    It sounds great. The reality is the law is the law. I don't read details of military history but don't you engage your enemy on the field of your choosing where you stand the greatest advantage. Unfortunately, law at this point in time favors the Witnesses. My suggestion is not to not do anythiing. Find a better battleground.

    I don't have time to collect information. Because of my interests, I have studied about liberation movements for decades. Law is not what it appears on Tv shows or films. George Washington is a good example. The British had the most powerful army in the world. American colonists had little. Our militias were militias not standing armies. We were rag tag. Fortunately, Washington knew not to fight the British in a big, traditional European style battle. Whenever he did, the colonists sustained heavy casualties. We lost. As I understand it, rather than fight according to European systems, Washington, a veteran of the French and Indian War near the western frontier, engaged in small encounters. The British were bogged down over time. Of course, the French intervention was central to independence. Choose the strategies creatively. This is not being a wimp but a victor.

    America and the French in Viet Nam is also the classic. The French and the United States had superb well-funded militaries. The French lost. We lost. Nixon decided to call it peace with honor but we lost. Call it a success and leave.

    The little man has won in Law at times, anything that gives the little man of meagre means a chance is a good thing. If we all said "it is impossible" nothing would ever be achieved.

    Yes, money and power usually prevail, but the money and power of the WT rests upon fragile foundations.

    Londo's idea has merit.

    You all (in the US) can get legal advice. If you are in a pre-paid legal service, you could find out whether you have a (REAL) case and you could also get the lawyers to write letters for you to put the fear of the law in the WT if you actually DO have a case. The beauty of the pre paid legal services is that the ones with proprietary law firms get paid before you call-they have no incentive to tell you anything other than the truth about whether you have 'grounds' or not to bring a lawsuit. They have experts in all different areas of law whether it is constitutional, abuse,domestic, contract, whatever-they will give you the right one for your case.

    This legal advice can be had for a very nominal fee ($17 a month) and will cover all kinds of concerns/contracts/traffic tickets, etc. Most of us don't necessarily want to start a class action or change the world-we want them off our backs, to not interfere with our families, not harrass or stalk us, gossip about us or defame us. That is usually pretty standard stuff that can be solved with a letter. How many lawyers will write a letter for $17?

    They can tell you if you SHOULD start a big deal about something or help you figure out how to do so, but you don't have to start at the bottom or call the cheap guy listed in the llittle nickel want ads or something. Call LegalShield or Hyatt or Prepaid legal services. They all have plans, and most can be purchased without going through your company benefit plan.

    What you would like to do is a legal co-operative and lets face it, just getting this website managed/moderated is pretty much the limit-its a hassle for someone and most of us aren't volunteering for the duty. Its hard work! Managing a ex JW legal service is not feasable for anyone that I know of.
