    Appeal from Shunned Father in Canada (dated May 17, 2002)

    For the past two and a half months I have been fighting the Watch Tower Society in court. They want to stop the treatments that my daughter is receiving. If they are successful, she will die. Will you please help me to save my daughter's life? In order to continue this fight to have my daughter receive the treatments she needs, I need information and financial support. At present I owe my lawyer $70,000. Below is the information I need . Would you be willing to advertise the Trust Fund? I have checked with my lawyer and he said it is ok to use my first name on a web page. Feel free to give out my email address. The WTS Lawyer told my daughter that if she died for her faith, that she would be featured in the "Awake" magazine. Isn't that sick? My daughter told the social worker that Mr. Gnam (the WTS Lawyer) and her mother were pressuring her to physically resist. Her mother tried to pull out the IV line. It is surgically implanted. If pulled out would caused her to bleed to death. There have been three different planned attempts to abduct my daughter. Anyone of which would have killed her. She has a social worker with her 24/7 to make sure that no one unduly influences her. Before the social worker was posted she was always upset, resisting treatments including chemo. Now she is much more calmer, cheerful and does not resist. A security guard is posted 24/7 to stop someone from abducting her. If you wish I can forward newspaper articles. The WTS now have gone to the Supreme Court of Canada. They have solicited help from churches and the Seventh Day Adventists are helping them. The WTS hired a PR person from another city to do damage control. This person, the HLC and the WTS Lawyers have been lying to my family, the media and the courts. I really need all the help I can get. My daughters life depends on persons helping me. Will you please help save the life of my daughter? Will you post this information on your web site?

    The following information can maybe save my daughter's life and force the WTS to pay my legal bills. This proof can come from copies of actual documents or sworn statements from individuals who have personal experience or knowledge of such matters. Anyone's costs in providing a notarized statement or appearing in court would be taken care of.

    1) . Proof that direction to the JW lawyers comes from the WTS.

    2) . That written or verbal protocol or standing orders initiate from the WTS to their lawyers or HLC.

    3) . That there are internal policies to intervene in custody and HLC cases.

    4) . Reasons why they do it.( example: to stop members from taking an alternate view, to prevent members from leaving etc)

    5) . Litigation support for WTS lawyers such as secretaries, paper, supplies, equipment, does it come from the WTS ?

    6) . Does the alternative treatment and medical advice come from the WTS?

    A trust fund has been set up by two fellow employees to help defray the cost of legal fees to allow me to continue to have legal representation. I do not have any access to this fund. Feel free to contact Randy Exner (my boss) or Maggie Branton at (403)262-5511 to verify this. She also is a notary. The legal fees will roughly total $150,000. Any monies left over are to be donated to the Alberta's Childrens Hospital. Cheques should be made out to " SAVE MY DAUGHTER" and mailed to " SHUNNED FATHER, Box 20161, Calgary Place R.P.O., Calgary Alberta T2P 4J2 Any letters or cards of encouragement would be very much appreciated. Please forward this information to whomever you can. Thank you very much. Lawrence

    Thank you so much Randy for posting this update. I was just thinking about this man yesterday, wondering how he was doing and what the status of his situation was.

    I am in tears to read of what has transpired in the last couple of months for this man. I don't have any such documentation for this man but I'm going to send him some money to help out.

    Does anyone (those of you who have had some contact with this man) know what else we can do for him?

    ******"They have solicited help from churches and the Seventh Day Adventists are helping them."******

    Churches of BABYLON perhaps?? 7 days, eh?

    Well, I will go into the 7day room in yahoo and show them this and see if 'they' are hip to any of this.

    IS DATELINE AWARE OF THIS AND/ OR HAVE YOU GONE TO ANY TALK SHOWS...such as on FOXNEWS NEW YORK???

    I will email this to FOX, as I have been with everything else 'WT'.

    {{{{{{HUGS TO YOU AND FOR HER}}}}}}

    We WILL help in all the ways that we can, individually. And that starts with getting your story ON PUBLIC MEDIA and emailing the news articles concerning your story and that of your dear daughter.

    May the force be with you sir.

    Sincerely, sKally

    Thanks Randy, for updating us.

    It's truly apaulling that a religion could be so brazen as to suborn the legal system, spit in the face of a loving father, attempting to publicly bring about the death of his daughter. grrr The phrase 'not having any natural affection' comes to mind.

    I can only think of something that Mrs. Pandelo posted recently:

    "The WTBTS hides who they are and what they do."

    Boggles the mind that something like this can still be happening in the 21st century.

    Thank you for keeping us up to date.
    Boy there are a few I'd like to forward this on to.
    I'll send a cheque instead.
