Being Poor is A Crime
by sammielee24 inguilty of being poorby eric ruder / april 23rd, 2009. the jailers of the 19th century even in the pre-civil war south largely abandoned the practice of imprisoning people for falling into debt as counterproductive and ultimately barbaric.
in the 1970s and 80s, the u.s. supreme court affirmed that incarcerating people who cant pay fines because of poverty violates the u.s. constitution.. apparently, though, some states and county jails never got the memo.
welcome to the debtors prisons of the 21st century.. edwina nowlin, a poor michigan resident, was ordered to reimburse a juvenile detention center $104 a month for holding her 16-year-old son, the new york times wrote in an editorial.. when she explained to the court that she could not afford to pay, ms. nowlin was sent to prison.

Why do so many Xjw's not end up in some sort of trouble?
by AK - Jeff inmy observation has been the opposite of agb's in this regard.
i have known of precisely 0 who have turned to gangs/drugs/prostitution after abandonning the lies known as jehovah's witnesses.
most seem to lead lives of quiet hope outside the mainstream religious community once they leave - but far from dangerous lives [even from the jw perspective].. just thought counter-point might be fairplay here.. do xjw's live like jw's?

After they pick up our bones...
by cameo-d inand after they are bored with picking fruit..... do you think they will make us into something they like better?.
when i first saw this elaborate chapel of skull and bones, my reaction was that this had been intended as a mockery.
surely these friars know the statutes and levitical laws that death and handling of the dead is considered "unclean".
