Now that JWs know there is a pedophile problem...
by Zoos in... will they take it upon themselves to warn their bible studies of pedophile activity in the congregations so they can protect their children, or will the cycle of abuse continue with the attitude of letting new ones take their chances along with the rest of us?.

This one defies all reason and logic. Is Sister Unevenly Yoked supposed to go with her 12-year-old-son into the men's restroom? Or is that the price she (and her son) pay for her marriage to a non-witness.
Now let's include all the single (for all the usual reasons) parents of children of the opposite gender who now have to deal with this situation.
Did they start building "family restrooms" at their facilities?

Among other great lines, from Shawshank Redemption, I have always loved this little monologue by Sean Astin in Goonies:
Don't you realize?
The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town.
The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school.
Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us.
But right now, they got to do what's right for them.
Because it's their time. Their time! Up there!
Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here.
That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.

Jesus Christ. Check.
Jehovah. Check.
No mention of God at all.
Makes perfect sense to me. Never felt any connection to God with those guys.

Blondie-My mom's friend's elder-husband has been disfellowshipped for adultery, reinstated, and reappointed 3 times, in the last 30 years or so. If the 20 year rule still applied, the math wouldn't work. But maybe if it had applied, transgressions 2 and 3 would not have occurred. 3 times. What a winner.

The way a bond in an appeal works is that the appealing defendant (WTBTS) MUST deposit the actual judgment amount with the surety company for the duration of the appeal. Once the appeal is decided, the surety company distributes the funds in the bond to the prevailing parties as decided by the appellate court.
So they did have that cash. And currently they don't. That's a lot of money to be sitting in someone else's account for who knows how long. OK rank and file how do you feel about that? You gave them that money.

What to do when running in to a JW you know...How is this for a suggestion ?

I say this to younger ones that come to the door-that if they ever need to talk about leaving their religion and are afraid to talk to anyone about it, feel free to ring the bell again and ask for me.
But I never see them out in the neighborhoods anymore, only standing on the sidewalks at the parks and train station. And it's always the ones that are pretty old by now (70s plus).
I won't waste my time on the older ones. Instead I ask them what they think of cost of [insert whatever court ruling went against JWs in the last year that can easily be found on court websites via their smart phones...] and how they feel about their financial contributions paying for it.

Should kids learn cursive handwriting?
by GrreatTeacher ini am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.
in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.
as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.

When I was in grades 4-5, our favorite part of the day was our last half hour or so, when the teacher would write a sentence on the board from Dr. Seuss and we would practice our cursive. We always left relaxed, de-stressed, smiling and re-set for the evening (probably at a meeting for me...).
I am 50 years old. I have been teaching high school for more than 25 years. My students today marvel that penmanship was part of our daily lessons and wish they could have had that instead of the academic pressures they faced even in 4th grade. If they ever forget to put their names on their paper, I write it for them with a classic flourish. They can't believe I could write like that when I was ten-that we all could. Some of them leave their names off their papers on purpose, just so I will write it for them (these are 17 and 18 year olds).
They don't even need to type into a keyboard any more, they all just take pictures of everything they need to remember, or speak into their phones.
I wonder what they used to say when people developed written language: the horror-no one will know how to memorize anything anymore.

That seems about right.

Why only sisters with minor children need provide information regarding their care? Why are they not concerned about the brothers with minor children going off and abandoning their parental duties? Wow.
