384 Priests Defrocked Over Abuse in 2 Years
by ShirleyW inthe above is title taken directly from the nytimes.com and below is just a snippet of the article.. i specifically recall when my mother used to do the dial-in when she was sick, i heard a brother mention in the wt study make a comment about the catholic church and all the child molestations going on (knowing damn well that the same thing was going on in the borg) all i have to say is at least they're making an effort to get rid of the problem by getting rid of the offenders, instead of telling them to "study more" or go out the in preaching service to rid themselves of the problem.
"the vatican defrocked 260 priests for the sexual abuse of children in 2011 and 124 more in 2012 after the scandal exploded in europe and beyond and bishops forwarded hundreds of cases to the vatican, according to statistics compiled by the associated press.. the numbers were confirmed by the vatican on friday, and were based on statistics published in its annual reference books.
two vatican officials had the statistics in hand but never cited them when they defended the churchs handling of sexual abuse cases before a united nations panel in geneva on thursday.

Bro at table set up wouldn't answer question (but still counted his time)
by ShirleyW ini asked when they would start offering gray bible and she said two weeks, then the only bro at the table saw my headphones in my hand started in by saying " i see you're plugged in, do you have a smartphone?
to which i said no, because i just had a feeling that must've been a new angle to tell folks about the new bible app.the sis said they would start offering it in two weeks the bro goes on to mention that you can download the app and you get the bible in five different languages and mentions some other stuff you can do onthe app, i said all this technology reminds when the society admonished you all to stay away from the interenet about 25 years ago .
you should've seen his face, he was smiling but was thinking "how does show know" behind that smile.

Dateline about FLDS Warren Jeffs tonight
by ShirleyW inwithin the first two minutes when the word "apostate" was mentioned i said "gee, i think i'm being reminded of something here", show hasn't been on for a half hour yet and i already heard so many similarities.
i wonder how many dubs are watching tonight and doing the usual, "can you believe such a group exists?
how extremely blind they are, or to be fair i guess i should say brianwashed.

by ShirleyW insaw two separate kiosk setups today that had the awake displayed with the cover story being "pornography, is it toxic or .
.
(the other word i can't remember).. i was in a hurry today so really didn't have time to stop and talk and ask the brother exactly how much research did the society do for this article, to which he would probably say true chrtistians don't watch porn, to which i would've asked then since you jws claim you don't lie then someone must've watched some porn films so they know what they're talking about and have their facts straight, or is the article just speculation..

Brother with Parkinson's Disease out in service
by ShirleyW inhe was in one of the subway stations here peddling the mags, can't say for sure if he has parkinson's, but his body had "the shakes" that folks get if they have it,he had one crutch up under his shoulder to support him and he had a four pronged cane for his other hand, which he wasn't using.i just had to say something to him, i asked him why is he doing this and he said "we're commanded to do so" then i asked if he felt alright because he certainly didn't look it and he said "well, not really since all the cuts in medicaid and other medical services" so, obviiously we wasn't doing to well at all.
i said you don't have to do this, what scripture in the bible says you have to turn in your time, there's no scripture that says that, and surprisingly he said with a bit of hesitattion "well, i guess you're right".i said you're just turning in time for the governing body, you're just doing it for them and i said a few other things and he didn't say a word, usually, they don't even let you get that far without offering up an argument or quoting some scripture, he just stood there and listened.
i actually felt sorry for him, he wasn't elderly and if he can get around with his crutches that's good, but he doesn't need to stand in a subway station obviously suffering and shaking from whatever illness he has just to get his time in.
