Luhe— Edit: Yes— what the fuck is going on? It looks like inept governing. Should be a matter of law not religion.

Luhe— read what l said. All of it. Justice has been lazy in this whole mess of the sex gangs. It was needed a long time back for those girls. They were “throw-aways” from society. And finally there was outrage.
when the law is absent for any body at any time there will come a reckoning.
l read a lot of Tommy’s background long before this post. And of the rape groomers—they were given a pass. Stop reacting. Read. Please.

A song about us and for us Ex-JW's that has lyrics we can all relate to
by StoneWall ini've known many talented witnesses and ex-jw's that could compose music,write novels, paint portraits etc.
but i think this is the best art-form(music,songwriting and composing) that i have personally seen/heard so far that puts what so many of us have experienced and endured into words.i used to listen to r.e.m.
's song "losing my religion" and think how great it would be if someday an ex-jw could do a song that would apply even more to us.

zeb- Thanks for putting that on my radar. Memoirs of this sort are wonderful. The life that she lead happens more often than not— But rarely do people write about it. Too often they are swallowed by shame, drugs or alcohol. Or religion. If they find “normality” they hold on by being silent.
My own stint in down-and-out Dublin in 1973-74 woke me from illusions of a world that rewarded the honest hardworking poor. The Catholic Church had not been discovered to be the repressive monster in that has since prove to be ( they passed that referendum a few days ago!) Later l would read Frank McCourt, Nuala O'Faolain , Ruth Park (lrish in the Sydney slums) and others whose memoirs and stories helped me understand my own life and the lives l saw in Ireland. I began to see a world where saints and sinners were wrapped in the same hide. Life’s game favors some over others. from the time they draw breath. Humans think they make the game with rules but l saw a mad scrum where desperate people struggled for survival. I lived with young Irish who didn’t have a chance. My own toe-hold in middle class America was a great advantage that l had never realized til my year in Dublin. And now l see the same goes on here.
It was the beginning of looking at the world through a different lens. I think that any uncomfortable read is a good thing. Always.

Freddo- I agree with what you said about Tommy Robinson‘s breach of the terms of this freedom. The law is the law. Law is what protects the least among us. Law.
But where is the law now?
When injustice is allowed, favoritism of one sort or another, there will be trouble coming.
I am afraid that Tommy Robinson’s tactics have muddied the water in this business. But the fact does remain that the powers are violating freedoms by putting fear on people for simply wanting to know what is going on. Journalists need to be brave. Newspapers have to be brave. Serve without prejudice.
Meanwhile, the judge who sentenced him also ordered the British media not to report on his case. Newspapers that had already posted reports of his arrest quickly took them down. Even ordinary citizens who had written about the arrest on social media removed their posts, for fear of sharing Robinson's fate. All this happened on the same day.
Justice has been lazy in this whole mess of the sex gangs. It was needed a long time back for those girls. They were “throw-aways” from society. And finally there was outrage.
As Freddo says, take a long look at what’s going on. It is possible that there were other non-Muslims involved in this mess. In the US there are sex traffickers that we’re hiding in business communities. This idea that Muslims are/were the only ones that did this is absolutely stupid. Really stupid. It would be no surprise that peeling back this chaos you discovered that the authorities would rather have riots over “dirtyMuslims” than show how truly corrupt and heartless they’ve been about sex trafficking among vulnerable populations.
Insist on Justice. Make it serve everyone.
edit: not to say that Britain doesn’t have a problem with Muslim radicals. I have tried to keep up with that. And I saw an interview time he did with an MP who is of a sort that l thought was sensible. My view from across the pond.

Georgia jury awards 1 BILLION DOLLARS after guard rapes 14 year old teen
by Esse quam videri inhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/georgia-jury-awards-dollar1-billion-after-guard-rapes-teen/ar-aaxi4l2?li=bbnbfcl.
the public is getting very upset at the abuse of children.
how would the society survive if hit with this kind of award for the conduct of pedophile members when evidence shows they were trying to silence the victim by threats to protect the watchtower's reputation.

Under the radar—I wish they were more information also. But I gather it is the agency that hired this fellow that has the $1 billion judgment. He was not a licensed guard. He was armed. He raped this young girl in public, violently and in front of her boyfriend.
The message is that sexual assault is a damaging crime.The message is that governing bodies of corporations are responsible for their agents. It is expected that the security agency will appeal.
The WT is cruelly contemptuous of the harm to rape victims.The award should make the GB sweat. The world has greater outrage for such sexual abuse than Christ’s Brothers.

Stirred- your post made me go back and find Giordano’s post. Good indeed! This would make schools secure.
The pathology may find its way to other venues—theatres, shopping malls, play grounds. And has . The U.S. is so susceptible to young men killing a mass of young helpless others.Why?

The dishonesty of JWs vs mainstream churches
by Wonderment inone of the most vexing matters confronting us as christians has to do with the apparent lack of honesty of so-called "christian" teachers on the many issues they frequently talk about.

Perry, It says Mr. Roboto said there is no certainty about these writings. As for oral traditions l used to grasp at this straw- it was an old man, Polycarp, who had been taught directly from the apostle John. He was martyred. That’s it end of story. It probably would’ve been martyred for not believing in the Trinity if you lived in a little longer. The point is so-called Christian writings are a mixed bag.
At some point whether you’re a believer or not you have to take ownership for what you’re doing independent of writings. If you have to have some authority that you’re acting on you be taking orders from some maniac sometime
