  He suffered some inappropriate touching at school.

  That gives a whole new meaning to the thread title.

  How Important to You Is Being Married Or Staying Single?

  i have friends that pretty much need to be in a relationship.

  if they aren't with somebody, they are miserable.

  if they are in a relationship, they are unhappy.. do you feel that you need to be n a relationship or are you content to be single..

  BBC Radio 4. 14th February 2016. ''Sunday'' program with article on Witnesses and child abuse.

  the sunday programme investigates allegations that the jehovah's witness ordered the destruction of documents that could be used during the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse.

  was this in contravention of section 21 of the inquiries act 2005 which is punishable by imprisonment?.

  I think the combination of the CC investigation and this inquiry is enough to make the UK branch quite nervous at the moment

  I certainly hope so. And yes, I suspect a lot of their internal legal advice may well be second rate.

  And I still think that such a request from the Borg stems from the desire to avoid litigation, avoiding the Org being sued is their only concern, the poor victims can go jump off a cliff as far as "God's Organization" is concerned.

  
  

  I don't disagree with any of that - it's still something they've always done and not in particular a response to Goddard.

  1) It may be enlighting to some, but that's beside the point.

  2) His life is probably of value to his family. The fact it's dawkins is irrelevant - it could be anyone. The basic tenets of human decency allow us to pause for a just a moment and wish anyone a speedy recovery - whether it's the bloke next door, the president of the US, or dawkins. The fact that some disliked it says a lot more about them than it does about dawkins.
