  He took the mainland city, did he not? And the the island part of the city managed to survive until Alexander finished it off. But it is not a failed prophecy, as he conquered the mainland city.

  "it's not entirely fair to collect retroactive taxes when you didn't make any effort to collect at first."

  No, definitely not ENTIRELY fair. And what also is definitely not ENTIRELY fair is to single out ONE religious group and try to tax that one ALONE, as the French government tried to in this case.

  Couldn't help njoticing these sentences,

  "Participants from Utah, Arizona, Idaho and elsewhere gathered in a public park to sign a "Declaration of Independence from Mormonism."
  
  "This feels awesome," said Alison Lucas, from West Jordan, Utah, who took part in the rally amid soaring temperatures. "I don't know if I would have had the courage except in a group."

  Independence - but only as long as you're part of a group............ "I need to be in a group to be independent" .............

  Not Gilead - but the new school for couples; Gilead is being phased out and the new couples' school is introduced. Nothin' strange in breaking the 3-year schedule, it is either because of syncing or because of COs being used as teachers in the schools.

  The "Secrecy Policy”

  by Celestial in

  i've given this recent lawsuit quite a bit of thought and come to sound conclusions.

  after examining other organization's child-protection policies (namely churches), what i've come to realize is there's a one-size fits all solution that's socially acceptable; all information obtained through witnesses and confessions by organizational personnel is be used to aid and abet law-enforcement.

  there's no in-between or anything short of this objective that's socially acceptable.

  Your statement, Phizzy, that "all of them fulfill the scripture about having "No natural affection" " is really hurtfull. Please, do not make such generalizations, your anger only ruins the good you are trying to do.
