There is a law of averages. The more that fight against the positions of the WT regarding their CA policies, the more chance that someone will win and win BIG. Conti's case is taking longer than I expected. However, with regard to the legalities involved...THAT is a good thing. If she wins, the floodgates will open and the damage will be insufferable...

Even if the WTS wins its appeals, it loses
by sir82 inthe thought occurs to me that even if the wts wins its appeals, it loses.. suppose that conti, lopez, the other 8 cases tied to campos, and even dozens more cases to come are overturned on appeal.. (1) the wts will have built a reputation of secrecy & mishandling.
a lone crackpot or 2 might file a case against a big corporation in hopes of getting something out of a settlement, but if there are dozens & dozens of litigants, most of whom prefer to go to court to air the "dirty laundry" instead of seeking a settlement, what does that say?.
(2) it's not exactly an appealing message for the wts to say "ha ha!

As difficult a read as it is for the non-muslim, I have read the koran. I got it from an information table at the mall, Yes it was quite surreal as I thought it was a JW table at first. I was intrigued by all the similarities between it and the Old Testament. In many respects, they follow parallel paths up until Ishmael as far as lineage go. It is replete with directives against the infidel, but so is the Old Testament.
As may of the Jewish faith do not subscribe to the tenets of ancient Judaism, so, the moderate Muslim may not subscribe to the actual interpretation of the Koran. There is a defined conflict between the moderate and the radical. Those with whom I have spoken are similar to JW's in a certain respect, namely, that they find it difficult to speak against the radical side due to fear of reprisals. Sounds quite similar to many on this forum.

If he can order the extermination of entire races of people and justify the bloodlust of HIS people, he can take out one Prophet who claimed to be his son, don't you think?

Hypocritical video on jw.org "what's a real friend."
by stuckinarut2 inhave you watched the 4 min animated white board drawing video on jw.org called "what's a real friend?".
it is one of the most hypocritical pieces they have produced!.
it goes into detail explaining that real friends "don't judge you, dont talk about you behind your back, don't hold grudges, don't expect you to conform, and encourage individuality!".

You can have NO REAL FRIENDS in the Watchtower. There are only people who drives buses and others that will throw you under them.

Oh, YES that is proof positive! Nostradamus guessed at a lot of things as well but I don't call him a prophet to be believed in. By the way, I have some fields of wheat that are producing enormously well....it's almost a miracle!

People have the RIGHT to believe what they want to believe. I have Catholic friends, Protestant, Jewish and yes...Muslim. I don't care what they believe, nor do I expect them to try to justify their beliefs. In the end, I have chosen friends with whom I share common interests NOT common beliefs.
