Id donate to get this guy a lawyer. I think this is the kind of case that might have legs. Allienation of affection can be a very real thing. Given the CO's comments and the the new Washtowel article I think they may have set themselves up. If I did give money id only send it to lawyer on the Illinois Bar.

Call to legal department Jan 6, 2012
by koolaid-man introubled former witness calls legal department at the watchtower organization.............. dale beckman says, can the "society" be guilty of "alienation of affection?
" in my case, my family has been told it is proper to hate me and to do nothing to help me in any way - otherwise, they could be considered a sharer in my works of "unforgivable sin.
" they are told not to even greet me.

Should we attend our first Birthday Party?
by Flicka inso we have only been fading for the past few months but already made up our minds that we are completely out.
we never managed to make any friends in our cong but we befriended our neighbours.. so our neighbour invited us to her b-day party in a few weeks time.
she knows that we are/were witnesses and that we are fading.. i don't see a b-day celebration as being wrong anymore.

Worldly people are usually fairly sympathetic to this...most hate the idea of kids without christmas and birthdays.....just let people know not to post your pics on facebook, and not to tell others. Your first birthday might be hard, but as time goes on it gets easier and more enjoyable.

There is nothing wrong with working on your personal appearance in order to find someone. Often times working on yourself will allow you to feel better about yourself. With this self confidence comes other positive traits. Lets be honest, your outward apearance has an impact on many things. I am not saying this as some buff guy, but by losing 35 lbs and minding my personal apearance more, it has let me be more confident and therefor more attractive to the opposite sex.
So dont poo poo channging what you look like, and at the sametime it is always helpful to become a more positive, interesting person.

Thinking about presenting a speach to the City Council of my town
by sabastious inthe city council of my town in california has banned marijuana collectives after allowing 16 to put up shop and provide for patients.
the ordinance will go through dec 1st and it will be illegal to setup a collective beyond that date.. i am thinking about becoming an activist for medicinal marijuana and i wrote this speach.
i have never spoke before a council before, so i thought posting it here first would break the ice for me.. let me know what you think, if you agree/disagree and why.. .

Well, the pdf of the March 2012 WT is hot off the press!
by serenitynow! inand it does not disappoint.
the first century brothers are on the cover, going door to door with what look like leather messenger bags.. the first article is entitled, are all "christians" christian.
and you can tell by the picture that anyone with a beard or goatee is definitely not a real christian.. the next article, remain in my word has this quote that condemns catholics but seems eerily close to what jws believe:.

They remind me of the Jewish women with fake beards in the life of Brian.

What are the worst pictures in My Book of Bible Stories?
by cedars ina few comments from muddy waters and mummatron on another thread peaked my curiosity and led me to revisit some of the illustrations in the my book of bible stories.
i don't appear to have my old copy from when i was a child (thankfully), so i checked out the images over on watchtower.org where the entire book can be read online.
the images below are taken from what is displayed on that website, although it wouldn't surprise me if there are equally awful images that haven't been used.. so which of the images below are the most grotesque and inappropriate for children?

Was I the only little boy who loved the violent pictures? It was the only way I got the good stuff

'If your body members you control...'
by Unlearn in'if your body members you control,.
you make known that the truth is your own.'.
this verse in particular from the jw song 'make the truth your own' has provided several instances of hysterical laughter between my wife and i.. just think about it.
