This case is about a British JW, on behalf of Jehovah's Witnesses at large, sued the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. This case goes base to 1997, but is interesting in that the British JW man alleged 'defamation of character' against the WTS. He sued over an article appearing in the Watchtower magazine. He lost in the British High Court. BUT ... the fact that an active JW man would sue the Society, and also attempt to represent Jehovah's Witnesses at large is most interesting, and demonstrates to me that all is not well in paradise. Here is the link to the case heard before the British High Court:
Edit/PS: Here is the key issue: "6. The plaintiff's writ had been issued on 3 January l996 seeking damages for slander, libel, defamation of character, deception, fraud and negligence said to have occurred since 1993. The claim was pitched at £300 million. The Statement of Claim runs to a great many paragraphs, but in the course of the hearing before Kennedy J, the applicant indicated that the substance of the claim was to be found in paragraph 7 which reads:
"Comments in the December 1st issue of the Watch Tower magazine published earthwide, make assertions that the opposers of their society, in ´Legal Battles´, are linked with ´Satan and his Demons´ and also are responsible for doing all they can to thwart the efforts of God's faithful servants or make problems for them and such comments do by extension link myself with ´Satan and his Demons´ as one involved in ´legal battles´ with the society WBTS."
