    Maybe they are announcing this to make it seem to the R&F that THEY are the ones taking the court action instead the other way round.

    Happyman,

    I think probably that they may be "countersuing" victims with accusations to get victims to drop the case or settle in court and tie them up with legal expenses for many years.

    That's what it sounds like to me, too. Cowards.

    No happyman a lawsuit did NOT happen after Dateline, Channel 9, Panorama or the 5th Estate.

    I am kinda stunned that they would even try to sue the Swedish Show. You see all these shows must be reviewed by executiver producers and then by the legal departments.

    If Legal does not give an okay to a segment, then the segment is cut.

    So go ahead Watchtower. Launch a lawsuit against TV station. And when it gets thrown out in summary judgement .... or better still .... when all the kids tell their stories on the stand at trial .... again .... for an entire nation to again read about and again see all over TV again ..... then you will have no one coming to your stupid meetings and buying your stupid books.

    I would be extremely surprised if this Swedish lawsuit were anything but bluster. The Society knows perfectly well that the accusations are true, and that if they challenged them in court they'd get their asses kicked big time. I suspect that this is just a ploy to fool the JW community into thinking that the accusations are lies, and that they will actually do nothing. In the minds of these poor fools, the threat of the lawsuit will cancel out any doubts caused by the accusations, and after awhile, the JW community will forget all about the accusations and the lawsuit, which will quietly come to nothing. Thus the Society will have neutralized the accusations.

    I hope that some Swede forwards the Society's threat to the TV producer. I hope the producer gets angry and does a followup, including material about this lawsuit. The Society would run away with its tail between its legs.

    This sounds like a lot of noise and bluster to the faithful to reinforce the "it's all lies" party line.

    I agree with AlanF. Does anyone know who the show's producer is? Or how to reach them? This would be an excellent note for them to do a follow up story on.
