I have no questions for them, but I do wish them the best of luck in their efforts against the WTBTS!

65Calling all posters! What are YOUR questions for Candace Conti, Rick Simons and Kelly Kraetsch?
by cedars ini am pleased to announce that candace conti, and her key lawyers rick simons and kelly kraetsch are planning a youtube video to answer any questions that people in our community may have regarding the recent conti v watchtower lawsuit.
i have offered to coordinate the gathering of these questions, and i thought it might be fun to do it in a "competition" style jwn thread, with the best answers being chosen by kelly, rick and candace to be addressed in the video.. as you can imagine, there are some provisos to this.... this is an active lawsuit, so for obvious legal reasons kelly, rick and candace will have the absolute and final decision as to which questions are answered and how much information is divulged when they are answered.we need the answers in the next 7 days, so the "cut off" for this competition is exactly 7 days from the time this thread goes live on jwn.we kindly request that all questions are asked in a respectful manner without any malicious or offensive intent.
any inappropriate questions will obviously be discarded and ignored.

Wife's FS report for last month... Zero!
by Captain Obvious ini could just be reading too far into this but... even with plenty of opportunities and time to go, she didn't seem to make it out last month.
last night she said she was gonna go out today (the 1st) but... she's downstairs at the moment sipping coffee watching tv.
a few weeks ago on the long drive back from the assembly we talked about fs.

I think jgnat's advice is very good, based on my own experiences. I'm out for several decades but I still use a similar approach, and it seems to work.

Since the wt is discredited, what is the pillar and support of truth now?
by prologos insince the wt with its doctrines past and present is discredited, is there an entity that can be shown to be the latter- day "-----pillar and support of truth---" paul was writing about at i tim 3:15.?
have the believers or non-theists or exjws an equivalent at all ?
because humans like to huddle around the fire for the radiant heat.

No, there isn't. And there is no evidence to support the conclusion that the bible is any more valuable as an explanation of life on this planet than Mad magazine or Hustler.
In a thousand years, people might be worshipping Larry Flynt in the same way they currently worship Jesus.

No worries, Trees of Arabia!
The points you've expressed are certainly valid, and the WTBTS should pay dearly for the abuse of children. While the sexual abuse is the abuse that is actionable under law, there is a lot of other child abuse both encouraged and facilitated by the WTBTS that is not legally actionable, but should be. Abuse is abuse, whether legal or not. So I am encouraged when I see large judgments against the WTBTS, such as the one recently received by Ms. Conti. From my perspective, the substantial punitive damages award she received (i.e., the part of the judgment that is awarded solely to punish the perpetrator as opposed to compensating the plaintiff for the harm she sustained is referred to as "punitive damages") is in some way punishment to the WTBTS for some of the child abuse that they will never be legallly punished for.

The WTBTS is a despicable group of corporations that deserves whatever negatives, including dollars spent, public opinion, etc. that comes from the Conti case. However, the Conti case has a real victim; Candace Conti. While many may envy the substantial monetary award the jury gave to Candace Conti for the harm she suffered, NO money can erase the harm she has sustained and the stress and unhappiness she endured during the discovery process that preceded the trial, as well as the trial itself. She has more than earned anything she receives, and if she could rewrite history, I'm confident she would prefer that the abuse she suffered never occurred, over the prospect of enduring it and receiving a large judgment for the harm she sustained.
If anyone is planning on using Conti's name to bash the WTBTS, or for any other purpose, the decent and legally prudent thing to do would be to get her approval first.

Scott,
Gary Johnson was all over the mainstream media, just not as much as the two turds who were the front runners. He received more votes than any Libertarian candidate in history. What makes him better han Obama or Romney? Track record. As a Republican governor in a democratic state (New Mexico), Gary Johnson cut the size of the New Mexico State government, resulting in a budget surplus. He served two terms and was term limited out. He is a middle of the road Republican with Libertarian values. That means he's fiscally conservative and socially liberal, the best of both worlds!
But alas, we're stuck with a guy who has no plans of ever balancing the budget. Obama is looking forward to the USA's emulation of Greece . . . coming soon!

Obama supporter? Yes, I contributed money to his 2008 campaign. Then we got 4 years of lies, selling out, and excellent speeches, while our economy suffered under the weight of Obama's uncontrolled spending. Needless to say, Obama got no contributions from me in 2012, and he didn't get my vote either (I voted for the best candidate - Gary Johnson).
As between Obama and Romney, I would have voted for Obama. But there were better choices on the ballot than Romney or Obama, and I didn't want to "waste" my vote by voting for either Romney or Obama.

I prefer American cars. A friend of mine had one of these, but recently sold it:
It was like an Indy car on the street. Insane!
