True, Cappy, in his early years. That is why I said 'heritage' - if your mother is a Jew, so are you. The Jewish tradition is matriarchal in that way. Good question. : )

For those of us in the rugby world. Jonah Lomu dies penniless.
by joe134cd inthis just raises so many questions and issues.
how did it get to this point?
should he be entitled to the public generosity despite others been in the same situation and not receiving the same benefits.

There are poor children all over NZ. Why a trust fund for these ones? Ridiculous! -

It's a great flick, and what I liked was the fact that Maher held nothing sacred, not even his own Jewish heritage.
.
And yup, he truly showed the underbelly of religion (how 'bout those snake charmers?). :)

A 'Paradise' for mice turned out not to be so
by Petraglyph inin this experiment, mice were given a perfect environment in which to live.

but due to their nature it did not take long for this to become a horrible place to live.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z760xny4vm.

Hello there! You've really been through the grinder, and good to read you.
Things are really getting 'hot' for the organization. The chickens have come home to roost. Their cover-ups of the child sexual abuse are coming to light, and many court cases by victims world-wide.The Australian Royal Commission has brought this issue to the forefront of world news, and glad you have heard the news!
Take care, and so great to 'see' you!

A bit of research turns up that they have chapters in the USA, Britain, Canada and Australia. Their website contains complete transcripts of their books and plans (well, general plans) to take over the world.
A disturbing sect, indeed. I note that they feel the "Syrian Civil War is part of the American Project against Islam". Okay, then. These are the true fundies ... kinda like those Xtians that murder abortion providers. A small group, but violent and bat-shit crazy.
Very interesting.
Oh, the youtube vid shows. It's a 'stay out of Australia, we don't want you here' song. meh

So They Are Making News

Sica said she is looking forward to the Witnesses' move in part because the church's properties seem off-limits to non-members, with fenced-in parking lots and no street-level retail. "It's closed off," she said. "You get that sense of 'This place is not for the public.'"
It's clear the local business association has them pegged. They know the true nature of the WTS - absolutely no transparency. None. Zip, zilch, nada. You want to be separate? Then we are glad you are leaving. And don't let the door hit you on the way out.
They can take their Billion $$$ and shove it. No, wait - they should be forced to use it to set up a retirement income for the 1975 generation.
