Oh right, thanks, that's cool OrphaCrow
They have to wait until after the case is filed before they link to it, or mention it, on their front-facing website.
Is it a province thingy in Canada?
It's just that the following Canadian website apparently seems very open about linking to cases while still only in the investigation stage, which kinda seems weird now?
See third item down - Toyota Truck Rust Investigation

yeah I don't find anything more...
yeah, exactly, no link from their own website!
that doesn't inspire any confidence regarding how they themselves view it
if they thought it important enough, surely they'd make sure you could access the page by navigating their website from the homepage....

Hi yalbmert
try going to their website:
and then see if you can actually find any links though to the JW class action page....
from the news page, blog page, class action page or just any page...
And let me know how you get on...

For those interested in this topic, I recommend Transfusion Alternatives in Obstetrics/Gynecology: www.natoline.com
I'm sure Caroline and Nate are a lovely couple - and I wish them all the best as the big day approaches (17 June 2017 at Martha’s Vineyard if you're asking) - though I'm not sure why steve2 is linking to their wedding website
Could maybe try this one instead

It seems like the actual Reveal website doesn't have current information, it goes back to 2/17. Most of the information about the event is in the Alexandra James blog; if I find something else I will post it.
I thought it was a rolling list of upcoming and past events - with events moving from the 'upcoming' section into the 'past' section, as the event date came and passed - that's certainly how it seems to be laid out, but who knows how they think.

Drug could reduce bleeding deaths of JW moms. WT Pay Attention
by Lee Elder ina new study in lancet shows a drug, tranexamic acid, could save the life of a preganant jw woman who is experiencing heaving bleeding following childbirth.
hopefully, watchtower h.i.s.
is paying attention, and gets this information out asap.

Lee Elder:
Hopefully, Watchtower H.I.S. is paying attention, and gets this information out asap
one day later...
Additionally, it would be a mistake to assume that every pregnant JW woman is getting HLC advance, because that is not happening, and neither do we want it to
Sorry, this is kinda confusing
So firstly you want the WT to get the information out - which they appear to have done so for at least the last six years via the 'Care Plan'?
Then you say you don't want them to get the information out into the hands of those directly effected ? - by not distributing the 'Care Plan'?
Which one is it?

Oui! Betty was there.
Oh, I hope Wayne doesn't carry the flame. That guy is so overdone it isn't even funny. I'd rather see Bobby Orr do it over him. Better than Steve Fonyo, I guess...
Anyone have any more information or background on this ???...
Documentary sheds light on former Canadian hero Steve Fonyo's recovery
Toronto Sun, 30 April 2017
Steve Fonyo helped save untold numbers of Canadians when he raised $13 million for cancer research in a 1985 cross-country run.
The years following his run were far from idyllic, however. Fonyo slipped into a life of drugs, booze and petty crime that made shambles of the last 30 years of his life. It was a downward spiral captured in the devastating documentary, Hurt (2015), from award-winning filmmaker Alan Zweig.
The movie Hurt ends with a home invasion in Surrey, B.C., and with Fonyo stabbed, beaten and left for dead.
Astonishing, then, to find Hope, the new documentary from Zweig that follows Fonyo’s journey back to the land of the living.
With a helping hand from art, nature, faith and therapy, Fonyo has turned his life around.
Among those who have helped Fonyo’s ongoing recovery are his girlfriend, Lisa Marie, and the Jehovah’s Witness community in Powell River — but Mother Nature has played a big role, too. The spectacular landscape and general tranquillity of Powell River seem to have had a profound effect on Fonyo’s state of mind.

Family of Jehovah's Witness mum who bled to death after son's birth win £870k compensation
The Daily Express, 28 April 2017
The devastated family of a Jehovah's Witness mum who bled to death following her son's birth have won £870,000 compensation from the NHS.
Estera Lenczuk died when she was just 33 after her son was born at the Whittington Hospital, in Archway, north London, in January 2012.
Mrs Lenczuk' son, now aged five, was born by emergency caesarean and she suffered a massive haemorrhage soon afterwards.
The family's lawyers said medics had known throughout her pregnancy that she was a Jehovah's Witness and would not accept transfusions.
However alternative treatment was not delivered quickly enough to stem the flow of blood, they claimed.
Stephen Bailey, for the NHS trust, said it was "a very sad case from which important lessons have been learnt".
Approving the payout, Judge Pearce said: "I am quite satisfied that this settlement is a proper one, in the interests in particular of the child."

Hi Isambard Crater
On the radio this morning. Here is the Link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08njt79
UK people can download the audio.
No, it was actually from yesterday (Sunday) morning - when you posted the same information on this forum here:
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5711976099479552/bbc-radio-4-feature-on-child-abuse
Today (Monday) the Times newspaper has picked it up and is running a reasonably lengthy article about it.....
‘Secret dossier’ of Jehovah’s Witness child abuse victims
The Times 1 May 2017
The Jehovah’s Witnesses should be forced to hand over a secret dossier of followers accused of child sexual abuse, a senior barrister said yesterday.
Pressure for the organisation to be included in the official inquiry into child abuse has intensified after it was revealed that details of alleged abusers were kept by the church in Australia and America.
