  A press conference is going on just right now. 2 are confirmed dead, and 15 casualities.. Most likely more than one bomb exploded. Police urges people to leave the centre of Oslo. The commercial tv station TV2 premises are under evacuation right now.

  the comedy blockbuster "bridesmaids" is rated r in the us.

  in scandinavia it is allowed for everyone to see, although recommended to youths/adults... shows the difference in attitude towards swearing/sexuality.

  whereas some violent films have lesser rating in the us than europe.

  DC Sunday Drama

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  let's call it a very ugly version of "joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" recreated as a musicless "a young life serving god ain't worth living.".

  it included a highly fictionalized account of joseph being abused by his brothers for serving god and being loved by jacob.

  there was no mention of joseph's dreams that degraded his brothers and father.

  European Court to favor the WT and condemns the French goverment

  this news was announced today on the journal "le monde": http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2011/06/30/temoins-de-jehovah-la-cour-europeenne-des-droits-de-l-homme-condamne-la-france_1543102_3224.html#xtor=rss-3208.

  unfortunately, the european court of human rights has just condemned the french government against jehovahs witnesses.

  if you recall, the french state was claiming 23 million euro (abt 33 million us dollars) taxes on contributions received by the french watchtower during the years 1993-96, which, by now, had climbed to about 58 million euro (abt 83 million us dollars) counting interests and charges.. it is not easy to size the wt.

  According to the PR site of the Watchtower, the following is stated: Throughout this case, Jehovah’s Witnesses argued that the discriminatory taxation had been imposed with the purpose to cripple the worship practiced by over 123,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses in France. It was one of the many steps taken by anti-sect parliamentarians to mischaracterize and marginalize Jehovah’s Witnesses. Today’s decision by the court sends a strong message to the government of France that it must uphold the right to religious freedom for all its citizens.

  The newspaper has obviously used the memorial attendance as a reflection of the number of adherents.
