Sorry, but I have nothing good to say about this. I claim a reviewer's right to throw my hands up in horror. It is a mystifying attempt at gimmickry. Witness the lyric "We're the pirates of JC, finding treasure where we be." And I would credit even the most stubborn listener with more discernment than to plough through "Heaven Is Better Than A Bouncy Castle" (title) or the sound-alike "Grand Old Judge Of God". The project is targeted at children but the whole outing takes itself far too seriously for that - and if adults are meant to be impressed, you'd be hard-pressed to get the joke; the concepts are incomprehensible, the music, incoherent and you never get any time to "tune in". Everything about it is embarrassing, from the erratic, schizo playing to the forced, nasal vocals and endless sound-library fillers. It is so bad, I bet it would be amazing 'live' in the hands of an inspired multi-media producer, as pure Theatre Of The Absurd. However, on the deck, it is a mess; there is no creativity or flow, just a smash-and-grab where anything goes to get a track over with. This home-grown effort makes excruciating listening.

Pop CD
£9.97 £10.00
A concept album from Brit Trevor Howard which takes in rock, reggae, country, dance, and much more.
This is one of those CDs where you either 'get it' or don't. Play it in a room full of kids with a packet of crisps and cherry cola then the reviewers view may change.
My 7 year olds fave is 'Heaven is better than a bouncy castle'. Mine is 'Who made the monkeys' with its animal sound fx.
The music is idiosyncratic. One does not normally mix acoustic guitar with an acid beat but this could be the future. The synth backing to 'Grand old judge kinda works.
The final song sounds like the smurfs which makes you think 'Uh?' and then play the whole CD again.
I have to agree with Mr Medway here - the kids love this stuff - I've heard it "live" and Solid Rock is an utter classic... God Loves You is possibly the best ever Keep-Fit/Worship crossover song ever ... and as for "Bouncy Castle" - just think yourelf into a 7-year-old head and enjoy !!!!

So what does all this advancement mean for your church when it comes to connecting with people today? Culture has new expectations for how the church should connect with them and their busy lives.
Most churches rely on Sunday announcements, print bulletins, and their website to keep people informed and connected with the church. Unfortunately research shows this to be an increasingly less effective way to get people to connect with the church. So the question arises, what is a more effective way to connect with today's culture? In order to properly answer this question we need to take a look at what today's culture values when it comes to you connecting with their busy lives. Our research shows there are three major communication values you must understand to effectively connect with them. These communication values are unique to today. They represent a significant shift in the medium (how) and timing (when) culture now prefers to connect.
1. Flexibility – Today's culture is fast paced and overbooked.
People desire things to work around their life so they can fit more in. They value the ability to manage when and what comes into their time and space. Flexibility is a must! DVR's, instant messaging, social media and mobile apps are just a few examples of how they accomplish this. They can record a show and watch when it fits their schedule. They can check Facebook when they want, post while on the go, and also leave a message for a friend at their convenience. If they enjoy a particular company or service they can download their app, allowing them to directly connect at their will with everything that company or service has in one convenient place. They love this because they have the ability to do so as it fits into their schedule.
2. Mobility – Today's culture is mobile in nature.
Mobile devices are the choice of today's culture! In the last 5 years there has been a 'Mobile Revolution" in all age groups. Mobile smartphone sales are expected to increase by millions this next year. Tablet sales in 2014 are expected to grow by 70% say many analysts. Computer sales are expected to decrease for the first time ever by more than 10%. These statistics point to a clear change in the means of device people are communicating on today. People are using their mobile device to replace their PC and laptop in many situations. It's easier to take with them, it stays connected on the go, and it has become a status symbol in most social circles.
3. Inclusivity – Today's culture is opinionated and they value all opinions being heard, including theirs.
The old saying goes "people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care". Well, today's culture would say "People don't care how much you know, until they know you know how much they know". People want their opinion heard! They want to be included in every conversation. This is why social media is so huge. Social media allows people to say what they want, when they want, to whom they want. The best way to communicate that you value people's opinions is to have a means of social interaction wherever you are asking people to engage with your church. Don't be mistaken, this has become a communication value for people of all ages today. Keeping these communication values of flexibility, mobility and inclusivity in mind will help you greatly as you try to connect with culture in 2014.
Conclusion: It's time to rethink two major things.
- How – Are you using the best mediums to connect with people today (resizeable website, mobile apps, E-News, emails, Facebook, etc.)? Do you incorporate flexibility, mobility, and inclusivity in them? (Changing the medium, not the message).
- When – Are you allowing people flexibility in the timing your mediums are used? Staying relevant with the timing and functionality of your mediums is very important.
NOTE – To read more in-depth on the "how" and "when" of connecting with culture in 2014 please read our next blog "Connecting Church and Culture, Part 2". We would love to hear your opinion, questions or experiences on this topic. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this post.

[This just came in my mailbox, and it's what we must get cracking on. We need to give pro-life suggestions to Trump via greatagain.gov , his transition team website. Also, does anyone have an inroad to Kellyanne Conway? Trump knows she got him in office, so he'll listen to her. Think of names, e.g., Pat Buchanan?]
Please circulate far and wide today
November 13, 20016
Dear Friends of God, Family and Life,
I am sending you this action-directed memo to remind you that with the Trump victory some 4,000 political appointees will be selected to fill the vacancies left by Obama personnel. Hopefully some of the unnecessary appointments will simply be eliminated, but there will remain important jobs for prolife people to fill in every government department especially in the Health and Human Services area which handles domestic population control programs like the "Stop the Stork" Campaign, and the U.S. Agency for International Development which handles the foreign population control agenda.
I recently looked at the priorities of the Trump Transitional Team and did not see "Pro-Life Matters" listed. I did not see listed the key issue of POPULATION CONTROL [aka government 'family planning' programs'] which embraces government promotion of surgical abortion, abortifacients, sterilization, contraception, sex initiation programs, euthanasia, homosexuality, transgender surgery, and other anti-life programs and policies.
It appears the prolife wheel better start squeaking if we want to be heard.
Please go to www.greatagain.gov which will get you to the Trump Transition Team site. On the right of the screen hit "Share Your Ideas" and write in "Prolife Matters, and your comments in the "My Story" space.
I have already sent in my suggestions for Surgeon General [Dr. Paul Byrne] ; Advisor to the President on Prolife Affairs – non-paying position [Rep. Robert Marshall of Virginia, author of the prolife legislative guide Bayonets and Roses] ; Director for the Office of Population Affairs/USAID [Marielena Stuart]; Head of the Food and Drug Administration [Bogomir M. Kuhar, head of Pharmacists for Life International, or someone appointed by him]; Assistant Director for Population Affairs [Steven Mosher, Population Research Institute].
I see that President Elect Trump has been toying with a dangerous States Rights approach to abortion rather than a no-exception Human Life Amendment which would acknowledge the "personhood" of the unborn child. The March for Life next January will be a big boost for the latter. We need to press this point.
Also, the Homosexual Collective is already on the move. They are opposing the appointment of Ken Blackwell as Domestic Advisor because Mr. Blackwell states the truth –
Homosexuality is a choice and is not inborn. So you may want to state for President Trump's edification that government should support virtue NOT vice. No federal funds for the Homosexual Collective. Period.
I am sure you have some ideas for appointments of your own. Now is the time to express them.
Let the Transition Team understand PROLIFE MATTERS!!! Randy Engel, Director, U.S. Coalition for Life, Box 315, Export, PA 15632 724 327 7379

This is the time of year when everyone seems to be talking about resolutions. I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions; instead of assigning some magical meaning to January 1st, I prefer to commit myself to whatever change I feel I need as soon as I've identified that need. Waiting for New Year's Day seems to be just procrastination.
Still, there does seem to be an undeniable attraction to these resolutions. The end of one year marks a good time for reflection, and the start of a new year marks a natural starting point. This is especially appealing to runners, who measure much of their lives by start and finish lines.
So rather than fight it, I'm going to jump in and add some ideas on what to aim for in setting resolutions.
Set a New Goal – whether trying a new race distance or aiming for a PR, this is a good time to raise the bar on what you can do.
Add to your routine – most of us are painfully aware of the gaps in our health and fitness routine. Whether it's a lack of stretching, proper nutrition, strength work, or some other regimen, we can all identify something to change on our regular routine. Pick at least one of these and give it a chance.
Do something new – as the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. When we do the same routine over and over too many times, it often does feel like work. Combat that by resolving to trying some new sport or activity this year.

Catawba College
Project Profile
Solar Electric, Solar Hot Water
Earlier in October, Catawba College announced the significant news of being featured in The Princeton Review's Guide to 361 Green Colleges: 2016 Edition, receiving an impressive rating of 92 on a scale of 60-99. "We are pleased to be included in this green guide and believe that Catawba's inclusion speaks directly to our institutional focus on and commitment to sustainability," says Catawba College President Brien Lewis of this recognition. "From our landmark megawatt campus solar installation, to projects supported by our Green Revolving Fund and student-led zero-waste campus events, we are walking the walk of environmental responsibility."
"It is imperative that institutions of higher learning set an example for sustainability," concurs Dr. John Wear, Director of the College's Center for the Environment , saying that Catawba is proud to be the vanguard of solar energy adoption on campuses. Indeed, Catawba College will produce more solar-generated electricity than all other North Carolina colleges and universities combined, according to Mike Nicklas, President of Innovative Design, a long- standing company with a mission centered around buildings that are energy-efficient and environmentally sound. Nicklas led the project as a consultant for the College's 2030 Green Step Initiative, an impressive commitment which aims to achieve campus-wide carbon neutrality by 2030. "When you have a client like Catawba College, with both the leadership and student body having such a clear understanding of the need to pursue a sustainable path, it is no surprise to me that we would eventually end up with one of the most inspiring examples of what every college campus in the nation should be doing to become more sustainable. We are very lucky and proud to be part of such a wonderful effort to advance sustainability," he said of his involvement.
With the installation of campus-wide solar energy systems on eight buildings and a parking lot canopy, the College will be producing approximately 12% of its energy consumption through photovoltaics and solar thermal systems. A significant part of this project was funded by donations, but it was a group of investors that includes board members, alumni, and community leaders that helped make this project feasible. One of the investors, Lee Wallace, says supporting the project has been very gratifying, knowing it will help the College save a considerable amount of money over time (financial savings are projected to be close to $5 million over 20 years and between $10 and $11.9 million over 30 years.) The investors are able to realize tax credits for their investment in the project, and they will donate the systems to the college after six years.
Totaling nearly 1 megawatt of solar electric capacity, 171 kWs of total capacity are interconnected with Duke Energy as net-metered systems, using SolarWorld SW275 modules on five campus buildings. 793 kWs are interconnected as sell-all systems, using Sunpower 327 modules on two buildings and a parking lot canopy array. While the net-metered systems will deliver their electricity (approximately 200 MWh per year) directly to its consumers in the same building, the electricity of the sell-all systems (estimated 1,056 MWh per year) will initially be sold to Duke Energy. The solar thermal systems consists of AET AE 40 collectors and will be used for water heating on five buildings, including two residence halls. All systems are monitored through an impressive web-based system that has a dashboard for each site. This provides production data, as well as ensuring that systems are operating optimally.

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I certainly did! I want to share about my weekend in this blog and highlight some artists, restaurants, and cool places that you might can take tips on and I hope you enjoy the pictures! I also am going to share at the end what I learned from this weekend and I think it will encourage you.
I don't want this blog post to sound like I'm writing in my diary or journal – I want you to like it, enjoy it, take tips from it, and be encouraged! I wouldn't and won't write a blog to brag at my own experiences. I want my readers (you) to feel like you have been encouraged and can take something positive away from my posts. I want to share some of my experiences and what I learn from them only to encourage you and shed some light into your days! If you would like to skip the middle part and go straight to what I learned from this weekend, look for the end paragraph in red!
My friends Kaitlin and Peyton came in for the weekend for the Ben Rector concert and to hang out in Fayetteville!
I first picked them up and took them to Whole Foods (newly opened in Fayetteville) to get some quick dinner and check out the best grocery store ever! And Kaitlin surprised me with two gifts: a stuffed bear and a Project 41 necklace that I have been meaning to buy! Meant SO much to me. She also wrote me such a sweet letter. I am so thankful for her. (btw: go check out that link and donate to a local non-profit organization who is making efforts to stop human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Ouachita Parish area)
The concert was held in the Town Center on Friday and Kaitlin and I enjoyed the awesome view of the mountains and sunset:
Just look at that view! I love Fayetteville so much! Most beautiful place I've lived.
We also took a video and made it on the Arkansas campus story! (big deal to me)
The concert was opened by Marc Scibilia who actually has some cool music, so check him out on iTunes or Spotify. Follow him on Instagram, he has really cool hair and a great voice!
Then an hour and a half later, Ben Rector appeared!!! We were so close to the stage and it was so awesome and so worth it. He sounds just as good live as he does on the radio. He and his band are so talented and put on such a great show!
My favorite part was when we ALL called the hogs! Ben went to the U of A in college and he asked us all to call the hogs (I'd been waiting for that all night). Best moment of the night! We're also seen on Ben Rector's Instagram in the sea of people behind him!
I personally melted in this moment ^
After the concert, I took them to Andy's for amazing frozen custard.
The next day Kaitlin and I ate at Arsaga's at the Depot for such an amazing brunch. The wait wasn't too bad for a busy Saturday. I think we waited 20 minutes and during that wait we enjoyed coffee and tea.
I took this awesome picture of Kaitlin while we were there. My best friend is flawless.
We had a really great waitress who was super cool and down to earth. She saved me from a parking ticket, in fact. I wish I could remember her name but everyone at this place is wonderful and they show love to their customers, even when it's busy! (which is hard to do)
I enjoyed the Brzezinski (honestly not positive that's how you spell that) – but MAN, would you look at that. It was SO GOOD. Great hearty breakfast ready to take a hike in:
Pictured above (what's in the Brzezinski): apples, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, bacon, toast, eggs, and awesome sauce (don't actually know what it is called but it is good)
Kaitlin and I both REALLY enjoyed our food. It's a great place for anyone visiting Fayetteville. Everyone who lives here knows how great it is!
Next, KK and I shopped downtown in such beautiful Saturday Fayetteville weather. I got a steal deal from the Mustache and bought a hogs sweatshirt for 15 bucks. Kaitlin fell in love with Fayetteville and the downtown area.
After KK and I got our shopping done, we all 3 went hiking at Devil's Den State Park and I got to show them one of my favorite trails here! It was a beautiful day for a hike. Not too cold and not too hot. Lots of other people had the same idea! It was packed but super cool that Jesus appreciates the little things and I stumbled right upon someone who was pulling out and I got a parking spot in no time!
Shoutout to Peyton for all the pics of KK and me.
After hiking, we went to Wood Stone Craft Pizza and enjoyed delicious pizza. After that we got ice cream at Chunky Dunk, a local ice cream truck with an adorable pup to entertain you. Then I gave them a tour of the best campus in America (okay I am totally biased) and showed them what I experience every day!
What I learned from this weekend: Honestly, I can enjoy all these things on my own because I know that I'm enjoying them with the Lord, but it is so much more awesome and special when you can enjoy it with loved ones who appreciate it as much as you and who appreciate you. I mean we have all been there when you're with people who bring you down and you think "man, I would enjoy this better without them." Which is 100% true. The experiences are nothing without the people in them. Even if it's just the experience, you, and God, that's blissful. When it's the experience, you, appreciative people, and God, that makes it more special. Community is so important. No one likes to be in such a cool moment but with someone who has something negative to say about it or who doesn't appreciate that you appreciate the moment. But when you can be with people who say, "Wow, this is amazing, I'm so glad I'm experiencing this with you" man, that's a special thing.
Thank you all for checking out my blog today, I hope you enjoy it and you are encouraged by it. I hope your Sunday has been fantastic and that you have spent it with people you love, if you can. If not, make sure you tell someone today that you love them. Often times we can forget how important that is.
xx, Claire

Living the Questions
Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is,to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. — Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to the Young Poet
Years ago I attended a writer's conference with William Kittridge who had taught creative writing at the University of Montana for thirty years. He spoke of how at the start of his teaching career he focused on working with the elements of craft but as the years progressed he found what was most helpful was to ask his students the question, "why do you want to write?". I started using this question in my writing class and discovered that it leads people to the essence of their desire to write which provides a lot of energy for engaging the process.
Later I started seeing the power of asking questions in every area of my life. Asking questions invites the subconscious mind, which represents an estimated 93% of your mind, into the game. Once you give your subconscious mind a question to work on or a problem to solve it will work on it 24/7 to come up with a solution.
I'm sure you have all had the experience of sitting at your desk trying to figure something out with your conscious, rational mind. Then you give up, get in your car, drive home and as you are pulling into your driveway the answer pops into your head. With your conscious mind busy driving your subconscious was able to draw on it's vast tracts of information and insight and reach the surface of your mind with a solution. That's why we often do our best "thinking" when our conscious mind is occupied with a mundane task: like walking, driving, doing the dishes, or taking a shower.
The beauty of questions is that they open up a world of possibilities. Thinking that there is only one answer or leaping to a conclusion is limiting. In creativity as in life it works best to play in the field of "all is possible" with questions like "What if there was another way to do this?" or "What's the best way for solve this problem?".'
When I teach classes or work with coaching clients I'll ask "What are your questions?, What are the questions you need to ask to understand what wants to born in your writing, in your creativity, in your life?" I often use freewriting, where you write without thinking, as a tool for answering the questions I have for myself. Writing is the best tool I know of getting clear on the questions and then accessing an expanded inner wisdom and knowing. Sometimes when I'm struggling with something, I sit down and write the question, "What do I need to know right now?". Inviting more questions. Opening to the possibilities.

Nov 16 2017
On Thursday, 16th of November, our magical Christmas Lights came on once more
The largest lights installation in the capital, 'The Spirit of Christmas' has returned for 2017, reimagined with new colours and additional touches to delight visitors and shoppers alike.
Inspired by our rich festive heritage, the installation harks back to first ever Central London Christmas lights display in 1954 right here on Regent Street.
The stunning showcase of over 300,000 twinkling LED lights lit up the whole of W1, making this the biggest and most spectacular parade of Christmas lights in the capital.
Our annual switch-on event on Thursday 16th November, from 5.30PM onwards, marked the start of this wonderful time of year on Regent Street.
The event was hosted by Heart London's very own Emma Bunton and included incredible performances by Paloma Faith, Clean Bandit, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe.

Archaeology and myth have been made to face each other by a legal order. The Allahabad high court has ordered the Archaeological Survey of India to excavate the site of the Babri Masjid and to establish if any structure predating the 16th century mosque existed or not. If a structure did exist,what was the structure? The excavations when completed could establish a physical proof one way or another. The order is significant. It is the first concrete step to resolve beyond doubt a controversy created and fomented by the sangh parivar. It is an article of faith among Hindu fundamentalist politicians that the Babri mosque was built on the site of a temple to commemorate the birthplace of Rama. Tall and absurd claims have been made on the basis of this faith. The latest in a long line has been the one of Mr Ashok Singhal of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. He claimed that a ground-penetrating radar survey had revealed the existence of a temple. All that the survey had suggested was the existence of a structure. By a characteristic sleight of hand Mr Singhal had made the structure into a temple. Another long-standing claim is that the mythical hero, Rama, was actually born in Ayodhya. This point is not susceptible to any kind of historical proof. But the existence of a structure and the nature of structure can actually be proved. This is where archaeology, myth and law converge and overlap.
The politics that underpins the entire mandir-masjid controversy is revealed in the initial reactions of all the parties concerned. The VHP, the Ramjanmabhoomi Trust as well as the Central Sunni Waqf Board and the All-India Babri Masjid Committee, all initially expressed their disapproval of the court order. The non-existence of a temple would render null and void all the claims made by the VHP and the Ramjanmabhoomi Trust. They would not only lose their credibility but also some of the momentum of a similar campaign focussed on Mathura and Varanasi. The Muslim organizations also fear excavation because they are uncertain of the outcome. Mughal emperors did, for various reasons, destroy Hindu places of worship. A definitive proof of this in Ayodhya will make a Ram mandir on the site of Babri Masjid a fait accompli and will open up possibilities of further attacks on Muslim shrines and of communal violence.
The Babri Masjid issue has been charged with myth and passion and not a little violence. The Allahabad high court has attempted to steer the matter in the direction of some kind of proof and truth. The results of the excavation, given the hothouse ambience that surrounds the dispute, may not resolve the matter completely. If, for example, no temple is discovered, will the VHP accept it? Will steps be taken to rebuild the Babri Masjid? If the remains of a temple are indeed found,will the government, Central and state, be in a position to control the repercussions? Such questions are, of course, outside the remit of the court. It has taken the best possible stand by forcing archaeology to confront myth.

Oregon JWs face $10.5 abuse law suit
Two people who say that they were sexually abused as children by a leader in a Hillsboro Jehovah's Witnesses congregation have filed a $10.5 million lawsuit against the cult.
According to this report, attorneys for Velicia Alston, 39, above, and an unnamed man said the Jehovah's Witnesses leadership continues to cover up sexual abuse against children by leaders. They say it is more than a decade behind other organisations, such as the Catholic Church, that have been forced to address their problems through many years of civil litigation.
Said Irwin Zalkin, one of several attorneys representing Alston and the man:
There is a crisis of silence in the Jehovah's Witness organisation.
Zalkin described the religious organization as:
More concerned about protecting its reputation than it is about protecting its children.
For example, Zalkin said the seven men who make up the Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body have a policy requiring a confession from the perpetrator or two eye witnesses to the abuse before leaders will take any action.
Even if they do disfellowship a perpetrator, they don't tell the congregation why. No one but the elders can ever know that there is a child predator lurking in that congregation.
Zalkin, an attorney from San Diego, said this is the first case of its kind that he knows of in Oregon. His firm has 14 active cases against the Jehovah's Witnesses in other states that include California, Connecticut and New Mexico. Several others also are pending in the US.
Portland attorneys Kristian Roggendorf and Paul Mones also are representing the two plaintiffs who filed Monday's lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
The suit alleges that Daniel Castellanos, who held the equivalent position of a baptised ordained minister in the North Hillsboro Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, molested Alston in 1986 or 1987 when she was 11 or 12 years old. The suit claims Castellanos also molested a boy, described only as John Roe in the suit, when the boy was 8 to 10 years old.
Alston said she chose to use her name and speak to reporters because she wants to give victims a voice. She said filing civil litigation in hopes of changing the Jehovah's Witnesses' policies did not amount to committing an act against God, even though her attorneys say the Jehovah's Witnesses might shun her for doing so.
Said Alson, who now lives in San Diego:
I know that there are other victims. I know that you're scared because you're worried about being punished by God. But God would never do something like this. So it's OK to say something. Because if you don't say something it's going to keep happening.
The suit alleges Alston was kissed and fondled under her clothes multiple times by Castellanos, a piano teacher, while he was supposed to be giving her piano lessons at his house. She eventually told her mother, who went to the Hillsboro congregation's elders. Alston said the elders told her and her mother to tell no one – including police.
Zalkin said Castellanos was ousted from the congregation for three to five years but eventually let back in.
Castellanos was married and had children at the time of the abuse, Alston said. She and her attorneys don't know how old he is or where he lives, but they believe it's outside of Oregon. They said they don't think he has any criminal history.
Oregon's statute of limitations doesn't allow Castellanos to be criminally prosecuted because too many years have passed. But state law does allow alleged victims of child sexual abuse to file lawsuits up until age 40 or within five years of when they realize the damaging effect the abuse has had on their lives.
Castellanos couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Last October, a California judge awarded $13.5 million to a man who said he was molested as a child by a San Diego Jehovah's Witnesses leader.
Jehovah's Witnesses count about eight million people within more than 113,000 congregations.
10 responses to "Oregon JWs face $10.5 abuse law suit"
All religions harbour sexual deviants who prey upon the weak and credulous. No doubt there are many decent priests, pastors, imams, vicars, bishops, mullahs, rabis and other religious officers who do not get their kicks raping and molesting children. But religions, by their very nature, attract all kinds of oddballs, ranging from the dangerously exploitative calculating cunning pedophiles through to stupefied sad losers who are so unattractively peculiar that they cannot get their sexual satisfaction through mature consensual relationships.The ranks of the pious are heavily freighted with these criminals and deviants and thus we can conclude that there are no divine omnipotent beings. What other proof of the non existence of god is required? This is why all religions try to cover up the enormous scale of this problem. But its too late. Decent people are increasingly aware of what has been going on and turning their backs on religion. God is going down … and we should all do our best to hasten the end.
God is going down … and we should all do our best to hasten the end.
I'm with you every last step of the way on that one, Caute.
The abuse is against the JWs well what about the dimwitted parents of these people?? If still alive are they a part of the suit?? My dad cussed out a nun because she blamed me for protecting my self from a bully. If I would have told him about some dude messing with me he would have beat the crap out of him. So their parents did nothing…because a pack old farts said to keep quiet!!!!! Sue the parents as well, they are crappy piles of schite!!!!
You have to have sympathy for the JWs; they still haven't got over the shock of the world (or complete universe) not ending in 1975. Forty years of disappointment must make for a very unhappy congregation.
Mention this next time they knock on your door. The young ones seem never to have heard of it so look upon it as your own missionary enterprise to enlighten them. The older ones will sometimes try to claim that the prophecy, in The Watchtower in 1966, was never made or was only symbolic but most will try to get the youngster away before too much harm is done.
Being witnesses should mean lots of eye balls to back up the JW's, aren't they all witnesses?
My favourite sect is the Jehovah's Bystanders; they are witnesses but just don't want to get involved.
There are more and more of these cases up until recently the WT soc settled out of court and things where kept secret. There was a case a couple of years ago the victim said no to this and went to court since then there have been a number of cases coming to light. There have been about 22 cases in the uk the last few years these are the cases that have made the papers, There are many more pending and I am sure more to come,
Vanity unfair most jw as you say don't know about 1975 they have altered there publications and some of the older ones are no longer available as there teachings chop and change all the time
Another denomination protecting pedophiles. What a shock-NOT. As usual, the church values their reputation more than their congregations souls, and their sexual organs. My son has some j-hole witnesses who have been trying to convert him for a long time (he finds verbal sparring with them amusing I think, but he's an atheists). I'll have to have him ask about the aborted rapture in 1975, since they won't talk to me anymore. Lucky me!
@ Cali Ron one of there older books printed prior to 1975 was later altered in later publications Their older books are no longer available they have been withdrawn to avoid embarrassment
barfly-Too late, that's only 1 of many things they should be embarrassed about, starting with that pesky belief in a nonexistent god.

Alright alright alright. That is much more like it. The Yankees started their six-game road trip with a laugher, blowing the Braves out by the score of 15-4 on Friday night. They needed this. We needed this.
Two Outs, Nine Runs
It took the Yankees seven batters Friday night to exceed their runs total from the three-game series with the Astros. They scored just four runs against Houston earlier this week, but the bats broke out and hung a five spot on Williams Perez in the first inning of this game. The entire rally happened with two outs too. Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner both started the inning with outs. Let's recap with an annotated play-by-play.
(1) Carlos Beltran had a miserable start to the season. It was very ugly. But, since the calendar flipped to May, he has hit .302/.365/.529 (145 wRC+) in just over 300 plate appearances. That's best case scenario stuff. I never would have expected Beltran to hit that well over that long a stretch of time coming into the season. He's been the club's only consistent hitter the last few weeks, so it's fitting he started the first inning rally with a not trying to do too much single back up the box.
(2) As expected, Brian McCann received a big standing ovation from the handful of fans at Turner Field in his first game back. He stepped out, tipped his helmet, the whole nine. Pretty cool moment. Perez then walked him on six pitches and it never once seemed like McCann was not going to reach base. Even when Perez had two strikes on him. The first pitch was a fastball right down the middle, and the foul ball for the second strike came on the pitch just off the plate, but the four balls were well wide. Easy takes for the walk. That's when it became obvious Perez was in over his head.
(3) The Greg Bird at-bat was the opposite of the McCann at-bat — Perez threw five pitches just off the plate and Bird took all five of 'em. One was called a strike, the rest balls. I thought maybe Bird would look to punch something the other way after the 2-0 pitch was called a strike, but Perez kept pitching to the same spot, and Bird kept taking 'em. Impressive that a rookie took so many borderline pitches. The walk loaded the bases and now Perez was really in over his head.
(4) Considering the offensive woes, it was easy to prepare for disappointment after Bird walked to load the bases. Nothing personal against Chase Headley — he came into the game hitting .318/.363/.536 (143 wRC+) with runners in scoring position, you know — but the Yankees have been struggling at the plate for a while, and we've seen them waste more than a few opportunities. You were expecting them to blow it. Admit it. I was. Instead, Headley smoked a pitch over Cameron Maybin's head in center field for a ground-rule double. That was huge. They needed some runs there just to feel good about things early in the road trip. An out there and it would have been "here we go again." It's only human nature. Instead, a 2-0 lead.
(5) Needless to say, Didi Gregorius' three-run home run was the big blow. The inning went from good to great with that one swing. Two first inning runs is good, we all would have signed up for that coming into the game, but five is so much better. Changes the entire complexion of the game. I wouldn't call it a no-doubter off the bat, but it was well struck and appeared to have enough to get over the head of Nick Markakis in right. It did. Way over and into the people. That gave the Yankees a quick 5-0 lead. They've scored 107 runs in the first inning this year, easily the most in baseball.
Not satisfied with five two-out runs in the first, the Yankees scored four more in the second. Same deal too — the first two batters made outs, then the Bombers rallied. Gardner singled, Beltran singled again, McCann walked again, then Perez was yanked from the game. Braves skipper Fredi Gonzalez had seen enough. In came Ross Detwiler, who walked Bird and Headley with the bases loaded to score two runs. Man, walking in runs is the single most infuriating thing in baseball. Thankfully the Yankees were on the receiving end of those bases loaded walks.
Gregorius followed the back-to-back walks with a two-run ground ball single through the left side of the infield to really turn this one into a laugher. It was more well-placed than well-stuck, but they all count the same. The Yankees have been really struggling to score runs of late, so getting some key hits from Headley and Gregorius was very welcome. They needed someone, anyone to come through with a big hit. Those two got three big hits in the first two innings.
A Bad Start, A Great Finish
Boy, for a while it looked like the Yankees were going need to all five of those first inning runs to support Masahiro Tanaka. Tanaka looked awful in the first inning, he had less than nothing, and the result was two runs for the Braves. It would have been more — probably four runs total — if not for Ellsbury's great catch to end the inning. I guess his hip is okay. He went a long way to grab that ball.
Tanaka threw a first pitch ball to each of the first three hitters in the first, and all three reached base. Markakis singled, Maybin walked, and Freddie Freeman singled in Markakis. Not a good start! Nick Swisher followed with a sacrifice fly, then Adonis Garcia singled. So four of the first five Braves reached base, and the one guy who didn't hit a hard-hit sacrifice fly. It was not a good start for Tanaka. Neither the slider nor the splitter was behaving.
The start to the second inning wasn't too much better. Tanaka fell behind the leadoff hitter, Andrelton Simmons, three balls and no strikes, so things were starting to get scary. Rather than continue to fall apart, something clicked for Tanaka. He rebounded to strike out Simmons as well as the next two hitters for a clean second inning. He retired 19 of the final 21 batters he faced — Freeman hit a solo homer and Simmons doubled after the score was out of hand — and was dominant. Tanaka found it that quick.
When it was all said and done, Tanaka allowed the three runs on five hits and a walk in seven innings. He struck out seven and threw 100 pitches on the nose. Seventy of them were strikes. The first inning was ugly. Everything after that was pretty awesome. This was an ace performance — aces find ways to pitch well and win even when things aren't working. No slider? No splitter? No problem. Tanaka figured it out. Well done.
The Yankees scored four more runs in the eighth — McCann's three-run homer was the big blow — and then two more in the ninth against position player Jonny Gomes. He is, without a doubt, the worst position player pitcher I've seen. Gomes was lobbing it in there. Chris Young took him deep. The Yankees scored 15 runs Friday after scoring 16 runs in their previous six games combined.
Gregorius had the biggest day at the plate, going 4-for-5 and driving in six (!) runs. How about that? Beltran had three hits, McCann had one hit and three walks, Bird had a hit and two walks, and Headley had two hits and a walk. Everyone in the starting lineup had a hit except Stephen Drew, naturally. Young and John Ryan Murphy had hits off the bench too. Even Tanaka had some nice at-bats. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and saw 24 total pitches.
Justin Wilson threw 19 pitches in two-thirds of an inning because he needed the work. He hadn't pitched in a week. Bryan Mitchell recorded the final four outs — he allowed one run — in his first outing since being hit in the face by a line drive eleven days ago. Mitchell struck out against Gomes as well. A position player struck out a pitcher. NL baseball is the worst. Glad to see Mitchell back out there.
