I voted this year for the first time. It felt great. I did it because the initiatives here in CA were important. I don't know about the Presidential election. Seems futile. Probably will if Mickey Mouse is running again though he may be a libertarian. I voted in the next city over, the county seat, where no one would be because it was the voting headquarters and It would seem I was on court business or something. To vote in my own little city would be inviting disaster. Usually its a school gym or civic center where they vote here. Next time I'll vote via mail, its more convenient any way.

I am thinking about voting
by Bucholz inso, i am thinking about voting for the first time in my life.
even though there is a questions from readers article that basically mentioned it is a conscience matter, we all know what the unwritten rule is.. problem is, even though i'm mentally out, i'm still physically in.
do you think that if i'm seen at the polling station by the witnesses i could suffer any consequences?

It is highly unlikely that the court abides by the "two witness" rule. If they put all the evidence out, he should have been convicted. Just the word of the alleged victim should have been enough. The jury is not going to want to see any physical evidence because there likely would be none. It is highly unusual for a victim NOT to be believed. I'm sure there is more to this than those fools not testifying though they should have done so. These cases are seldom simple. I hope that he is in fact innocent.

I disagree. I have a large following of ex witnesses. Three in fact, Me, Myself and I. We go everywhere together. We are out to get THEM.

C.T.Russell..did you know............
by Snoozy indid you know that the man that helped form the jehovah's witness religion only had 7 years of schooling?.
"in june 1912 reverend j.j. ross, pastor of the james street baptist church in hamilton, ontario, published the pamphlet, some facts about the self-styled 'pastor' charles t. russell, denouncing russell, his qualifications as a minister, and his moral example as a pastor.
russell promptly sued ross for "defamatory libel".

Russell stipulated in his will that nothing more was to be added to the Studies and that they should stick with what he taught. Ol'Joe blew it off and started writing his rainbow books. The old poop got a mansion with a pool in San Diego out of the deal.

Dinner hand-holding prayer at someone else's house (or at a restaurant)
by Elsewhere in.
as an atheist, i do not pray, however sometimes i will go to someone's house or to a restaurant for dinner and the others at the table will hold hands and pray.. when this happens, i politely decline and abstain while they do their thing.. .
is it rude for an atheist to politely decline to participate in a hand-holding group prayer, or is the act of hand-holding prayer a form of religious coercion and itself rude?.

Just be honest and do what makes you comfortable. If you have no problem with your view causing them discomfort then go ahead. If you want to let things roll along and not have any interruption hold hands. The answer is in your hands... Grasshopper.

Mississippi pushes back on the Westboro Baptist Church
by rebel8 inhttp://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/praise-citizens-rankin-county-mississippi_557677.html.
they were in town to protest a soldier's funeral...and this allegedly happened.
a couple of days before, one of them ran his mouth at a brandon gas station and got his ass waxed.

This is slippery ground. It is harrassment and illegal to falsely detain somone. What if it were the other way around, someone protesting in front of the Westboro Church and the County did that to them, don't think for a minute there wouldn't be legal action. Free speech is just a burden we must bear. Hate to say it but anytime the law screws with people and gets away with it there is an opening for abuse. I think it already was abuse of authority. I like it better when the locals organize and have an equally legal demonstration of support for the funeral folks and position themselves in front of the WestB nutters. An ordinance that would keep protesters a decent distance from the venue wouldn't hurt. That is legal.

Brother CBOE to the Secretary of your congregation: "Looks like the "Evilone" has been missing meetings. What happened to him? Secretary: "I heard they moved." Chairman: "Where to?" Secretary: "No one knows". Chairman: Not even family?" Secretary: "Not even his family. He just dropped off the earth." Chairman: "Well, I guess we can't transfer his card anywhere. Better just leave it in the box I'm sure he'll show up." Three weeks later the Secretary asks the Chairman; "Any one heard from the Evilone?" The Chairman: "Who?" Move and don't sweat it.

Thank God they didn't attribute this to the Lord, or did they? I didn't watch the big wrap up because I'm diabetic and all that sugar sweetness was causing my blood sugar to spike.

Unemployed, lazy minded, bigoted fools. They did thier dirty work and deserve to be punished. Won't happen I'm sure. So sorry those witnesses had to suffer that. A little knowledge would have kept them out of that building but they reject learning things objectively. If only they would listen they wouldn put themselves in line for fools like this to abuse. Thanks FDS.
