if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

For this to be truly effective from what I see is the Government is going to have to be convinced to allow religions to be sued over their teachings, then with mass law cases witnesses may start to wake up.

I made this point in another post on this very subject and wanted to re-itterate on it. Honestly for this to have any effect it is going to have to be chosen, adapted, and used by the Judicial system. If they choose not to follow the advice of this medical brochure they will not want to get tangled in a religion vs. state issue. I know it has potential but I wonder if it will get off the ground? The article may have been over hiped a bit. I hope it takes off like some have said but it has an uphill battle and as for mass exodus, it won't happen over this article, but it may be a start. A chink in the Watchtower armour.

But I do applaud Barbara's efforts in continually trying to bring expose on the Society for it's wrongs.

Sometimes they put in a character assassination.

Yes very true, thats how they persecuted me when I was an active Witness. They stripped me of all my priveledges and then when I moved due to pressure from the elder body, they sabatoged my character to the new elder body.

Anyways sorry and back ontopic with the post. I would go with the suggestion to just walk in and ask to view your publisher card then proceed to tear it up or walk out like others suggested. I mean really what are they going to be able to do about it? Unless you have family or friends within you have nothing to lose, it may draw their attention but really who's to say you didn't just forget them in your pocket as you were walking out lol

Journal of Church and State: WT NO-BLOOD EXPOSE'

by AndersonsInfo in

20 years ago

(baylor university, waco, tx) an essay entitled, "jehovah's witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation," found in the autumn issue of baylor universitys prestigious journal of church and state, published december 13, 2005, exposes the vulnerability of jehovahs witnesses religious organization to massive claims for compensation because of the religions misrepresentation of the medical risks of blood transfusions.

this milestone essay critically examines one of the religions main publications for teaching their children and new recruits about their blood beliefs, how can blood save your life?

the peer-reviewed essay details many misrepresentations of medical facts, which the religion partly relies on to support its blood prohibition, thus denying its members from making fully informed medical decisions.

I think its obvious though that for this too have effect we must raise our voices and get this message out to thoese who can make religion liable for their damaging doctrines. This brochure needs to get some momentum behind it for it to fully effect the court system.

You know where this one hits the hardest. You guessed it right in the $$$$$$. Its not so much the fact that thousands will suddenly leave but people will get retribution for their suffering. Hopefully as this happens ones inside will see the flaws of the system and wake up. It will be curious to see how the Watchtower Society is going to respond to this new threat.

I hope it can be effective right away. How long will it take to have effects? Has this actually been aproved by the Justice system, Can a religion such as the JW's be held accountable in a court of law for their teachings?

Wow! Tuesday night and the topic posts and views are growing and growing. Still no official announcement yet though. I hope it will be as hard hitting as promised and if its what I think it is it just might be the very underming of the Watchtower.
