The JW's actively discourage anyone from talking about a sexual predator by telling members they can be DF;d for slander, even if what is talked about is true. Freedom of speech is being denied to those who have been victimized. At a congregation I used to attend, there was a stern talk that anyone who talked about the pedophile would be guilty of slander. Someone I know was very upset because their bible study with small children would be vulnerable to the pedo. I suggested they get a copy of the newspaper report dealing with the crime and sentence and give it to the bible study, That is what they did. No slander, just copy and hand-out.

How do Americans feel about Canadians and Britons interjecting their opinions onto hot localized political topics: gun laws, abortion, ect?
by adjusted knowledge inin addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.
i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.
this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.

Strange that a Texan, of all people, would think a bovine was a moose. Must have needed glasses. Maybe he was related to Dick Cheney. We live in the wilderness too, a lot of bears around here, they come right up to our house and scare the livestock. A gun makes sense in some situations.

Hi, I can't seem to sign in using my phone. It allows me to put my info in, but the little brown 'sign in' button doesn't work. I've tried over the last few days and the same thing happens. My user name and password come up, then I have to verify I'm a human and then when pressing 'sign in' nothing happens. Anyone have any idea what the problem may be? Thanks. -

Need to vent: Wife just went in full cult mode, huge fight. she is so brainwashed
by goingthruthemotions inout of the blue my wife started to ask me about my feeling about the borg.
i told her i didn't want to talk about it...she persisted.
she already knows how i feel, i told her that my biggest beef is that they use mind control, and yep she went in to how i was an apostate and how she doesn't want to be married to an apostate.

Curious, if she hated white people so much, why did she move to where so many of them lived? Barbara, how did you manage to calm down after that tirade? I would've been a shaking mess for weeks after that. -

Delusional. As long as they keep themselves occupied with ridiculous things, they keep their minds away from serious questions. -

Hellow and welcome. Love your point about creation and whoever or whatever is behind it leaving a book for only a select few...with that thought of intelligent design, the book itself is extremely archaic.
