What do you do.......
by Heather inwhen your jw family member tells you it would have been so much better if you had just faded instead of daing yourself.
that to them daing yourself is much worse then dfing yourself.
if only you had hung in there and faded they would treat you as family but now it tears at them that they can't talk to you.

The WTBTS is selling land in Brooklyn to settle sex abuse lawsuits
by What-A-Coincidence inla archdiocese could sell land to settle sex abuse lawsuitsposted on sun, dec. 03, 2006. los angeles - the archdiocese of los angeles could end up selling off some of its vast southern california land holdings to help cover the cost of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in sex abuse settlement payments.. the nation's largest roman catholic archdiocese said friday it will pay $60 million to settle 45 abuse lawsuits.
as many as 485 suits are still pending.. to make the payments, the archdiocese may unload some of its roughly 1,600 area properties, valued at $4 billion, the los angeles times reported today.. while most of the properties are devoted to churches and schools, the archdiocese also owns oil wells, farm parcels, parking lots, and commercial buildings.. the debate over whether to sell the land is likely to focus on who controls parish holdings - church officials or the parishioners.. seeking to limit the plaintiffs' access to archdiocese assets, cardinal roger mahony has claimed that churches and schools belong to individual parishes, and officials do not have the authority to sell them.. but church scholars said mahony has nearly unchecked authority to liquidate church property, ultimately answering only to the pope.. "the cardinal can sell whatever he wants," said charles zech, an economics professor at villanova university.
"each bishop or each cardinal is the 'pope' of his archdiocese.".

this changed for me last night, though.
