When I was about 9 or 10, I had my JW Aunt and Uncle buy me a KISS Album, my Aunt & Uncle are both still JW's, she's about 56-57, and she likes Heavy Metal. My Dad destroyed the Kiss Album, and several tapes and albums later, from Ozzie, Black Sabbath, AC/DC etc. I started to hide it better, god forbid they ever had found my King Diamond Tape. It was bad enough when they found my books on witchcraft.

Did you keep "satanic" LP's as a JW?
by Pleasuredome in.
i kept all my iron maiden records 'cos they weren't satanic in my opinion and the music was just too good to be thrown out.
anyone else keep records that would have been deemed "satanic"?

Better Iraq turns into a glowing glass parking lot than one American city lies destroyed under a mushroom cloud.
Actually a ground based suitecase size nuke wouldn't destroy an entire city, it would take out blocks, that's why they explode them in the air over a city to maximise damage. Now it's the secondary affects that would cause more problems, from the radioactive fallout, depending on the wind at the time.

Searcher, no that's not what this is about, this about abusers confessiong to clergy, there are already laws in several states, that require clergy to report abuse, if a victim comes forward to them, not if the abuser confesses, and that's what this is about.

he was holding the gun...how would he have gotten the pepper spray in the hurry?...besides vicous dogs will not be deterred by a spray. and in such a stress situation i just don't think its fair to blame the cop for mistake a hyper dog for an agressive dog.
Sure it is, if he's a cop, he should be a little more professional than that.

It's funny, my kid asks for McD's all the time, and we don't go all time, just once in a great while, too bad the parent is neglegtful in this case. Think the parent should sue herself, for not having proper parental responsibility.

this potentially dangerous dog was running towards the cop...so the man had 2 options...either shoot the dog or get perhaps bitten. i would say his reaction is very understandable. in this situation i probably would have shot it too.
Untrue, they have pepper spray, and tazers, the dog was wagging it's tail, I know about this bread, a freind owns one, boxer/bulldog mix, the dog is hyper, but not aggresive, it doesn't wag it's tail when it's going to be aggresive, and the cops could have just closed the doors, like the woman was pleading for them to do. I suggest you go read the articles again.

Rhymes's mother said she had "always believed McDonalds was healthy for my son".
I bet she thinks, smoking crack is healthy to.

Lisa, I remember that case, when I heard about it, my thoughts were, that the cops involved should have gotten the chair.

I'm all for protecting kids, remember, I'm a victim of abuse too, but this is not a solution, it's an attack on religion and will go to the heart of destroying the trust that MUST exist between the confessor and the confessee.
Who really gives a rats ass about the confessor, is protecting the confessor so much more important then, protecting children? If he wants that kind of protection he can go see a psycholigist, because there, he might actually get some help, preists are not pyschologist. Myself I couldn't give a flying fuck about any religion, when it comes to protecting children. Let's see let's balance this, let's see what should take priority, protect children, or protect a religion? Any sane person would want to protect the children first.
Searcher, I am quit well aware of the issues, and your wrong. Because there have been cases in the WTS where the person confessed, but nobody else in the congregation was told about the pedophile, nor were the police called, all the while, parents letting they're kids sit on these pedophiles laps. That simply isn't right.
