say this was not a racial incident. This was another example of the police attitude towards the citizenry in the US. They have an us against them mentality . To the police every citizen is a potential felon and as such are treated with disrespect.

  Simon this what second degree murder is defined as in this country. Intent to kill need not be an element of the crime. Please see the citation I have provided below...

  Depraved-heart murder is the form of murder that establishes that the willful doing of a dangerous and reckless act with wanton indifference to the consequences and perils involved, is just as blameworthy, and just as worthy of punishment, when the harmful result ensues, as is the express intent to kill itself. This highly blameworthy state of mind is not one of mere negligence.... It is not merely one even of gross criminal negligence.... It involves rather the deliberate perpetration of a knowingly dangerous act with reckless and wanton unconcern and indifference as to whether anyone is harmed or not. The common law treats such a state of mind as just as blameworthy, just as anti-social and, therefore, just as truly murderous as the specific intents to kill and to harm.

  —Judge Moylan, Debettencourt v. State[3]a

  1. The initial arrest was illegal. The police had no probable cause for the arrest.

  And the charge for this is what? Is it something that you charge people for (criminally)

  Yes there is a charge it is called,1 false arrest and 2 official misconduct.

  So violating policy - again, what charge does this carry?

  3. The way that Mr Gray was transported in the van was against police department policy.

  Policy policy policy. What charge?

  Again official misconduct and criminally negligent homicide.

  5 The medical examiner has determined that Mr Gray's death was a homicide, and it was determined that Mr Gray could not have self inflicted his injuries.

  We already knew he died. All this says is that he didn't kill himself and it wasn't an accident (like a falling tree). It doesn't ascribe any intent.

  Criminally negligent homicide does not need to have intent proven as one of the elements of the crime.

  Here is the legal definition....

  Negligent homicide is the killing of another person through gross negligence or without malice. It often includes death that is the result of the negligent operation of a motor vehicle, which includes the operation of a boat or snowmobile. It is characterized as a death caused by death by conduct that grossly deviated from ordinary care. Negligent homicide may be charged as a lesser-included offense of manslaughter. It is also sometimes referred to as "involuntary manslaughter".

  Also remember that this is 6 million in a municipality that caps the settlement awards at 200 thousand per incident.
