No Trespassing!! Breaking news for local JW's.
by Mulan inthis week at the book study, at all congregations in the u.s., a letter was read saying if you go to a house or property with a "no trespassing" sign, you must not enter, or knock on the door.
you have to leave immediately.
a sign saying "no solicitors" is too ambiguous, and they are to use their own judgment, and don't have to knock.

NO TRESPASSING SIGNSThe mighty Watchtower corporation goes up against a small town Stratton Ohio 2002 with limited legal resources to set a Supreme court precedent.
This does not give them the right to intrude trespass on private property even the police need a warrant.

Town changes rule for religious group
01:00 AM EST on Friday, February 9, 2007
By John Hill
Journal Staff Writer LINCOLN — Members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are free to conduct their door-to-door ministry in town without registering at Town Hall, officials said yesterday. The acknowledgement came after a lawyer for the Witnesses wrote Town Council President Jeremiah T. O’Grady complaining that on Jan. 3, police officers told a group of their ministers that they had to check in with the Police Department before going door to door. Paul D. Polidoro, associate general Counsel for Watchtower Bible Tract and Society of New York Inc., one of the corporations through which the Witnesses operate, wrote O’Grady saying that policy violated a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision. Police Chief Robert T. Kells said his officers were unaware of the case law and that in the future, the Jehovah’s Witnesses would be allowed to go about their business unquestioned, at least by the police . “They will be allowed to go up the streets, ringing doorbells,” Kells said. “It will be up to the individual at the door to decide whether they wish to entertain what they are offering.” O’Grady agreed. “I am in full agreement with the points made in that letter,” he said. “Clearly, the First Amendment protects both religious practice and speech. Jehovah Witnesses are free to spread their message door to door in Lincoln without informing the police or anyone else.” The town’s soliciting ordinance requires anyone who wishes to engage “in the business as a canvasser, solicitor or salesman calling at residences without the previous consent of the occupant for the purpose of soliciting orders, sales, subscriptions or business of any kind or seeking for information or donations” must first get a license from the town. Those registering are required to provide the police their identification, signature, the name of employer, the nature of the products or services being offered, the names of the manufacturers of them, the organization they represent and their method of operation in town. But in 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a case brought by Polidoro’s clients, threw out a similar Ohio village ordinance that banned some door-to-door solicitations and required registration. The court in an 8-to-1 decision, hailed “the historical importance of door-to-door canvassing and pamphleteering as vehicles for the dissemination of ideas.” A key point was that Jehovah’s Witnesses were not selling anything, but instead offering free literature about their faith. “In Martin [a 1943 case] after cataloging the many groups that rely extensively upon this method of communication, the court summarized that ‘door-to-door distribution of circulars is essential to the poorly financed causes of little people,” the court ruled. “It is offensive,” the decision said, “not ony to the values protected by the First Amendment but to the notion of a free society — that in the context of everyday public discourse a citizen must first inform the government of her desire to speak to her neighbors and then obtain a permit to do so.” [email protected] contact reporter -

According to the Public Library, ALL the books on Cults have a section about Jehovah's witnesses! And I've read them all!
Yes and all the commercial bookstores too
Jehovah's Witnesses are an oppressive fraud for God cult. The Watchtower is a total ripoff,their core doctrine is that Jesus ALREADY had his second coming in 1914 and made them da boss.
The Watchtower is a carnal cult of da flesh

Does anyone know if these parents were willing to allow the "blood fractions" to save the babies, or if blood fractions would have been enough to save them?
Good question,my impressions (my be off some) on this case is that the Watchtower operatives are holding to all blood is forbidden and their is the medical component here also these are 1.5 lb premature infants and their immature systems require whole blood?

Jehovah's Witnesses believe the Bible says they should abstain from blood (Acts 21:25) and therefore refuse blood transfusions for themselves and their ...Audrey Manning
The Beacon [email protected]contact The first case of sextuplets born in Canada occurred in Vancouver on Jan. 6 to Jehovah’s Witness parents.
The Vancouver babies were premature and needed blood transfusions to cope with low volumes of blood. Jehovah's Witnesses believe the Bible says they should abstain from blood (Acts 21:25) and therefore refuse blood transfusions for themselves and their children.
The care of the babies presents an ethical dilemma for the doctors. Medical authorities do not generally have the authority to overrule the parents’ wishes. However, when a child is in danger of dying, the doctors can lodge a complaint with government authorities that can get a court order to enforce treatment.
Religious authorities cite the special relationship between parent and child as something to be fostered and protected because it is the fundamental elemental upon which society and culture is constructed. The big question is: should the state intervene to save the life of a child?
Here we have a conundrum. The same religious authorities who would champion the rights of the unborn and turn every stone to prevent a woman’s right to choose will not go out on a limb for the born, preferring to leave the matter to the courts.
The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada cites three main principles at stake — the rights of parents, respect for religious beliefs and protection of children. In the unborn debate, protection of the unborn is paramount. After the child is born, protection comes after parental and religious rights. There is an ethical assumption parents should have care and custody of their children because parents love their children and strive to help them to become honourable human beings. This assumption does not stand up to scrutiny. If parents are abusing children, society intervenes to protect the children. The question is: who needs protection more than a child who will die if medical treatment is not administered?
The argument is reduced to: are children individuals with human rights? It seems the only way to protect all children is to make the ethical assumption parents do not own their children. Parents are guardians charged with the task of helping their children to grow physically and emotionally. Life-and-death decisions regarding children should not take into consideration the religious beliefs of the parents. Parents have rights, but they are not absolute. Outside religious rules, parents can’t make decisions that have the potential to harm their children. Children are regularly taken away from their parents when they’re deemed to be at risk. Thus, while society may accept parents are free to become martyrs, they are not free, in indistinguishable circumstances, to make martyrs of their children.
That parental rights do not give parents life and death authority over their children is especially relevant in the case of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This is because their teachings have changed radically, over the years, with regard to medical treatment.
As well as whole blood, the Watchtower Society used to prohibit taking into the body any of the components that make up whole blood. Over time, while sticking to the banning of whole blood, they have gradually permitted the use of virtually all the components that make up whole blood.
They first sanctioned globulin, then the clotting factors, plasma proteins and finally hemoglobin in June 2000. According to the Watchtower, June 15, 2000, Questions From Readers, essentially every component or fraction derived from whole blood and its primary components are allowed in medical treatment.
Religious authorities often view new technologies with suspicion. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s many religious communities objected to vaccinations. Vaccinations were denounced as harmful and morally wrong. Jehovah’s Witnesses saw vaccination as a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood (the Golden Age, precursor to the Awake, Feb. 4, 1931). Between 1967 and 1980, the Watchtower Society and others held a dim view of organ transplants.Major religions including Catholism, Judaism and Islam, issued warnings against transplants. Some religions objected because the procedure involved cutting an organ from a living body. Others, like the Witnesses, viewed transplants as an extension of cannibalism (the Watchtower, Nov. 15, 1967). In 1980, the Watchtower Society made transplants a matter for personal decision, accepting the procedure as one that saves lives. Until the rules were relaxed, loyal Witnesses chose blindness rather than a corneal transplant and death rather than a kidney transplant.
Some branches of the Jewish and Muslim faiths continue to voice concerns over the rapid advance of medical research. However, religious thinkers have been forced to consider scientific technology when dealing with theological issues. Questions relating to stem-cell research, fertility, contraception and abortion remain the focus of religious debates.
There is no doubt society is conflicted over religious truths. Yet, even the most dogmatic views evolve. Is it reasonable to place the lives of children into this mix of personal beliefs and truths? Is it reasonable to give parents, like the parents of the sextuplets, the power of life and death over their children when their decisions are based on the whim of religious interpretation, which change over time?

I just emailed the Dr. Phil show
by J-ex-W ini just emailed the dr. phil show with significant aspects of my story--not just the jw stuff but with being a large part of the complicated picture and said i would be willing to air my issues on their show.
the hidden horrors of marital sex abuse and of sleep-rape, specifically, must be exposed to the general public.
too many believe that it's not even possible to rape a sleeping woman...and they are soooo wrong, as my firsthand experience attests!!!
