Thanks DATA-DOG. I really appreciate the post you made.
I've been on this board since its inception and have learned that it's impossible to please everyone. But I try to learn from mistakes I've made and to take uncalled for criticism with a grain of salt, but I'm no martyr, that's for sure.
FYI, DS, copyright problems can ensue if too much information is taken from an original article and posted without permission. I have learned over the years from media reps that it's so much better if part of the article is posted with a link and readers then go to the news organization responsible for the information so they, the media organization, finds out how many people read the article. If there's lots of interest in the subject, more articles will follow and that's what we want. The more attention given to the wrongs committed by JWs and their leaders, the better.

In memorandum, today, October 31, 2016, is the 100th anniversary of Charles Taze Russell's death.
The WARREN EVENING TIMES in Warren, Pennsylvania, stated on Wednesday, November 1, 1916 that
"Pastor Russell is one of the best known personages in America today. He has appeared on platforms, stage and pulpits in every section of the country, and there are few people actively engaged in religious work who have not heard him at one time or another."

If anyone wants to view ID Discovery's Deadly Devotion, "Witness to Murder," the Robert and Janet Bryant story, it can be downloaded for $1.99 through ID Discovery, but it's non-transferrable. Or, if you contact me through my website, Watchtower Documents, I'll tell you how you can get a copy for free.

Both programs involving JWs had the same name: Witness to Murder. This was done intentionally by the producer. I know this to be so since I was involved with the program about the Bryant's for many months.
At the following link is an example of the Bryant story being named Witness to Murder:
http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content/690849
Also, on ID Discovery the Bryant program blurb can be located by typing in Robert and Janet Bryant, Deadly Devotion: Witness to Murder. I remember that both JW stories with the same name caused quite a bit of confusion last year. On top of that, the first airing of the Bryant story was August 3rd, which was the first day we in this part of the world watched the Australian Royal Commission Investigation into JW child abuse.

Hi Vidiot. Yes, it already has been done. "Deadly Devotion" is the name of a series of six programs on ID Discovery. In August 2015, "Witness to Murder" was the first episode in the "Deadly Devotion" series of Season 3. It was the story of JWs, Robert and Janet Bryant. Some time after Robert was disfellowshipped for apostasy, in 2002, he murdered his wife and four children. He then committed suicide. The program discusses what could have driven Robert Bryant to do what he did. The program can still be viewed on ID Discovery.

Did a Jehovah’s Witness die after refusing a blood transfusion, and should the state have let it happen?
October 28, 2016
On Oct. 6, Dupuis, then 27, entered a birthing centre in the Quebec City suburb of Lévis. Six days later she died in hospital shortly after delivering a baby boy. Attention has focused on whether Dupuis, who practised the rituals and attended the services of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, ultimately invoked one of the Church’s chief tenets: refusing a blood transfusion, even if it might have saved her life.
The other part of her life was often in contradiction to the first. The only child of practising Jehovah’s Witnesses, she wasn’t allowed to go to the movies. (Twilight, with its focus on vampires and blood, was particularly verboten.) The boy in question from her youth “caused a problem” because he wasn’t a Witness, says her friend Cassandra Zélézen. They were forbidden from seeing one another.
Éloïse Dupuis had a foot in two very different worlds. She liked makeup, smartphones and, as a teenager, had a crush on a boy. She went to the cinema—the Twilight movie series was her favourite—and babysat the triplets who lived down the dirt road from her house in the town of Ste-Julienne, a village about 70 km northeast of Montreal. She shopped: Sport Experts for Pumas, the pharmacy for cosmetics, Joshua Perets for most everything else.And in a province often struggling with how to legislate what (mostly Muslim) women can wear in public in the name of religion, the case of Éloïse Dupuis is more vexing. Many Quebecers now wonder if the state should be able prevent consenting, otherwise healthy adults from adhering to a potentially deadly (and very Christian) belief in the sanctity of one’s own blood.
While the church wouldn’t say whether Dupuis refused a blood transfusion, Quebec’s health minister confirmed as much when he said in the National Assembly that Dupuis “had given informed consent . . . free of external pressure” several times throughout her ordeal.
Her non-Jehovah’s Witnesses family members and friends believe otherwise, saying Dupuis had an emergency hysterectomy (a result of complications during childbirth) and was subjected to an induced coma that, by its very nature, prevents consent of any kind. “For six days they watched her die,” says Manon Boyer, Dupuis’s aunt. Zélézen, one of the triplets Dupuis babysat, says she learned about Dupuis’s imminent death by reading messages of condolence from Jehovah’s Witnesses on Facebook. She and her sisters rushed from Montreal to the hospital in Lévis, where nurses told her that Dupuis had minutes left to live.
“When we got there, three men from the Church, one who was all in black, blocked us from going into the room,” Zélézen says. “Five minutes later she was dead. Everyone who came out of the room was a Jehovah’s Witness.”READ MORE: http://www.macleans.ca/news/a-jehovahs-witness-and-her-deadly-devotion/

Utah Jehovah’s Witnesses church forced woman to listen to audio of her rape, lawsuit says
A woman is suing a Jehovah's Witnesses church in Weber County after, she says, one of its instructors repeatedly raped her when she was a minor and the organization's leadership forced her to listen to an audio recording of one of the assaults.
The woman filed the lawsuit Wednesday in 2nd District Court, accusing the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses church in Roy — as well as naming the alleged perpetrator, several church leaders and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (the religion's headquarters located in New York) — of knowingly allowing the "unfit" instructor to rise to a position of authority without warning members of his "dangerous propensities" and past sexual transgressions.

No representative of the Roy church, 1950 W. 4400 South, responded to a voicemail from The Salt Lake Tribune requesting comment Thursday.
The Tribune generally does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault. Because the man accused of assaulting the woman in this case has not been charged with a crime, The Tribune is not identifying him. It is not clear whether she reported the alleged incident to police, but members of the faith are encouraged to bring problems to elders in the church, rather than to outside authorities.
The girl's interactions with the instructor began in summer 2007, the lawsuit states, when she attended a movie with him. When driving her home from the theater, the instructor took her phone and told her she had to kiss him on the cheek to get it back. When she refused, he kicked her out of the car and drove off, returning a short while later to pick her up.
The purported assaults escalated from there, according to court documents, as the man three times bound the girl's wrists and ankles with duck tape, placed a sock in her mouth and covered her head with a pillowcase, leaving her alone in the backseat of his car for one to two hours each time.
