Band on the Run said: "Within Alaska, she was notorious for Trooper Gate."
No, she wasn't. I worked at the Anchorage Daily News at the time as a copy editor, and "Troopergate" was just a blip before the VP nomination. Everything else you said though is pretty much true. She had no business being nominated; it cost us a decent governor.

godzilla did not like it during his recent visit.. .

From the wiki on Zilla: "Zilla was originally called Godzilla in his American movie but the name was changed being that the true Godzilla is that of the Toho company. On the DVD release of Godzilla: Final Wars, the Zilla vs Godzilla battle has its own chapter titled "Pretender To The Throne".... Godzilla: Final Wars references the 1998 Godzilla movie when Zilla is defeated. The Controller, in the Japanese version, says, "I knew that tuna-eating lizard was useless," a reference to the American creature's diet of fish in the 1998 film."

Just so you know, the monster in that Matthew Broderick movie in New York is NOT Godzilla. Toho, the Japanese company that's made all the Godzilla movies and owns the rights, has officially named that monster 'Zilla and actually had it fight the real Godzilla in one of the more recent movies. Thus, while it is incorporated into the Godzilla pantheon of monsters, it is not Godzilla himself.

Before her VP nomination, Palin was well respected by both parties here in Alaska and never -- repeat, NEVER -- tried to inject her personal beliefs into her politics. She changed completely after gaining the national spotlight, but before that she was an effective governor. After that she was a punching bag and really had no choice except to resign. I'd never vote for her, but at least I have some perspective; all of the "She's the personification of the Devil" people are the reason political discourse in this country is so lousy.

"People Demand the Filth" for wanting to hear about crime in their nieghborhood? What about "Shrewd is the one that has seen the calamity... blah, blah, blah," are they saying instead people should just read about puppies and flowers? So stupid.
as a kid, my brilliant pioneering mother told me that if i stopped thinking, satan and his demons could enter my mind.
am i the only one that was told this useless drivel?
is there a watchtower article that sort of backs this up?.
That's why people have nightmares: Demons! I suppose nightly prayers are suposed to ward them off and protect you while you sleep. (seriously, though, I never realized before how demon-focused JWs are).
what exactly is perfection?
for instance jesus had to learn things like being a carpenter learning how to read with learning comes mistakes.
if put him on a golf coarse he would not auttomatically sink a hole in one everytime.
God's idea of perfection and free will don't seem to go together. Just like when He said "Choose today whom you will serve, me or the other gods. By the way, if you choose the other gods than I'll kill you. But it's your choice. Just know that I'll kill you if you reject me, but like I said, it's up to you."
the [human] creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of god.romans 8:21.

slimboyfat: [BTW: in UK, it's the opposite!]
What does this mean?
It means ignore everything he's telling you if you don't live in the UK.
it took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!
i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.
so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.
Everyone has their own delusions to get them through life, so if that's yours than be happy with that life. But if you're ever not happy pretending, or can't turn your brain off again, the rest of the world will still be here for you (No, it's not going away anytime "soon").
the plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.
the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.
the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.
This is telling: From the Watchtower's Trial Memorandum, page 10, heading V. is titled "The Church Defendants had no legal duty to report child sexual abuse to authorities" and here's what the WT lawyer had to say, starting on line 26"
"In this case, the two elders received a confession in November 1993 from Jonathan Kendrick as stated above. The elders had no legal duty to report the incident to the authorities, because the law at that time did not require ministers to do so. In addition, this confession by Kendrick was received by the elders in the course of the discipline and practice of the Jehovah's Witness faith and was intended to be kept confidential. As such, it was also privileged and not subject to disclosure in any fashion beyond those dictated by the protocols and procedures of the Jehovah's Witness faith. The Church Defendants assert that, even if received today, that confession by Kendrick would be privileged." (emphasis mine).
