  A prospective juror(JW) really ticks of Judge!

  by truthseekeriam in

  an appellate court has reversed the conviction of a bacliff woman who recorded her boyfriend raping his 14-month-old granddaughter on her cell phone, saying the trial judge tainted the jury by arresting a prospective juror during jury selection.

  alisha marie drake had been sentenced in 2013 to 15 years in prison for using her cell phone to record the act.

  her boyfriend, jason grant, was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography and is awaiting trial.

  i have a pretty good intuition but i have to admit i am going back and forth on the jw tv may broadcast.

  i keep asking myself are they really in financial trouble (wishful thinking) or are they just grabbing for more money?.

  i always appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and ideas on here.. let me know what you think.

  A temporary increase in donations can offset the expenses of court settlements/judgements. That way it doesn't make a dent in their day-to-day operations.

  Jehovah's Witnesses mentioned on BBC News site regarding not voting

  by defender of truth in

  jehovah's witnesses.

  there are about 140,000 jehovah's witnesses in the uk who will choose not to vote on 7 may.. mark o'malley, a spokesman for the christian-based religious movement, said: "as you go through the bible we see that god's kingdom is already established in heaven with god as the king of that kingdom.. "we are politically neutral as, in a sense, we have already chosen to support that kingdom's government.

  we see it as a real government.. "there are limitations to what governments can do, maybe they can improve the health system, but they can't prevent death, maybe they can help children, but they can't provide a secure future for them necessarily.

  This guy doesn't even know his own doctrine. I thought JESUS was enthroned as king in 1914? Unless the consider Jesus as God now?

  Why People "Fly from Facts"

  by cappytan in

  good article on the minds of our still in loved ones.

  these experiments show that when peoples beliefs are threatened, they often take flight to a land where facts do not matter.

  in scientific terms, their beliefs become less falsifiable because they can no longer be tested scientifically for verification or refutation.. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-people-fly-from-facts/

  Texan Billboard

  by Pubsinger in

  didn't the judge rule in the candace conte trial that wts did not have a responsibility to notify the congregation only to protect them?

  i think this is hugely missing the point.

  other churches and organisations have strict policies to protect members from sex offenders but they do not 'notify' in the sense that i think these people want.. so the wt response to that particular question will be 'no.

  My earlier comment that was accidentally deleted was that it doesn't matter what the legal obligation is.

  There is a MORAL obligation to warn the parents. The law of the land may not require it, but the laws of human decency do.
