  what right does the baker have to force the client not to express his/her opinion ? - Phizzy

  None at all.

  And the baker has the right not to participate in that expression.

  Live and let live.

  That would make deists into atheists would'n't it?

  Yes. I don't believe in agnostics.

  Wow, Jdash that 17 types of atheism is insane. Somebody is overthinking it.

  If you are unimpressed by the claims of theism — an omnipotent deity who cares who you sleep with — then you are an atheist.

  What type of atheist are you?

  What types are there? - Not sarcasm by the way, serious question.

  What made you doubt your faith in God?

  Is there anything you can think of that can't be believed to be true on the basis of faith?

  "Even though it will be painful, we believe that to bring this awareness will give [survivors] hope", he said. “We hope that if some victims have not come forward, they will come forward. … And we believe it’s the right thing to do”.

  Wow. If only the Watchtower had the balls to do the same.

  The Supreme Court — the highest court in the UK — has considered all the details of the case at great length and reached a decision.

  The only puzzle if that the lower courts could have thought otherwise.

  The baker was asked to use his skills to produce a cake with a slogan promoting gay marriage: it was NOT simply the case that he was asked to bake a cake that would be used at a gay wedding.

  He did not wish to do so. The court ruled that he has that right. Victory for common sense.

  friends,.

  with the circular speading of my satire tread about the annual meeting on many different ways, even informal across the jw organization, i'm pretty sure that the news about russia (new king of the north) is not real.. there was a moment i thought that it was a coïncidence that incoming messages mentioned it also.. now i suppose it started all with my op, went trending through the organization (even through bethel belgium) and became a story on it's own.. this is not realy my style and i'm not proud of it.. g..

  Nothing unusual about individuals going off-script at the AGM.

  If it isn't in print, it isn't so.

  It’s confirmed in the new Ezekiel book - Average Joe

  The 'king-of-the-north is part of Daniel's ravings, not Ezekiel's.

  As usual anybody who sees anything differently from Morph is a moron and an idiot.

  The OP of Gorby's thread did not read like satire.
