  Thats a complex question, but maybe its more a cultural thing. I only remember seeing one convention being picketed here in the US, and even then they werent XJW's or at least they didnt identify themselves as so. I think Americans here are for any religion, anything goes, as long as its a religion. Thats why people are reluctant to picket against any religion they see as dangerous. Organized religion runs the show here in America, while personal salvation in Jesus is downplayed. Thats why im still a little leery of organized religion. The religion card is played well in this country, and Jehovah's Witnesses have learned to master the art of manipulating the law.

  J.G. - I agree with you - but then Children are forced into a lot of crap by their parents in this world - why stop with the JW's, I would have thought that they were the least abusive people when it comes to "Bad People"...

  its not JW's that need to be stopped abusing its mankind in general - JW's dont teach to abuse or not to take blood - People choose that for themselves....I was a JW not long ago and all my life - But I would have given my children blood. People are to blame for bad choices not religion.

  The victim act is sooooo sad.

  J.G. - how does one manipulate the law???

  A law is in place and JW's take advantage - just as you would take advantage of a tax law to your favour if it was legal - why wouldnt they....how is this a bad thing?? At least they obey the law.

  What do you mean? JW's do teach people not to take blood, and if they do then they risk losing their family and all their friends. There's no free choice there, its just a religion using the help of the constitution to keep the people from having blood. My Dad would have let me die if I needed blood, there is no doubt about it. You take away the shunning policy and many JW's would start accepting blood. The JW's are a legally protected racket that needs to be stopped. All religions arent bad, most are good and help the people to grow into productive citizens of society, only a few like the JW's are counter productive to a healthy mental outlook on life.

  because they are hypocrites and willing to use these laws to their advantage without so much as voting, serving in the military. They disparage the very same government that grants them those freedoms, while at the same time contributing nearly nothing to society. Thats why

  Jehovah's Witnesses are a deadly cult, and I have witnessed the heartache this religion has caused my family, so therefore I have decided to take a negative and turn it into a positive by exposing this religion to the world and hopefully spare a few kids from the depressing life I had.

  "born again" newbie you sound an awful lot like a classic Jehovah's Witnesses apologist troll who is an active JW who denies (lies) that he is one now (cause your not suppose to be on an apostate forum)
