FOURTEEN DEAD IN DENVER SHOOTING !
by Phizzy inmore than one gunman seems to be involved in this terrible act.
families were attending mid-night showings of the dark knight movie.. the media should not give publicity tothe names of the perpetrators, they often crave the fame.
give them that fame and others will crave it too.. my thoughts are with the families of all that are affected, a horrific and pointless act that will bring so much pain and sorrow.. edited to say, seems as though it was a lone gunman..

Hierarchy in a bubble
by irondork inwt doctrine can only go out to the public from the governing body.
there is no way to for the public to get information back to the governing body - at least not in a public venue.. .
their web site dispenses information only.

Do you think this message would tempt me back to the loving arms of the cong?
by HappyOutsideTheBox ina 25 year old relative of mine was being stalked last week by an older woman.
the police were involved and the perpetrator arrested.. as it was the convention and his uber zealous, hypocritical mother- aka my sister, was going to be absent from home i called to see how he was doing.
in the course of the conversation i referred to 50 shades of grey' (the stalker had fantasised about him being mr grey).

the letter is a rant. It goes from one thought to another with scant direction

I have had a hard time of it in a couple of jobs because OTHER witnesses doing this. In one job at the bottom end of the scale i was respected but then other jw turned up complete with 'self-righteousness' and the other work mates thought i was the same but was not showing it; ie thinking ill of them secretly. No I was not. They are rough men doing a rough job as was I but mr 'self-righteous' arrived and stuffed everything up.

More legal trouble for the WT? jw.org

anyone speak legal-ese?
sounds to me, (not fluent in legal-ese mind you or real estate-ese) like they are being sued for a bad real estate deal.
