    Not in public view. You need to pay for the information just like everyone else. After his October hearing, everything else needs to be requested by law.

    That is not how the law works in the USA. If there was a plea bargain, arraignment or even a plea entered there would be a record of that. 

    You are making stuff up out of thin air at this point. All that can be seen at this point is the arrest and the charges.

    Somebody probably knows better than me... but I'm sure Russia has bigger problems than a perceived infestation of JW's?

    Big tough Russian Federal agents practice arresting and threatening bible toting preachers..... while American special forces are actively trying to take down ACTUAL TERRORISTS like ISIS.

    Something doesn't add up.

    Putin must have a grudge or just not have control of his own thugs. Or maybe he is too busy trying to learn hockey?

     

  3. "E-Tell is believed by some scholars, led by Prof. Rami Arav of the University of Nebraska in Omaha, to have been Geshur’s capital and is also thought to have been, centuries later, the village of Bethsaida, which features prominently in the New Testament. "

    ...

    "The preliminary analysis of the pottery dates the fort to the early Iron Age, specifically the 11th or 10th century B.C.E., Tzin says. This, according to the biblical chronology, would have been the time of the great united Israelite monarchy of David and Solomon, and Geshur is mentioned several times in the holy text in connection to this kingdom. For example, King David is said to have married Maakah, the daughter of the king of Geshur (2 Samuel 3:3) and it was to there that their son Absalom was exiled after killing his brother Amnon (2 Samuel 13:23-39)."

  4. An epitaph

    The inscription reads: "Si Gabbor, a priest of Shahar at Neirab. This is my image. Because I have served him with integrity, he [Shahar] has given me a good reputation and a long life. On the day of my death, my mouth could still speak and I saw with my eyes four generations of my descendants. They were weeping and grieving over me. They put no silver or bronze objects beside me; they put nothing but my clothes on me, so that my tomb would not be violated. Whoever thou may be, O thou who harmest me by moving me, may Shahar and Nikkal and Nusku make thy death shameful and may thy descendants perish."

  5. F1317 Louvre Stele Si Gabbor AO3027 rwk

    This funerary stele presents
    under a long inscription in Aramaic
    a figurative scene with a priest seated at the banquet.


    The cult of the moon god, Sîn in Akkadian,
    is already well established in the Aleppo region of Syria.
    In the long dedication the deceased takes stock
    of his life and says his desire for a beautiful death
    and to enjoy the rest in the Hereafter without its remains being desecrated.

  6. Interesting. In both Arabic and Hebrew the words for religion are “din” and “dat”, which both mean “law”.

    Religious leaders are basically judges.

    By the way, the word “dat” is the origin of the word “data”.

  7. The suit says the ex-employees hold a "religious belief that homosexuality is a sin" and accuses the supermarket chain of religious discrimination.

    No one should be forced to wear emblems advocating causes they object to, whether it be LGBTQ or BLM or Democrat or Republican issues. I think work uniforms should be company-related and otherwise pretty much generic and neutral . If someone wants to advertise his affiliation with one cause or another, they should do so on their own time.

    At the very least, employees should be allowed to cover emblems on a work uniform that they personally object to.
