    What was the issue on not paying taxes? The literature sales, maybe?

    Yes Ted, I told you years ago, the nations shall know...

    "By avoiding paying taxes, condemning people to
    death by refusing them blood transfusions or covering up very grave wrongs
    such as paedophilia, you can see very well that it isn¹t a
    question of public opinion, but also there are laws that must be applied."

    Thx for the news Barbara.

    IMHO, the French are pretty much like the Russians; they simply don't play. Good for them.

    For the Watchtower organization to have this kind of knee-jerk reaction to a few words uttered by public official is truly pathetic. The Watchtower organization has been a staunch advocate of free speech; particularly when it involved their "right" to blast their sound cars during Sunday Catholic services. They appealed to the concept of free speech when it involved Rutherford's public diatribes against religion and commerce. They called for the defense of free speech when it involved their public sandwich sign campaigns where they lambasted the churches.

    But when one official makes some unflattering observations about their practices, they publicly demand redress from the government. Their behavior can hardly be characterized as dignified, rational, or even mature. Their behavior is that of a petulant child.

    The Jehovah¹s Witnesses lost a defamation action Friday
    which they brought against Deputy Jean-Pierre Brard

    Nice to see all those carefully scrimped JW widow's mites put to such good use.

    Anyone have any idea how much this "defamation action" cost the JWs?

    This might even be an interesting tidbit to share with true-blue-JWs. Doesn't seem like a very "discreet" use of The Master's assets.

    Very well said ! They've crowed for years about the US Supreme Court rulings they have won -- as tho' Jehovah Himself influenced the judges (another conduit ?). Now that they are losing case after case...I suppose the Great Persecution has started.

    The Governing Body actually listens to those very dangerous voices in their heads, then become murderers (IMO) when their leadership and charisma persuade others to follow them over a cliff to their deaths.

    I'm just one of many who have lost a loved one, my mom, to the GB's murderous, idiotic beliefs about blood transfusions.

    They truly believe their power and total control should extend over all the govt's and courts. After all... their god is gonna murder all the "worldly" so they can rule as a Governing Body Junta.

    Barbara...Thank you again for posting this AND for all of your hard work.
