  If the coming wall prevented only one of these additional obscenities, it will be worth the money,

  Spoletta: By that logic, you could justify paying for an armed guard for every woman in the United States to prevent rape.

  
  

  Adding to your argument Spoletta, I am sure these people who think 30 billions dollars are worth paying even if it protects one woman only, they wouldn't mind paying twice as much for some goods and services whose prices are reduced by illegal immigrants' labor. I am not taking sides necessarily; I just want to provide a dose of reality.

  smiddy - I dont believe JW`s should be banned in Russia.

  Agree, but it's about time that governments step in and set restrictions on the power of dangerous cult leaders. If they want to practice and spread their religions feel free, but no murdering of innocent children by denying them life saving procedures, or mentally torturing ex-members by shunning them, or telling gay people that God hates their behavior and consequently causing mental distress that pushes them to the brink of suicide.

  I am a libertarian, but I wish sometimes that ex-JW's sued the org for all the mental distress that it causes to them and make it pay for all the therapy sessions and the legal costs involved. Same for other similar cults.

  Blood problems in Italy

  in february 2017, the european association of jehovah's witnesses made a "submission to un human rights committee subsequent to the adoption of the list of issues on the sixth periodic report of italy".. the 119th session of the human rights committee is currently underway - the dates are march 6 - march 29.. the wts has been trying to get "intesa" status in italy for decades and this latest submission to the un highlights the problems the jws are encountering in italy concerning the blood taboo.. this link will take you to a downloadable word document that is the wt's submission being considered:.

  http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/treaties/ccpr/shared%20documents/ita/int_ccpr_css_ita_26670_e.docx.

  23676 of 2008: mr grassato (one of jehovah’s witnesses) was unconscious when admitted to the hospital.

  a slippery slope, if a government can tell you what medical procedures you should or should not accept

  R,O,

  I guess you don't like government forcing the individual to choose life saving procedures, but you are quite OK when cult leaders coerce you to "choose" death, especially for your children.

  How deep is the rot?

  by JeffT in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  by now it seems obvious that the gb and other leaders of the wtbs are corrupt.

  the pedo scandal and various financial schemes are sustained by either lack of concern or greed at the top.

  my question is how far down the food chain does this go?

  Are elders part of the corruption?? No, duped, perhaps. All the elders that I know don't seem to get any financial benefit. They just get drunk in the power trip of controlling the lives of 100 gullible people. Even circuit overseers are duped. The district overseers would have been in the category where the duped coexisted with the corrupt. That's possibly why they are extinct today. The GB didn't want any overlapping of the wolves and the lambs.

  Why are Republican's so consistantly dishonest?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  it hasn't gone unnoticed that the republicans who are saying, "we need to get to the bottom of the obama wiretapping" and "let's investigate this" - are the same people, when it comes to trump's russian ties, who are saying, "we shouldn't look at this at all - it's just a bunch of lies and hype.".

  no evidence whatsoever for claims about obama need a congressional investigation.

  but mountains of evidence about trump with more coming out everyday can be swept under the rug.

  only Republicans are dishonest??? Better question, why are politicians dishonest? Because dishonesty is one of the most effective tactics to move up in politics; it's a double edge sword though.

  getting fired vs quitting_________________________my specialties in life are great and many, but none more fabulous than the talent i've possessed for getting fired and/or quitting a job.how many jobs and careers i blazed through would spin your head!

  suffice it to say, more than you've time or patience to hear.. there is something in my psychology and verbal arsenal too prone toward candid criticism!

  i find myself blurting out what i really think before even i can stop myself.i worked for an art gallery owner once who had everything going for him except good sense.

  I tend to be candid too. The story was too long, but I read enough to tell you that I would have fired you too.

  The doubling of the price was simple and neat, but it had the problem of raising the price above what the potential buyer was willing to pay. I never care about 75% or 90% discounts, I care about the final amount. Your idea did not lower the dollar amount; your boss' idea did.

  Just like Jerry Lee Lewis, often in trouble with the law, but a great artist. In fact, they both were among the greatest. RIP Chuck Berry.

  Uniting Church apologises to victims of sexual abuse, Jehovah's Witnesses defend treatment

  Richard,

  You are just like your leaders, a complete asshole, who would find any irrelevant argument to excuse the inexcusable. It's obvious that the Watchtower's main goal is to hide child abuse at any cost, especially at the risk of harming and endangering innocent children.

  The reason the Watchtower doesn't have employees is because they want to exploit instead of paying rightful wages. The reason the Watchtower doesn't have school is because they don't care about teaching practical and useful skills. They just want to exploit.

  The bottom line is: who cares about the types of relationships of trust, There was a relation of trust in both cases, the Watchtower's and the Uniting Church's. The difference is most other religions have hearts and compassion, while your leaders... well... should I repeat it....why not ....they are callous assholes.
