  Flipper that is always a possibility. In California, the appeals court judges are elected. You can always support those running against those judges.

  Columbus Circle monument could be next statue to go

  by freemindfade in

  2. current

  christopher columbus could be next on the monuments chopping block.. the 76-foot structure honoring the explorer at columbus circle should be among the statues reviewed by the city for potential purging, city council speaker melissa mark-viverito said on monday.. http://nypost.com/2017/08/21/columbus-circle-monument-could-be-next-statue-to-go/.

  if this goes on, these people are just validating what the orange one said, where will it stop?

  how will people 200 years from now look back on us?

  I had a history teacher that would put Columbus on trial every year with his class on Columbus day. the teacher would charge him with genocide and crimes against humanity.

  Agree or not but it is a win because the court ruled for all of California that a case like that punitive damages is not appropriate nor does watchtower have a duty to warn or a duty to protect. That will save them a ton in future cases.

  How Long it will take to the GB change the interpretation of the Beast as the UN?

  by Ray Frankz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just realized now, (ironically by checking on jw.org) that the echr (european court of human rights), the government agency that has been literally saving the jws to be banned in so many countries - and they are very thankful for that, as they say in their recent purple history book - is an agency of the un!.

  as it is well known, the gb consider the un as a high-class enemy of god's kingdom, believing it is the beast mentioned in revelation.

  this interpretation was totally from f. franz and n. knorr, this last one still being reagarded every now and then as the one who gave the speech with this "new light".

  The ECHR is not part of the UN. The ECHR was formed by the Council of Europe and was formed by treaties signed by each country that is part of that council and recognizes the court.

  I wouldn't say his name but I am like 90% sure I know exactly who he is. And for as long as I have known him he has always been pretty straight forward with me about his feelings.

  I actually think I know this former CO. As he won't provide his name, but he sounds very similar to someone that I know.

  The court of appeals just received the last brief in this case. The case has been fully briefed, it is just waiting for it to be docketed for oral arguments.

  New Research at AJWRB

  by Lee Elder in

  2. medical

  the latest research article published at ajwrb estimates the number of jehovah's witnesses who have died from following or being coerced to follow watchtower's blood policy.

  the numbers are staggering.

  Lee Elder I have read the article, I have read the references, I have read the thread. I don't have a problem with the numbers I have a problem with your methodology. You say that I should have a problem with the people who created the estimating methodology, but that is your organization. When you speak of a Medical Adviser and a Science Adviser when they create these numbers they are representing you and your organization.

  Again you never once speak of the limitations of the methodology that was used. It is one thing if you are just saying that this is what you think but you yourself have called this a research project. You are trying to give it more credibility by saying it is research done by an organization that has a Medical Adviser and a Science Adviser. I am not even bringing up that nowhere do you speak of either adviser's credential. If you want to say it is your opinion then you should say that in your article.
