the vatican lawyers claim that ratzinger is immune to being called for testimony in the rapidly expanding child abuse scandal - because "he is a head of state".. looks like they are hiding under their desks again..

Non-JWs in relationships with JWs - tough questions
by JWoods ini have noticed multiple threads here by faded jws, non-jws, dfd jws, and so on in marriages or relationships with a hard-core jw.. these are some of the most wrenching emotional situations we read about here on jwn.
for sure the jw religion has done everything they possibly can to make life miserable for the non-jw partner.. i wanted to do a thread on the subject in general without putting this on the specific personal threads - a hard, tough, question:.
is it really worth it to live a lifetime in this kind of mentally abusive relationship?.

Leader of missionary arrested in Haiti faces many legal issues at home...
by JWoods inhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35243272/ns/world_news-haiti_earthquake/.
i just saw this background article on the woman who was the leader of the "baptist missionary group" who were arrested by haiti for illegally trying to sneak out some haitian kids through the dominican republic.. looks like there is a pretty spotty background - many legal problems in her former state, foreclosure on a 350k house, lawsuits for failure to pay wages in some internet shopping business, etc.
how did she expect to actually care for these kids, anyway?.

Who could be banned for life from serving as an Elder?
by JWoods inno, i didn't mean sisters.
seriously - two or three things made me think about it:.

What is the true nature of the JW position on abortion?
by JWoods init just occurs to me that it is a little strange that the jw religion makes such an enormous issue out of blood transfusions, but there seems to be very little editorializing in the publications on the issue of abortion -.
i know they are against it on principle, but why so little public position?
maybe because that moral ground is already taken by many fundamentalists, and they just can't stand to not be the one and only voice on the subject?.
