a former member and longtime critic of the church of scientology has been ordered by a marin county judge to pay the church $500,000 for speaking out against the controversial religious movement.
superior court judge lynn duryee issued that order in a breach-of- contract lawsuit against scientology defector gerald armstrong.

Have any of you ever addressed the society re: jw's who are 'news worthy'?
by orbison11 inthis has bothered me for a while now, maybe due to there being a few high profile poeple who are/will be/were jw's.. my x was a professional musician when we became jw's.
he was advised, i don't know how may times, to basically get out of the profession, etc.
to a point when he would on occasion do a wedding as a gift, his songs were written down and scruitinized by the elders, blah.

now we have a pic of selena williams in people kissing her beau of six months, running with the american flag , prince being involked into the rock n roll hall of fame, list goes
just wondering have any of you approached the society/elders about this double talk/two faced/hyprocity? how can they get away with this ?
just wondering:)
