Not Guilty. This is a tainted case and which no enlightened society should condone prosecuting. The government charged with trying Zimmerman before a jury is then found to have put tax dollars into organising protests and riling public emotions against the same person? Jesus got a fairer trial from the Romans.

One less celebrity Scientologist
by Gopher init makes me very happy when a popular celebrity leaves a cult, because it could give others the courage to do it or start to think about leaving.. leah remini played carrie on "the king of queens", and has also been on "saved by the bell", "the talk" and had small parts in other shows.. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/leah-remini-leaves-church-of-scientology-calls-it-corrupt-report-2013117.
leah remini leaves church of scientology, calls it "corrupt": report.
the church of scientology has one less celebrity among its ranks, according to a new report: leah remini.

Becoming an 'Independent Scientologist' like the main defectors are doing is less harmful than the Miscavigeite cult they were feeding into. Let them play with their e-Meters all they want to. Miscavige is a vile sadistic man whose twisted little fiefdom is getting run into the dirt by his own arrogance.

I would have liked to have seen the panic spreading in the Accounts Dept. once they realised they were playing by new rules and that they weren't working. But alas, they eventually did figure out new ways to earn money sans literature sales. They are experts at putting guilt trips on people after all.

JWs and E-Cigs
by TheClarinetist inthe other night, two of my jw coworkers were sitting out enjoying an e-cig with one of my other coworkers.
i knew from earlier that there was tobacco (well, nicotine) in it.
out of curiousity, i did some minor digging with my worldlytm coworkers and am pretty darn sure that these guys aren't doing anything else questionable... are active jws allowed to smoke e-cigs now, or did i just witness some extremely minor teenage rebellion?.

Smoking e-Cigs just for fun doesn't really make any sense. Who looks 'cool' smoking an e-Cig? It's like someone chewing nicotine gum because they like the flavour.

Does Jehovah give credit for time served? If so, I went to more religious meetings in my lifetime than most modern-day Christians. Count that time up, boss.

Just as there will be no female pope, there will be no such addition to the GB. The reasons are not only idealogical. You can't just jump to the GB from nowhere. Women are in absolutely no positions of authority in the JWs, anointed ones included. The closest thing you can get to power would be a wife of a GB member or Bethel top administrator, and this would only be by extension. The GB wives had power only because of who they were married to, and people had to have had a sense of fear about displeasing them. Even if they were to decide one sunny day to appoint a woman, who would it be, and why choose them in particular? They've got men at Bethel and the branches who'd be first on the list.

Who has had their District Convention seats stolen by other Witnesses?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inover the years i have had to deal with this problem personally and as a attendant covering my section at various convention centers.
i had people who were suppose to be decent jehovah witnesses pick up all the books, bags and coolers belonging to brothers and sisters who arrived at the appropriate time and picked them up and dumped them all at the end of the seating row.
so here is what goes down, the sister runs up to me panicking and saying "dear brother, i had all those seats reserved for my family and now look!

At the first interrnational convention I attended, I was shocked at how the seat saving stampede was unravelling. The family I was staying with also happened to be waiting for the doors to open. The duct tape people were the worst. They didn't even make any pretense of saving seats for immediate family. You heard the 'RIPPP!' of the tape and two rows were sealed off instantly. I had already placed my items on an aisle seat at the time someone was heading for me with tape. He just taped it over with the 'Sister, these seats are taken', even though I was there first. My friends pulled me back and I ended up sitting next to them and noticed that not all seats were occupied. Several were just spaces to store their lunch and book bags, and for their outer clothing.

My ailing grandmother moved out of her spacious home and into a more smaller, yet more convenient place for her ongoing care. She had a library of old publications, both in Spanish and English. Though one of my brothers reluctantly offered to take them so as not to appear to show disrespect for the publications, the decision was made to toss them into the skip and to count her time doing it because there was the possibility of someone finding a bunch of books there and taking one.

The Sparlockian Voice is racist!!!
by rip van winkle inthis is more of the same from the people who brought you force adding to their facebook page, pix of board members flipping the bird in front of the kingdom hall.and now the latest debacle is .
:" the sparlockian voice".
yes, this serious group of anti's , that either want to discuss reform with or annihilate the wts has provided more fodder.

I openly wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that you can't use pseudonyms on incorporating documents?
The Sparlockian Voice is a poor choice of a title for the official newsletter. Only a select people will get the humour in it. To anyone else, it might sound like a title for an episode on Star Trek. 'Captain - these transmissions we have intercepted contain... the Sparlockian Voice!'

Millions now living will never die - false prophecy yet?
by slimboyfat inrutherford wrote the booklet of that name in 1920. is that definitively a false prophecy yet?
even if everyone who was alive in 1920 survived armageddon, if it was to come today, would that amount to millions of people?
according to wikipedia there are 316,600 people who are a 100 years old or older.

Those few hundred thousand people remaining from 1920 would also have to be either Witnesses or those who have never been preached to and never had the choice. The ones who did manage to slam the door in the face of a JW in the following 93 years, thus rejecting the JW message, cannot be counted as one of the 'millions'.
