Wow! Well I hope the SA government wins on this one! That'd throw a big 'ol wrench in the gears, wouldn't it? To have women actually in the lead??

I cannot find any information about this. My hubby phone the Times newspaper and asked them if they knew anything they saud they will look into it. Will keep you posted.

Apparently if they don't win the court case, then JW's here will have a problem, because we have employment equity laws here and this would mean that there would have to be a quota of "Sisters" on the branch commitee and other "unscriptural" things
Oh, let's hope they lost!!
I wish the authorities here in the UK would bring the same sort of case against them

I thought at first it was the New York Bethel but that was of course too long a shot. Apparently they have too much support in high circles in the USA.
What the South African government has realised is the obvious fact about the WTS operations. The spirit of charity is one thing they certainly don't have.
