    Deacon, What can you say? For some it is more than an academic exercise to deal with these subjects. For them it is best to look away. If you were advocating this view I would tear you up, since it is essentially a send up, and expose, of the foolishness of the WT Society I see it as more telling than humorous. If feel for those offended but see the place this has in the panoply of anti matter. Keep these things coming, you can't hit a home run with everyone. I have loved them in general... W.Once

    My aim isn't for outright hilarity every time. I eventually hope that these parodies will cause Witnesses who get their hands on them to actually think.

    This is not making light of Rape, rather a spoof of the borgs chauvenistic treatment of women.

    I was a victim of rape and I'm not offended by the spoof. I get that it's aimed at the lack of epathy on the part of the elders and the society and their willingness to blame the victim (What were you wearing to provoke that brother?) instead of helping.

    In this world everyone is to blame. You can get rear ended in your car while your driving the speed limit and they will assign a percent of blame because you were there and did not stay in bed that day. Wacky world and the wacky lawyers.

    So true it scares me.

    Yes rape is detestable, but in my my opinion, this wasn't glorifying rape in any way, it was criticizing the wt's "handling" of it.

    For what it's worth.

    Keep em comin.

    You are a comedian.

    A very intelligent one.

    The best comedians push the envelope. People get offended.

    You're doing it right.

    Keep it coming.

    Don't get discouraged.

    Humor is a powerful way to talk about horrible things.

    You do so skillfully.

    Thank you, deaconbluez.

    ditto, and ditto - humor is a powerful way to overcome/take over horrible things

    (again it's all contextual).

    Diane Wilson's book has a chapter that tells about the society's flip flop on the question of rape and fornication. Your post "You won't believr it" hits the nail right on the head, believe it.
