13Australian States & Territories Fail to Sign Up on a Redress Scheme For Victims of Child Sexual Abuse.
by smiddy3 inat a recent coag {,council of australian governments} meeting the subject/issue of states & territories to sign up for a national redress scheme to compensate victims of institutional abuse sexual and otherwise fell on deaf ears.. not one state or territory agreed to sign up .
not one.. i am sure the victims of child sexual abuse within various institutions not only the jehovah`s witnesses victims would be very disheartened to learn that.individual states and territories of government within australia do not support a national redress scheme to compensate victims of child sexual abuse .. the south australian govt.
to my understanding is they will never do so .

Fidel Castro and the WT
by Hecce ini am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.
you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.
during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.

never a jw: Have I been unlucky in my deals with black Americans and lucky in dealing with black Africans
Africa is not just one country, cultures and customs can change from one place to another; your experiences with some Africans are not an absolute reflection of their people. You will find good and bad like any other place.
Just the same your bad dealings with certain American Blacks will not make the whole community bad, just like bad experiences with Anglo's, Hispanics or any other culture don't reflect the character of all of them.

The FISA Memo, To Release Or Not To Release
by freemindfade inwas the doj, nsa, and fbi weaponized?
the biggest scandal of this era, or a false alarm by the gop?
i am skeptical what will come of it, however, some very strong reactions and words are coming from its existence and those who read it, also the fight to keep it secret is telling (reminds me of any cult trying to prevent people from reading damaging information).

Release it.
It might be just a GOP distraction, one interesting item is that Democrats are not saying about it and are the ones trying to keep it secret.

MLK: was a good Republican man and a great loss on race integration. He had his defects and one of them was plagiarizing his "dream" speech.

On the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s famous ‘I Have a Dream,' a forgotten speech from more than a decade earlier reveals what helped inspire it. Chicago preacher Archibald Carey, Jr’s landmark 1952 civil rights speech was thought to be lost to history, until WBEZ found it. Here's the speech in its entirety with a brief introduction of Carey at the top. (special thanks to the Eisenhower Presidential Library)

Hecce: Really? If that is true I think your friends are more Jehovah’s Witnesses than Latin Americans.
Never woman spoke thus, as this woman [speaks].

Surprisingly the friends over at the Spanish Forum view this situation from a different angle and they think that what this gentleman is doing is providing a great service to the ex JW community. Is like or similar to James Bond "license to kill"; Cedars has a "license to fleece".

committees
by dogisgod ini have had some conversations with ex-jw women and i am more than a little concerned at how, if a female, is treated in committee meetings.
it sure seems (i experienced this when i was young) that the elders have a commonality in trying to create such shame and sexual guilt (especially where none is deserved) that it is beyond abuse.
i know there are a lot of former elders here.
