  i strongly believe that humour is one of the most potent weapons we can use in our struggle.. cults hate to be laughed at.

  may the force be with us!.

  we're at least 48 hours into the aftermath of the groundbreaking candace conti verdict, and as i wake up this morning i notice the news wires in america are alive with the story.

  almost every major news website is running the article.

  i notice there is also talk of a tv interview being broadcast.. however, when i search uk websites for "candace conti" i get this.... .

  I am Going to Send The Following Press Release to UK Media. Please Help.

  i will email this around uk newspapers, even the ones i wouldn't be seen dead reading.

  i have aimed for succinct and non-sensational.. please feel free to use and abuse it if you want, the more emails they all get the more it may catch their attention.. your feedback please before i send it..... .

  the legal corporation that controls the activities of jehovahs witnesses, the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, has been ordered by a californian court to pay $20 000 001 in punitive damages to a victim of child sexual abuse.. the victim candace conti brought the action after the organisation refused to change its official policy of secrecy as to sexual abuse of children by congregation members.

  i was raised in a city hall.

  it was pretty evenly split.

  I don't think we had any black travelling overseers until the 90s. Once MTS came along more black brothers became CO's though Bethel had a few Bethel elders of colour for years.....
