  i think the book is great, and it has anwsers to everything about this topic - the name of god (like pronunciation, yhwh in nt and stuff like that - professional stuff).

  Yogi,

  Knowing when I first read your post you had an agenda, here it is...the situation makes no sense unless you look upon this as Jesus claiming for himself the divine name. It's the power of that declaration that knocks these men down.

  "All those that confess"? First you mention an article about one priest who said he confessed, that then turns into ALL THOSE that confessed? How many will confess if this law is passed? About ZERO. However, continue the privelege and perhaps some of these guys would get help. Were I a priest and another priest, or ANY person confessed this to me I would withold absolution until such time as they turned themselves in to the police.

  This seems more an anti-clerical bent than is does about protecting kids.

  You can't mention the millions killed because of religion until you mention the hundreds of millions killed because of the athiest states. Sorry, that's how it works.

  That's just it, we have no idea if ANY of these priests confessed their sin to other priests. This law, if passed, would make a priest who hears confession choose between God and the State. I do firmly believe that all cases REPORTED to clergy should be turned over to the law, but those cases "confessed" to clergy need keep the privelege.

  Besides Cassiline, you point to the "millions" killed in the name of religion, but not the millions killed by atheist regimes.

  seigs,

  I'm saying that all that will happen if this law passes is that pretty soon any and all crimes will be required to be reported. That and the fact that almost any Catholic Priest compelled to reveal this will go to jail instead. Not because the priest wants to protect pedophiles but because he wants to preserve the sanctity of the Sacrament. Any priest that does reveal a confession is automatically excommunicated.

  no, I don't approve of the way the Society has handled this, but the Society doesn't have a centuries old doctrine, paid for in blood and death and jail, of keeping what is revealed in Confession secret. Besides, what were talking about with the Elders is when a victim makes the accusation. If a child comes to a clergyman and accusses someone of abuse that should be reported.

  One big difference is that the Catholic Church doesn't excommunicate the victims when they go public.

  I do beleive there should be a very strict definition of what qualifies for the privelege, but I think the privelege must remain. Besides, even if passed I think it would lose the constitutional challenge. Penitent Clergy privelege has been challenged in court many times in the US, the clergy generally win.

  This isn't a 5th amendment issue, if you or I were to know about a crime, and not report it, we could be held as an accessory to the crime. Why should the clergy be above the rest of the citizens?

  Because of the unique role clergy play in public life. If there is ANY issue I don't think I can trust talking to my clergy about, then NO issue is safe with them criminal or non-criminal.

  I bring up the 5th amendment issue because if the penitent beleives what he tells the clergy is a sacred secret to reveal it would be almost like self incrimination.

  If this law is passed for issues of child abuse then it's just the beginning of the slippery slope and NOTHING said to a clergyman will be sacred.

  D8TA,

  your logic is flawed, woefully flawed.

  Yes indeed, the US sells arms and makes a little money doing it, but with very few exceptions were not handing out weapons of Mass Destruction to the highest bidder AND, we're fixing to whoop up on the one guy who did get WMD that shouldn't have. In other words, WE are strong enough, militarily, to clean up the mess we make.

  The reason there are oil and food sanctions against NK is because it RESUMED it's Weapons program. Had they stuck to the deal we would have. Instead, they took our food and oil and funded their military build up and kept on developing weapons of mass destruction.

  You're taking Brazilian citizenship? Good, glad someone who hates this country so much is going somewhere where they can be happy.

  Oral Sex

  by Yerusalyim in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  that always gets your attention, huh.

  ok, i'm watching the "o'reilly factor", they just aired the case of two hs students who engaged in oral sex on a bus in silverlakes maryland while several other students cheered them on and the bus driver did nothing.

  the principal of the school system didn't inform the school board until after the local newspaper broke the story and he refuses to say how the students will be punished.

  If the kids had gotten into a little fight on the bus they would already be kicked out of school.

  Had they been caught with a nail file that had a tiny knife blade , they would have been expelled

  and possibly arrested. Had they had a minature replica of a handgun on a key chain they 

  would already be out of school, why haven't these kids been kicked out of school yet?

  Why the delay in punishment.

  anyone here ever wanted or had the desire to serve in the military while you were a jw in good standing?

  would you do it now if you were younger and within the ages that they require for new recruits?.

  are you willing to give your life for your country and what you believe in?

  Back

  The VERY first thing I would do if I were king in California is CUT TAXES, then, I'd CUT SPENDING. No more illegal aliens would be getting free medical care, or state funds, no more homeless guys addicted to drugs and alcohol would be getting 300 plus dollars a day to do with as they wish (though if they went into a treatment program I wouldn't be oppossed. Want more?

  Geeky things you did when you were a kid

  by DanTheMan in

  we were a very geeky bunch of late 70's-early 80's suburban american white boys in my neighborhood where i grew up.. but my all time favorite one that makes me laugh every time i think about it, was how we rigged up parachutes to our bikes using twine and trash bags.

  we would ride down the street as fast as we could, and then let the parachute out, which was tied to the end of our banana seat.

  we thought we were cool funny car racers.. another one was inventing a previously unheard of cuss word that we could use around adults while winking at each other and giggling.

  When I was five I put on the only suit I had, walked over to my neighbor who was then in his late 60's. I had some blank sheets of paper in a folder and my big Indian pencil. I told him I was there representing the company he worked for and that I was there for him to sign his retirment papers. His wife brought me in and gave me cookies and milk. I think I got this off an episode of Bewitched or some such show.
