Seems of late that speaking the truth is not the RIGHT thing to do. So when did the rules change and why? Who was the culprit that flipped folks to prefer lies and attack truth? Anyone know?

Why does it work that way? Makes no sense to me. Doth it to thee? Upon what basis?

To the extent that we are constrained by our limitations(intellect and prejudices being the main ones) it is to that same degree that we will get things wrong despite believing we are always right. Does that ever bother you?

The dead man is Gregory Vaughn Hill Jr. The location was Fort Pierce, Florida. An unloaded gun was found in his back pocket. Gregory was killed by Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Newman. Apparently Greg was playing music too loud. He was also apparently drunk. So that's what we know.What was the jury saying to the family with that "award"? Anyone have a clue? Ever hear of such a thing as that? less
You carry your experiences everywhere you go. Does the baggage ever get so heavy you have to let some of it go? How do you decide which baggage isn't worth carrying any longer?

Some folks attack other members with snide snarky insulting condescending supercilious arrogance consistently and they're just hunky dorry okey dokey swell. The one who reacts often is the ONLY one who is punished/rebuked and gets he**. I don't get it.

The organization publicly spoke out against sexual abuse by Catholic clerics in the early 1990s, but it seems this cult has their own problem with pedophiles. They've paid out tens of millions of dollars in settlements to child abuse victims in order to keep quiet the fact that over 1,000 of their "elders" have been accused of sexually assaulting children. Apparently their prison ministry appeals to those who have already been convicted of sex crimes against children. I wonder why?!?Next week's episode takes a look at a different cult, widely known for encouraging adults to engage in inappropriate relationships with children, the "Children of God". less
