Ann, I don't suppose that means the 300 year long history of the inquisition, where the Catholic Church burned "h eretics", that's men women and children, alive.
Actually I suppose the Catholic church is quite proud of itself now. After all it has come from burning people alive to not even approving of paedophilia.

Elderlite,
Dont take any notice of Moshe.
He is a JW turned Jew and is the local judge and jury on what is acceptable behavour.
Moshe,
How is your pharisee training going?
the watchtower september 1, 2010 11. .
the dangers of being deceived (page 10/11).
to deceive, says one dictionary, means to cause to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid.
WTWizard, the Watchtower does a good enough job making itself look ridiculous without our unnecessary linguistic jingo. I've often wondered what visitors and lurkers would make of phrases like; "witlesses", "theocraptic" and "littera-trash".
Or plain misrepresentation of sensitive issues like; "hiding pedophiles and silencing the victims" or "wanting the husbands to tyrannize their wives".
With respect, I just don't think it's helpful.
May I say an amen to the above, and amen and amen.

I thought this was interesting:
"They also do not explicitly require that sexual misconduct be reported to police or that bishops who hush up such crimes be disciplined, as critics have demanded.
"Tweaking existing church policies won't have real impact on bishops' behavior and won't make the changes that kids need to be safe," said David Clohessy, director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
And controversially, the new document classifies the attempted ordination of a woman as a canonical crime equal in gravity to molesting minors and heresy. That has outraged advocates of greater rights for women within the Roman Catholic Church, many of them in the U.S."

so the pope is coming to the uk in september and because he is the head of a mickey mouse state he gets to unload the cost on his hosts.
20million is the latest estimate of protecting a man who ought to be served an arrest warrant for aiding and abetting child rape.. let's hope the government remember that public protest is still legal in the uk.
Amazing how he is getting away with documented years of protecting child abusers.
ya gotta be jokin

Down with the child molesters that hide behind the Church, if it is Catholic, Jehovah Witness, or whatever.
Amen and Amen.
May I also add: Down with church officials who permit child molesters to hide behind them, from the Pope down,
and the governing body down.
just got word that the costa rican branch is being closed and the buildings sold.
ive read some things here but cant remember why.. why?.
So is that the first of the group to go?

a year ago, mj suddenly died.
for years, multitudes of people said michael jackson was a "sicko" a "wacko", a "child molester" and an "addict".. once he died, the man was glorified by people, the media and his family.. what did you think about michael?.....personally, i thought he was an eccentric ultra-gifted artist who was childlike and brilliant.
i was never convinced that he was a child molester but i will say i thought his behavior was "weird" with kids (and adults)..
I am into classical music so I actively disliked his music, but I didn't mind the man and felt sorry for him.
Not for a moment do I believe he was a child molester.
