  I have a question for you. You are a therapist correct? What is your ethical and legal obligation if a patient of yours comes in and tells you that he has committed a crime, even a crime of child abuse?

  I swear I am not trying to get into a debate. But the process did work.

  But here the process worked. The person was DF'd but also the police were contacted and the man convicted. No one knows what is another person's mind and what their intentions are. It is what happens after something comes to light that matters, and here no one can say anything following the allegations was done improper.

  Some powerful stuff against the WT

  by Giordano in

  in another thread a poster has been in a pitched fight with others about the results from the arc.

  trying to explain away the results and minimizing the damages.

  what he has failed to understand is that the society had and still does have certain policies in place that hide the sexual abuse of minors.

  The ARC is not a court.

  And they have only lost one case that has gone to trial.

  There is a motion for Summary Judgement and there is a hearing on this on 4/14/2017. It will be interesting to see how the judge will rule.

  2520-607 = 1913

  by schnell in

  i love math, i love calendars, and somehow, this always gets me.. 2520 - 607 = 1913. not 1914.. 2520 - 606 = 1914. from what i understand, russell realized this.

  he had previously used 606 bc, of course, but then he switched it to 607 bc.

  i know there was something about no zero year, so it actually should be less one, correct?.

  The whole year zero is real. That is why the millennium was actually 2001 and not 2000. Whole numbers start at 1 so 2000 from year 1 is 2001

  disfellowshipped1:

  I was looking on Westlaw and LexisNexis and neither has any information on this case, though both really only have case details when it hits an appeals court. I don't have a PACER account so I could not locate any information on the Courts Website. Apparently unlike the trial court in San Diego, even though it is a public website and the information is publically accessible, you need to be registered with the PACER system to be able to search for it.
