Freedom of Religion isn't absolute.
In fact the court ruled that when there was a conflict between freedom of religion and protection of children, that protection of children is the more important right.
Sounds like a thoughtful decision to me.

by St George of England inso the wt society is going to contest the recent norway ruling.. jehovah’s witnesses to appeal unconstitutional ruling in norway (jw.org).
their true colours are shown in the statement: "the decision to deregister jehovah’s witnesses denies us the financial aid and other benefits that the government provides to over 700 registered religious communities in the country.
additional consequences include losing the right to appoint and authorize ministers of jehovah’s witnesses as officiants for weddings.".

"You cannot judge someone simply from your intuition of accounts online." - Redsetter2
Yes! Yes we can! In fact it's our job as intelligent consumers of media where pseudonyms are used!
And we can simply stop there. No one needs to "verify" anyone's identity.
You don't pass the sniff test, and frankly quite a few others don't either.
What exactly did you think you were going to prove with this post about the boy who cried wolf anyhow? That you're the wolf? Because that's what it seems like!
So, maybe we'll just continue to not give any credence to you and Los otro Lobos.

Yes. There's been a lot of sockpuppeting of accounts in the last few months where multiple accounts sound like the same person.
I've noticed it and Elmer noticed it awhile ago.
So, yeah, I'm just going to think of them collectively as Los Lobos now.

New posters of note:
"Halcon" means falcon, a bird of prey.
"Redsetter" is a type of hunting dog who works with a human hunter to hunt prey.
Are they here in their new hunting grounds on JWD?
Names can give you a lot of information if you're paying attention.

Oh, come on, he used the handle JW Barbas to talk about beards?!?
Wasn't that a little obvious?
Not that I ever go on Instagram, but I'd have liked to have seen how that played out!
Was the guy who was stirring up info on women wearing pants named JW Pantalones?
As they say, trolls gonna troll.

The Memorial and my thoughts.
by Truth and Justice inno matter what opinions you may have, the memorial is very important to us.
many are opposed to the way the organization performs the memorial because of restrictive rules as to who should partake.
as jesus said in scripture, "keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

Funnily enough, American Independence Day, the 4th of July, IS a nationalistic holiday and should be verboten.
But, every JW I've ever known loves to go watch big fireworks displays!

Ha ha ha !
Actually in a country that is hyperpartisan in its politics and has an almost militant patriotism happening, Thanksgiving is surprisingly neutral with no political or religious overtones.
It's just a day everyone stops to eat and be thankful of the things they do have. It doesn't celebrate the US, no flag waving. Even people who complain about commercialism in Christian holidays like Christmas actually find Thanksgiving to be refreshing.
It's one holiday that everyone can agree on. Except JWs of course!
