  Don't care if she's insane or not, this woman should be executed.

  A slave is obedient even to a cruel master?...

  just recently sister x from the kh where i recently attended had another meeting with the elders there to try and help she and brother x with their abusive marital relationship.

  they are constantly meeting with the elders and have done so for many years over this and everything other decision they need to make in their lives.

  they are very "elder dependent" but their lives never seem to improve and in fact it just seems to go from bad to worse.

  I've never heard that scripture applied to wives, and I suspect it never has been applied to wives in the literature. This is some nut case elder body that doesn't know what they're doing. I also agree with willy, some people just can't be helped, not even by professional couselors, unless the help is to just go ahead and get divorced. That's the only answer in some cases. In this particular case, since physical abuse is involved, she should call the police.

  Flowers for Algernon - anyone ever read it?

  i remember this from school............it was one of those short stories that were required reading.........i remember being totally swept away by it and deeply saddened by the ending.. .

  daniel keyes wrote little sf but is highly regarded for one classic, flowers for algernon.

  as a 1959 novella it won a hugo award; the 1966 novel-length expansion won a nebula.

  Loved the story, always struggled with the question of whether the relatively short period of being intelligent would be worth it.

  Forced taxation of branch overseer in Sweden ............

  by TheOldHippie in

  the branch overseer in sweden has received a forced or increased income taxation by the authorities.

  they have estimated his personal income to the equivallent of 24,000$, which he has not declared.

  they have estimated this amount based upon the value of free living quarters, food and car.

  I think this is a great idea. I wonder how much income tax COs and DOs pay? Some of those guys make a lot of money.

  I'd say no one has made the case that there is a higher rate of suicide among JWs. This anecdotal stuff doesn't really mean much, and I don't know of anything definitive. I've known two people inside the organization that committed suicide and three people outside, but that's meaningless in the context of proving anything.

  So interesting that Clarke has only contributed to Democrats. Oh, and he admits he voted for Gore.
