  So far I see evidence that he went to show events. Memorial and dedication of building. He has ties, yes, but those are the equivalent of born in Catholics going to Christmas mass and the Vatican. They are the things that lots of faders/drifters do to make family happy and to stay under the radar. John cedars has bethel pictures

  I was very impressed watching the Dutch lawmakers work through the questions and fact finding. The actually seemed interested in dealing with facts and working with facts as they planned to interview the local bethel. Ok, I was amused at how the one guy sincerely thought he was going to be able to work with the org to develop strategies to examine/improve their handling of these cases and their dismay at judicial processes that left out law enforcement. They actually

  thought the WTBTS would work with them, bless their hearts.

  Update on Detroit-Area Murder Suicide - Front Page Article

  https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2018/02/19/keego-harbor-jehovahs-witness-mom-triple-murder-suicide/351559002/.

  this was on the front page of freep.com this morning - sadly there are some factual errors in this article that people will jump on (not allowed to go to college was in original article for instance - hopefully the reporter will correct it).

  interesting reading the comments below the article - all kinds of opinions.

  Pure speculation. Maybe she wanted to go back to the borg and feared what would happen to the rest at Armageddon when they pushed back. Then it makes sense in the crazy JW mindset

  Is the USA too big?

  fred deftone on another thread about the tragic events at m. stoneman douglas school:.

  the us constitution wasn't written for 50 states either.

  the country has gotten too big and i think the solution is fragmentation.

  I like the USA being united States, but the concept of states rights, which was big when abortion was a hot topic, is kind of ignored theses days. Abortion notwithstanding, I think we have lost sight of states rights as well as real statemanship.

  There is not even an attempt at any kind of dignity of respect in the political process.

  I saw a "debate" in Denmark and was reminded that some people have entirely topical conversations on issues and the only time politics were mentioned is as they were introduced In the discussion. No one went hollering about fake news, a previous administration or a failed candidate. That can still happen. Grown-up adults can still try to govern even when they have political differences. It was so refreshing.

  Would separating accomplish anything useful? With the clowns running this circus, I doubt it. They are no better than the inbred aristocracy that kept Europe warring for centuries.

  Forget the borg. This is a conversation to have with ex. If not resolved, it should be a conversation with an Atty and you should definitely bring up all the applicable dirt in the borg, your/her family and ex congregation. I think that your ex wife knowing that will happen might help her decide how to respond.

  The child protection issue in every way actually could impact this. WT is on record with their stance medically and regarding how they deal with abusers.

  Or 8. That should put any bethelite or JW in the position of FDS publicly, then keep the real power so far from public that the guys can play their mind games without anyone even imagining who is really running the show. Like the disembodied powers(computer) that be in "Logan's Run" remember the movie about the utopia that was really a dystopian nightmare? That's not unlike what the borg is.

  Remember how the movie ended? I live in hope!

  The official at the end called it a debate. The culture of the Netherlands seems very civil and focused on the issue at hand. can you imagine such a conversation the us? Theyd be blaming the Clinton or Bush administration for something unrelated 5 Minutes into it.

  God is under the impression that virginity can be proven or disproven by tokens of virginity (blood in sheets). God directed women to be stoned if they didn’t have token. God is evidently an ignorant stone aged man.

  So you're worried about the Big A, or the North Korean bombs? Sorry everyone, Japan is the one that has likely screwed us all.

  heard much lately, about the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan?.

  that is until earlier today when i found this article from last year, with dr. helen caldicott discussing the chernobyl disaster and fukushima.

  she believes fukushima is uncontrollable and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.. read the article: .
