  a thoughtful read in today's huffington post.

  it reminded me of how glad i am that 1st gen and i left the cult together and worked on keeping our closest relationships alive.

  it wasn't easy.

  ....according to lesbian comedienne.

  "the archbishop of canterbury has conceded progress on same-sex marriage in the church of england would be "glacial", sandi toksvig has said.

  the comedian revealed she had met justin welby for a "long-promised coffee" and the meeting had been "calm and considered", but the church's position was "untenable".

  Should you confess your sins?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  confessing to a crime lands a person in jail or worse.

  there is a very interesting out of context commentary in a law book under the topic that describes the role of a child advocate that explains how humans intrinsically want and need to be free at all costs without encumbrances.

  (in germany for example, the government recognizes this basic need and doesn't penalize jail escapes.

  The Hubris of the Governing Body

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's difficult to comprehend how arrogant the members of the governing body must be to sanction much of the content that appears in their literature.

  they identify themselves as the 'faithful and discreet slave' - that alone requires an astonishing degree of pride.

  but what is even more amazing - arguably to the level of insanity - is the way they then use that phrase to elevate themselves above the rest of the organisation.
