Execution in United States Are You For It?
by jayhawk1 infrom the ap.... raleigh, n.c. - a man who killed his wife and father-in-law pinned his hopes on last-minute intervention from the governor or the courts as he awaited lethal injection early friday in the nation's 1,000th execution since capital punishment resumed in 1977. kenneth lee boyd, set to die at 2 a.m., spent the day receiving visitors, including two sons who watched him gun down their mother and grandfather in 1988. .
my questions are; are you for or against the death penalty?
what was your opinion of the death penalty as a jehovah's witness?.

Another evolution court case
by SeymourButts inwhen are the iders and creationists going to give up on their preposterous idea of teaching this stuff in the school system?
updated: 01:08 pm edtnew evolution spat in u.s. schools goes to courtby jon hurdle, reuters.
philadelphia (reuters) - a new battle over teaching about man's origins in u.s. schools goes to court for the first time next week, pitting christian conservatives against educators and scientists in a trial viewed as the biggest test of the issue since the late 1980s.. eleven parents of students at a pennsylvania high school are suing over the school district's decision to include "intelligent design" -- an alternative to evolution that involves a god-like creator -- in the curriculum of ninth-grade biology classes.. the parents and the american civil liberties union (aclu) say the policy of the dover area school district in south-central pennsylvania violates the constitutional separation of church and state, which forbids teaching religion in public schools.. they also argue that intelligent design is unscientific and has no place in a science curriculum.. intelligent design holds that nature is so complex it must have been the work of an god-like creator rather than the result of natural selection, as argued by charles darwin in his 1859 theory of evolution.. the school board says there are "gaps" in evolution, which it emphasizes is a theory rather than established fact, and that students have a right to consider other views on the origins of life.

How to brainwash only part of your brain.
by Ingenuous ini was talking to a mental health professional (don't remember her credentials) about jws.
part of what i couldn't get my brain around was how jws (myself included, when i was "in") can seem to function so well in other areas, but so easily and completely give up their minds to others when it comes to the org.
the behavior seems so irrational and deluded, with so many cognitive distortions at work, that healthy functioning in other areas would appear precluded.
