Watchtower Society Fate?
by mind blown infrom what i'm seeing on other sites many are now coming out of the woodwork to file charges against the wts.. in all reality with the conti case payout, could the wts and individual congregations (also having to pay) really sustain these blows?
and if so how would this play out?

Serious Dissent Now Blowing The Roof Off Of Scientology
by mind blown inhttp://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/06/scientology_roanne_leake_ron_miscavige_sr.php.
multiple sources are telling the voice that scientology's international base in california has experienced stunning new defections -- roanne leake, who is l. ron hubbard's granddaughter, has "blown" the base, which was her home for more than 20 years.
but just as shocking, at about the same time, the base was also abandoned by david miscavige's father, ron miscavige sr.. we sent a request for comment to scientology spokeswoman karin pouw, but have not received a reply.

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes split due to religious fears!
by mind blown inword on the street is though katie holmes knew cruise is deep into scientology, she now has a better understading of this cult and wants to protect their child from the cult.
i guess tom and scientology has turned his and nicole kidman's kids against kidman.
now that suri is coming of age, holms does not want suri to become a scientologiest and is afraid this same outcome will befall her if she doesn't get full custody of suri .. the interesting thing is holmes is going to have to prove scientology is dangerous to her child and new york is not a joint custody/friendly state.

by mind blown inwonder how jw germans get around the blood/issue doctrine?.
http://news.yahoo.com/german-court-outlaws-religious-circumcision-172728400.html.
circumcising young boys on religious grounds amounts to grievous bodily harm, a german court ruled tuesday in a landmark decision that the jewish community said trampled on parents' religious rights.. the regional court in cologne, western germany, ruled that the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed thefundamental rights of the parents", a judgement that is expected to set a legal precedent.. "the religious freedom of the parents and their right to educate their child would not be unacceptably compromised, if they were obliged to wait until the child could himself decide to becircumcised," the court added.. the case was brought against a doctor in cologne who had circumcised a four-year-old muslim boy on his parents' wishes.. a few days after the operation, his parents took him to hospital as he was bleeding heavily.

by mind blown inamerican nuns come out swinging against vatican in face of radical feminist accusationsby dan gilgoff, cnn.com religion editor.
(cnn) the leadership representing most of americas nuns came out swinging friday against the leaders of the roman catholic church, in the face of charges from the vatican that the nuns are espousing radical feminism and straying from church teaching.. the vaticans criticism of the american nuns has caused scandal and pain throughout the church community, and created greater polarization, the leadership conference of women religious - which represents about 80% of american nuns - said in a statement friday.. the board of the group had convened in washington this week for three days of special meetings, provoked by an april assessment from the vatican that said americas nuns had largely gone rogue and warned that they could be a negative global influence on the church.. .
the vatican report said that at an annual gathering of the leadership conference of women religious, guest speakers who preached "radical feminism" went unchallenged.
