  with islam being one of the fastest-growing religions in the uk, there’s more need for mosques.

  so when an old church goes up for sale, it’s not exactly surprising that someone might want to turn it into a mosque.

  chacteristics of a cult - by my count, wt ticks 9 of the 12 boxes.

  last night i watched a really interesting video (link below) put out by an ex-mormon site discussing the heaven's gate cult.

  the person interviewed had a unique perspective in that he had firsthand contact with that group, specifically the house they lived in and the aftermath.

  from barbara:.

  my dear husband, joe anderson, has had very real problems with his short-term memory for at least a year which really worried me.

  144,000 + 1 kings

  by moomanchu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder why so many kings are needed for the millennial reign?

  the almighty governing body says 24,000,000,000 people combined from those resurrected and the survivors of the big 'a' could make it into paradise.

  that gives you 1 king for every 166,665 persons.

  U.K to remove time limit for Abuse Cases.

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  at present the u.k has a preposterous rule that cases of csa can only be brought within three years of the victim turning 18.. this time limit meant that many cases did not go to court, as the poor victims did not feel able to talk about their ordeals at that age.

  the time limit of 3 years will be removed, at last, as was recommended by the independent inquiry in to csa back in 2022.. kim harrison, president of the association of personal injury lawyers, said the three-year deadline was "wholly inappropriate".. "it will now be the burden of defendants to prove that the passage of time has created an unfair trial, rather than on the victim or survivor to prove a fair trial is possible," she said.. j.w.

  paedophiles will now be brought to justice.
