We have the Castle Doctrine, here in MS. No retreat required.
It's much more convenient. Now, when we shoot folks on our property, we don't have to drag them into the house.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Don't expect to hear these Bible stories at church.
Cannibalism, rape, a bear that mauls children — this is the Bible?
They're among six stories from the Old Testament acted out in "Terror Texts," a musical at Northwestern College in Orange City.
Adding to the shocking nature of the stories are the theatrics, with actors decked out in Goth attire, a rock band and a mosh pit.
Theater professor Jeff Barker said the obscurity of the stories belies their value.
"We believe we have discovered something that has been lying dormant for many, many centuries," said Barker, who created and directs "Terror Texts."

in proverbs 4:18 as you know all, says that the path of the righteous ones would get brighter and brighter.
what does the brighter and brighter exactly mean?
how would you explain that to someone?

i have had several conversations over the past few years with brothers that i know that are elders, c.o.
's, and bethelites.
one thing almost all of them have said:.
Don't forget the big issue Ray raised in ISoCF: The content of the message being preached.
If the content is FALSE, it makes no difference how many hours of preaching take place all over the world.
Well, what is the content of their message? That Christ returned in 1914, blah, blah, blah, lies.
Therefore, their preaching works is of ZERO value, and therefore proof of nothing.

We also have another serious issue, here in the USA.

Here's one example of what can happen when only the bad guys have guns...

40,000 of us die each year from car wrecks. Should they take away our cars? There are risks involved with living in a free society. We love our freedom, even if it comes with risks. The news headlines don't tell you about the thousands of innocent lives that are SAVED by lawful guns. If there were zero guns, we'd still find creative ways to kill one another. I like having a cheap, convenient means of protecting myself and my family. Since I'm not opposed to lethal force, in life or death situations, then I want an accurate, convenient and practical means of delivering it.
I think we all have invisible signs on our homes. These signs come in two flavors:
Which sign do you prefer?
you can't make this stuff up.. .

Here's one person's take on it...
I'm afraid you and everyone who sees things the same way as you do are completely missing the point about this story. You may be doing so deliberately, because you're a very bright guy. But you surely have a responsibility to your more doltish readers.
The point isn't that turkeys shouldn't be slaughtered, or that it's somehow news that they are, or that Palin ought to have been more delicate for the sake of the frigging turkeys.
The point is that it's unbelievably ill-judged to stand in front of something that is more interesting than you are when giving a TV interview. That, my friend, is the joke. It would have been funny whichever pol stood there. That and the sheer, apolitical comedy of those images. Get it? Course you do.
That first principle is particularly important when you have nothing, nothing whatsoever, of any interest to say. Although maybe the opposite applies - at least we had something to look at whilst SP dispensed the usual stream of incoherent platitudes which presumably you hear as folksy wisdom of the hills. I mean, do you really? God help us. Or you.
no active dub will read "crisis of conscience" by ray franz because it is "apostate".
now if it is truly apostate,in the sense of being scripturally wrong then the wt has had 20 years or more to expose it,same as if it is factually wrong.. if it is neither, then the wt has had 20 or so years to put their house in order,so reading it now,dubs should say "oh yea we've changed that,so no worries".
so why can't they read it now?.
How many of us have heard JWs slander Ray?
An elder once told me the following: "Ray started thinking too much of himself, so the Society kicked him out."
Nothing could be further from the truth. Why would this brother say such a thing? Probably because another elder had told him the same thing.
It gets repeated, over and over.
This can only be described as slander or harmful gossip.
However, since they feel that ex-members should be "hated", I suppose Ray is, in their book, fair game for charater assassination.
Disgusting.
