Well, that was probably not a docket entry the WTS team was happy to see. The media triggered the intense scrutiny against the RCC probably more than the financial impact of the lawsuits. The Boston Globe reporting really set the whole thing off.
This is what I was thinking myself. As great as lawsuits are, it seems the media really helps it achieve critical mass.
I would think the media would love a "new" catholic church. . . . It's about time.

Bridgeport is a notoriously shitty area. Not surprising, and really doubt it had anything to do with JWS.
increasing business relationships between african nations and china has also brought migration between the two areas.
chinese people move to africa, and african people move to china.
south china, in particular guangzhou is a favourite location for africans in china:.
Fascinating! Thank you FTS!
it is xmas time and perfumes and colognes are on the list.
what do you really love for a scent if you were being given a gift?.
I haven't worn cologne in years, but when I did, I liked Polo and Eternity.
Egoiste as well.
aawa activists burst into a kingdom hall in kent.

THINGS PEOPLE IN THIS KINGDOM HALL WERE THINKING: Oh, dear! We are being attacked by agents of Satan! The Watchtower was right! [to selves praying "JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH!!!"]
THINGS PEOPLE IN THIS KINGDOM HALL WERE NOT THINKING: You know, everything they said made so much sense. They seemed quite reasonable, rational. I really should reexamine my beleifs.
i'm atheist and not ashamed of it.
however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.
i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?
REBEL8 - maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you lived in NYC --- a place I would hardly consider atheist "unfriendly." I suppose there could be some neighborhoods with pockets of anti atheist sentiment. . . . Please set me straight if I'm wrong!
hi!.

That is pretty amazing. It must mean that Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true religion.
What's kind of funny is how basically the witnesses contribution to bloodless surgery is that they make the perfect guinea pigs.
What they fail to mention is that the actual doctors and scientists who came up with bloodless procedures are members of false religion: Jews, Muslims, and "so-called Christians". . . .
I'm sure some of those docs are awful, terrible atheists as well!
one of the most important sources that we have for the most ancient stages of the religion of israel are some epic texts about the gods of canaan that were found in an archaeological excavation in a place called ras shamra (ancient ugarit) early in the twentieth century.
these epics reveal a very rich ancient canaanite mythology, especially in the elaborated stories of the gods el and baal and their rivals and consorts.
while, of course, the israelite branch of the canaanite group partly defined itself through the rejection of this mythology, much of the imagery and narrative allusions that we find in the works of the israelite prophets, the psalms, and other biblical poetic texts are best illuminated through comparison with these ancient texts.
