I didnt mind Glenn and Sally, a bit black and white thinking, and a company man through and through, but quite a likeable fellow. I remember his liking for really high waisted trousers.

I remember as a teenager hearing that Glenn Macfarlane had disbanded a cong and sacked some of the elders. What was that all about? Wasnt he ill because of all the fuss afterwards?

Lawsuit Settlement Amounts

by Richard Oliver in

i have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.

i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.

how do people like barbara anderson or jwsurvey or jwfacts come up with this number?

Straining out the gnat while gulping down a camel much?

While the amounts mentioned are estimates, all you want is for someone to come out with "yes, us raving apostates could be wrong", so you can feel all smug about yourself. The gnat.

Doesnt all the borgs money belong to yahweh for furthering the good news?

Then why is it being used to settle child rape cases? The camel.

Cant you see the fact something is seriously wrong by the fact that there are so many child rape cases?

Yet all you seem to spend your time doing is straining out a gnat to make you, you personally, feel better about being a dub.

Childish points scoring...

UK Daily Mirror: Girl who was abused by dad for 5 years asked JWs for help - but got molested by church elder too

by darkspilver in

this is from the website of the daily mirror - a british 'mass-market' red-top tabloid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/daily_mirror.

in the words of simon: "peers morgan was editor of the mirror and forced to resign after they published faked photos alleging that british soldiers were abusing iraqi's (around the time of ahu ghraib).

Hi Darkspilver, yes this article is indeed true. Knew the Cousin and Holt clan very well when a teenager.

I find the quote from Angie about Lot's daughters quite unnerving. Shows how the bible can mess with a kids head. I hope she can have a great life from now on.

What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?

by Village Idiot in

battery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.

while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.

hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

GoneAwol

Toyota have lead the way in hybrid cars for years now, and they see a future in hydrogen celled electric cars. I would definately have one, but as with everything, it needs to be a consumer price as opposed to a rich git price ie. Tesla.

Also, graphene is being used more in batteries which make them lighter, more powerful and can hold a charge longer. https://www.graphene-info.com/graphene-batteries
