  i had this article pop up about the darksilver case.

  it says a federal magistrate in san francisco has now ruled that darksilver can remain anonymous but then it says except for identification to lawyers for the religion’s watchtower publication.

  Having listened to the audio of the case - a case which the org has allegedly brought on the grounds of copyright infringement - why didn't D.S.'s legal team request that the org's case be thrown out, based on the following two points?

  1) In the first instance, D.S. was legally covered by "fair use" legislation, therefore, there were no grounds for copyright claims.

  2) crucially - in the second instance, (at 4:25 secs) the judge stated that DS committed NO copyright infringement, it was simply a confidential document, not a copyrighted one.

  Maybe someone can explain if there's something I'm missing here, but if I was a juror in a case like this, I would say the court action was specious & malicious.

  If a white person did this to a Muslim woman & child, the racist would immediately be jailed.

  The court ruling - "....except for identification to lawyers for the religion’s Watchtower publication, which claims the posting violated its copyright." LOL.

  The org knows the saying about "skinning cats."

  Some reckon that Darkspilver is a U.K. Bethelite. If he is, Darkspilver can fully expect to be "re-assigned" in the near future, i.e. made redundant at Bethel and booted out to a congregation to become a Regular Pioneer. The elders won't be given any written info about him, but you can bet their C.O. will privately "caution" them not to make him an "appointed man" any time before Armageddon.

  No disfellowshipping - just exiled to permanent trolley-land. Totally neutralized.

  Should Hand Held Cellphones Be Banned While Driving?

  by minimus in

  many states do not even allow you to hold your phone if you are driving.

  do you think you should be fined hundreds of dollars for touching your phone while driving?

  ?.

  A study in the UK stated that texting while driving was as dangerous as drink-driving.

  So why hasn't the drink-driving law been been applied to the use of mobile 'phones in cars? An automatic one year ban would send sales of hands-free kits through the roof, and save a lot of friends and families from attending funerals.

  New Light on the 144,000?

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone on facebook is claiming to have reliable information that the gb is about to announce new light on the 144,000 -- that it's symbolic, not literal.. one person suggested that they will retain the two-class teaching and just change the meaning of 144,000. his idea was that the change would avoid three problems with the current teaching:.

  1. embarrassment over more and more partakers at the memorial when the number should be getting less and less.. 2. embarrassment over 12 symbolic 12,000s somehow equaling a literal 144,000.. 3. solving the problem of running out of "anointed" ones who are old enough to be on the gb.. thoughts?.

  Thank goodness for the spirit-inspired or non-inspired 'slave.' (it changes with each side of their mouths)

  How would we ever know how to understand this verse without them?

  (Revelation 14:1) Then I saw, and look! the Lamb (figurative!) standing on Mount Zion, (figurative!) and with him 144,000 (literal!) who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. (figurative!)

  3 out of 4 are figurative. Thank you so much G.B. for revealing the "truth" about this verse.

  Do You Support a Sex Strike?

  by minimus in

  alyssa milano is saying that women have to go on a sex strike to take control of their bodies.

  what do you think about this?.

  Alyssa Milano tweeted, "Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy."

  Reproductive rights being erased? No - just unborn foetuses. No one is stopping women from reproducing.
  

  And don't women already have control over their bodies?

  They can legally choose to use contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, and they can legally choose to avoid sex. Both scenarios assign them control over their bodies.

  Alyssa Milano says nothing about responsibility and accountability for the unborn child.

  BS1 - ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND MORE!

  The deeper you get into any toxic situation, the more traumatic it will be to escape from it.

  Get out ASAP and save yourself a whole lot of grief. Just tell your conductors that you're temporarily stopping the study because you have private & personal issues which you have to deal with, and that you'll call them when you've resolved them. If they try to interrogate you, just say, "As I said, the issues are private & personal, but I will contact you when I'm ready."

  Then do research and ask questions - here and elsewhere.

  LOL! In video 1 of 5 on Sunday, the congregation Secretary's apartment door is battered down by those pesky security forces who are wearing balaclavas and carrying sub-machine guns!

  Does any other religion try to scare the living daylights out of their adherents & kids the way this cult does?

  At least with Catholics, hell-fire and damnation comes after you die. JW's terror is coming sooooooon!

  Excellent, thanks!

  The WTBTS rushes to prosecute anyone who publishes JW content on the internet, and yet here we have all of their Regional Conventional video-crapola plastered on a web site which is controlled by the Russian government - a government which outlawed the cult and it's propaganda.

  I am delighted by the double irony here.
