Yeru,
One more time:The U.S. invaded a foreign country. It attacked locals and took many of them captive and shipped them to Cuba. They are being held in a PRISON CAMP AGAINST THEIR WILL.
Are you saying that the US can just walk into any country and take people hostage? If not, then how do you justify what is happening with these detainees?
You keep referring to them as terrorists and murderers. You have not the slightest shred of evidence for using these terms.
to all who have been following my lawsuit against the society here in canada, the judge is to make her decision this week.
it has been a long 8 months since the trial, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that she makes the right decision when it comes to protecting the children (and myself) from the wrongs of the society.
we have not heard yet if she needs more time, so friday is the end of her extension.
GO VICKI GO!!!!!!
I have been anxiously watching the calendar and thinking about your case; I can only imagine how stressful it must be for you!
Just remember no matter what decision the judge renders, you have made a powerful impact just by coming forward and speaking out.

Yeru,
How in the world can you say their rights are not being violated? They are being held as prisoners against their will by a foreign govt. As far as anyone knows, they have not been charged with a crime, they are not allowed visits by a third party. Article 6 you quoted above seems to apply to them perfectly well. They were living in Afghanistan, when they were attacked and captured by U.S. forces.
one thing that is commonly brought up is how the society has made so many mistakes and uttered so many false prophecies.
i just wonder what would happen if the watchtower ever came out and asked forgiveness for their sins and asked to start a clean slate.
(you know, like the pope did a couple of years ago).
Some of us would have to change our screen names!
i remember walking home that night.
by the time i left school, it was already getting dark, and i decided to walk through the town centre and wander round the shops.
i took in all the christmas decorations and lights and colours.
Awesome post Duncan!!
anyone plan on clowning these fools at their conventions?
i don't necessarily mean shouting, holding placards, etc.
but i do mean putting evidence of their covering up child molesting around.
I would like to go buy some blank checks made for computer printers. Run them through the printer with some kind of message like "no money for pedophiles" or similar. Then attend the convention in dub mode, drop as many as I can into contribution boxes.
Feel free to use this tactic.

Me too!!!!!
I am writing to protest your awarding a prize to the Watchtower Society for their video entitled Protect Your Children. Many International news organizations have publicized the problems this organization is having with accusations of protecting child molesters. They continue to deny these allegations. This video is part of an ongoing attempt by them to whitewash over the real problem they have within their organization. For your group to give them recognition like this only serves as more propaganda.
In the future I would hope you do more research before nominating a group for any kind of award like this.
sincerely,

paul berry.
today we received this comment/email of allegations regarding paul berry, it.
appears brother berry may have a few problems, we were able to contact this.
Can anyone tell us what kind of laws Sweden has on slander/libel. I would think Anders has a pretty good case here.
I continue to be amazed at the depths this organization will stoop to in a hopeless effort to dig themselves out of the very deep hole they seem to be in. ("We'll dig ourselves out!")
Nice to see that the TV show did a follow-up, and that at least one newspaper editor can see through the smoke and mirrors.

What makes you think they are paying anything to get these clips run? I think they are probably getting the stations to run them for free, since they are PSAs.
Its incredible how receiving awards and recognition from worldly sources is now touted as a good thing. I seem to remember someone, not sure who it was, who said: "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Guess that doesn't apply anymore.
i nearly fell off my seat.
this 30ish jw elder came strolling in the movie theater with his wife and a huge tub of pop corn in his arm to watch x-men 2: xmen united.
i couldn't believe the hypocrasy.........they teach not to even watch much tv, much less go to a movie.
Gotta agree in part with pork chop. I know many elders that enjoy Star Wars, Star Trek, James Bond etc. Anything PG-13 is basically legit, with the notable exception of say, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter which were mentioned by name repeatedly, simply because maybe too many witnesses would look at the rating and say, must be ok. Is this being hypcritical? Maybe... But it would take a pretty anal elder to come down on someone for going to one of these films. Most elders wouldn't give it a second thought, regardless of what is said in the Watchtower.
