  Forgive me if this is not correct but am I the only one who finds it ironic that the JW .borg is made up of mostly minorities (20% white, 40% black and African, 10% Asian, 30% Latino) but is headed by a group of old white men? Jehovah has such a sense of humor!

  Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

  judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

  imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

  by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

  I heard the WT hired one of the most expensive law firms in the UK to "fix" their legal problems and then once they got it where they wanted they let them go. Can anyone confirm this?

  who would have thought that one simple expression, "last night in sweden" would suddenly shine the light on the cockroaches?

  who would have thought so many people would laugh at the president for saying such a thing!

  I see it seems a varied system of belief but all here no longer believe in a personal God. That's a start to true enlightenment in my opinion.

  Here I am. Alone, without my safety net of "God" being there to remember me when I die. After much consideration, examining science, history and using logic, I have come to the conclusion that there is no "God" at least certainly no loving, personal "God." Shortly before my final conclusion was reached, I read an excerpt from an expression attributed to Marcus Aurelius,
  

  "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

  I know there is debate if he really said this or not, but the point is still valid and I believe the only way to live life. If you die and there happens to be a God, a loving God, then he should forgive you because you made an error. If you die and there happens to be a God, a loving God and he doesn't forgive you then he's not a loving God and doesn't deserve worship. Tell him to go to hell. If there is no God, well, you're dead anyways and it doesn't matter because you don't know you're dead. You're just dead. The only thing that might bother you while still living would be knowing you would leave loved ones behind and they will suffer for a while without you until their own death comes. Thus the cycle of life.

  I'm content, and happy with my prospect. I feel complete actually. No more absurd religious beliefs and contradictions. No more debate. Just a simple answer to our end. It brings inner peace. I understand that not everyone has the mental and "spiritual" fortitude or intelligence to accept this conclusion. I understand that this conclusion can cause one to go insane and perhaps, religion is a necessary evil in this world for the lower intelligence humans. It gives them their inner peace. That's fine too. Whatever gets you through this life. What are your thoughts?

  "Please friends, remember to turn in your time."

  "We now accept credit cards and debit cards at the donation boxes."

  I know, phrases but still. Sounds like another scam to me and everybody covered all the good ones already! ;)

  THIS Is How Muslim Mother “Fixes” Rape Of 2-Year-Old Granddaughter By Grandfather

  by Hecce in

  saw this dated 2/26/2017, seems to be from 12/2015.. .

  even in a religious culture that advocates the murder of victims as honorable, fathers and brothers are typically the perpetrators of horrific violence against female family members whose only crime was to be the victim of another, the killing of a child by its mother stands out as particularly unnatural and depraved.such a heinous act occurred recently in sohag, egypt when a mother of a two-year-old child took the life of her child rather than protect it from violent sexual assault by its own grandfather.. a muslim mother identified only as “merfat” was awakened by screams in the middle of the night and found her father, faraj, in the act of raping her daughter.. .

  rather than acting out of a natural, protective instinct, the 23-year-old mother chose to shield her father from scandal as taught by muslim theology and sharia law.. merfat told authorities that she took her daughter, little grace ahmed, from the grandfather, placed her in a tub and held her head under water until the child drown.. alik akhmim, chief detective of the police in sohag told egyptian reporters that “traces of blood” had been found in the little girl’s anus, evidencing the degree of force and injury the child endured at the hands of her mother’s father.. this kind of act is referred to as an “honor killing” thought to place the reputation of the family above that of any individual member, and which is used to punish the victim rather than hold the perpetrator accountable.. murdering rape victims is common in countries and communities that adhere to sharia law where the crime is rarely reported for fear of exposing the family to shame.. “honor killing” is no longer limited to predominantly muslim countries or the middle east.

  So true. For some reason the left has decided to hide the truth. What happened to being true journalists? Even Google and Facebook are now guilty of this. (Please see 4chan for more info about this. They are going to do data dump soon) But more interesting is how the media attacked Trump for speaking about how bad things are in Sweden. Swedish media made jokes about it, even said what problem? There is no problem here. So one leftist journalist decided to investigate if what Trump said was true or not and went to Sweden. When he got there, he was told to leave immediately by police after he was confronted and followed by masked men.

  Here are his tweets. Very scary.

  Edit: He wanted to prove Trump wrong and show it is more safe in Sweden than in USA. Amazing irony. I think he learned his lesson.

  now that trump is on his way to making america great again, will you consider moving here where you can get the best healthcare and education that anyone with a lot of money can buy, plus the ability to buy all the guns you need to protect yourself?

  and it gets better!

  if you are caucasian, you need never worry about discrimination.. am anxious to hear your replies.

  I am curious. All of the Trump haters, did you watch his speech last night? Do you still think he is literally Hitler?

  I thought it was his best speech ever. Even on CNN Mr Van Jones who is a communist was praising his speech and said if he keeps this up that he could win 8 years. I thought he was going to make a joke. Then he said, last night Trump officially became President of the USA. I fell out of my chair.

  Ruby, yes, you are right. Steve Bannon even went so far as to stage this entire scene and pretend it was hidden camera.
