Also, I find that people who support socialsm and in particular 'universal health care' do not understand basic economics and 'free market' economics. They think it sounds good, and that is good enough for them. Watch the US end up like Spain (26% unemployment).

Funny, most people I talk to that support Obama care either work for the government in some form or don't make a good living. Never met one that was a sucessful entrepreneur.

Just Read 1.5 Hours worth of Conti Case Files
by lambsbottom inread 1.5 hours worth on conti case files (examination & cross-examination).
here is my take (and i consider myself a pretty logical person able to set aside emotion...i've never been abuse but know people who have been).. the jury was completely right in awarding the judgement to conti.
as far as the award amount, i don't care to comment on.

Read 1.5 hours worth on Conti case files (examination & cross-examination). Here is my take (and I consider myself a pretty logical person able to set aside emotion...I've never been abuse but know people who have been).
The jury was completely right in awarding the judgement to Conti. As far as the award amount, I don't care to comment on. However, this is what happens when there is a centralized governing body that makes all the decisions. This is why a non-centralized approach is much better. The GB is making decisions on things that they are not witnesses to (confession, individual circumstances). They are making judgements from their tower in NY about something that really should be decided upon by a vote via the Elders in the local congreation.
Churches need to pick what they want, non-profit status granted by the government (which sure as hell holds them to a higher standard of expectations) or more of an autonomous congregational setting. These big organizations bask in the tax free status the GOVERNMENT grants them, and then whines when they are held to a high standard and code of ethics. I am all for maximum freedom of religion, the bill of rights and constitution. However, the WT shot themselves in the foot, and so did the local congregation.
After reading these files, I will never be an Elder because I am not going to leave myself open to civil suits just because I was a 'yes man' and took orders. Did these Elders get sued individually? If so, for how much?

Meeting Today
by lambsbottom inme and the spouse looked over the wt and decided it wouldn't be in our best spiritual interest to stay for the wt (we usually don't anymore).. so, took the kids to the public talk (was actually great, nice brother), took them outside for a snack and snuggled/played...and then left (an hour early).. .
felt great!
