Reading the Rules on Motion to Smash Summons (http://www.silentlambs.org/assistance/documents/slnorrisRulingonMotiontoQuashSummons.pdf) I found this, in page 3:
"KHAA...
...Although Watch Tower PA characterizes "donations" to the program as voluntary, and ASSERTS that coverage IS NOT GUARANTEED in return, the documentation provides shows that all California congregations are covered by the program, and all are issued invoices and directed to make payments on the those invoices."
In that occasion, WTBTS was trying to show that Californi Court hasn't jurisdiction over a Pensilvania company, but the KHAA proves that WTBTS is present in California.
The most important fact is this: WTBTS itself said to Court "that coverage IS NOT GUARANTEED in return" to the congregations.

KHAA, reasn Watchtower is afraid of Kingdom hall related lawsuits (mishaps)
by DaCheech inunlike any other business or homeowener in which we go out and buy insurance, the watchtower self insures itself.. each year all congregations sent a check through the wefts system for $4.5 for each publishers they have.
this money goes to the watchtower, and is kept as khaa or kingdom hall assistance arrangement.
any time fire, vandalism, or mishaps happen the kingdom hall supposedly sends the bill to the watchtower, and they will help with this bill (of course all labor will be done pro bono through regional building committe).

When I begun an investigation in court's material (regarding Blood Transfusion) available in the internet, I noted that no one of them appears the name "Sociedade Torre de Vigia" (Brazilian branch of WTBTS), except one case when WTBTS paid hospital expenses for a probable bethelite. One of the cases passed through the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice in 1998 when the HLC JW doctor Faleiros Diniz loses a "habeas-corpus" (try to finish a criminal investigation after a young's death in the 90s). This case is under investigation yet.
The information about this and others brazilian cases are in the site: http://www.geocities.com/rosazul_documentos/processo.html , but it's all in Portuguese. If one aid me to translate to english I will thank.

well, friends, let me tell you what happens in Brazil - sorry for my poor English, i'm learning yet. After some Sao Paulo's Court rules, when a patient is under high risk of death, doctors may use all ways available in the hospital to life sustaining. Some issues including JWs and courts are in Portuguese in my website: ttp://www.geocities.com/rosazul_documentos/processo.html The religiuos right is embodied at 5th article of Brazilian Constitution, but Justices understand that "life right" is over all "religious right". Another court rules followed this understanding. So, what happens in Brazil is: doctor agrees with no-transfusion... but in a risk of death situation, doctor follows the Medical Code. If the patient (or her/his relatives) will sue the doctor (or hospital), courts grants the "life sustained" way found in that situation. rad

Transfusion of blood ends in aggression to doctor
15/11/2006 09:18:30 - newspaper A Gazeta
What is worth more before an impasse in the a patient's treatment: the will of the family or the doctor's decision? The polemic was taken to the last consequences, yesterday in a hospital of Cariacica, and the case went stop in to police.
Manager Elza Amâncio Viana, 30 years, she gave entrance in the Hospital Saint John Baptist, in Cariacica, with beginning of spontaneous abortion. The husband, Gilson, accompanied the wife and he/she asked to the doctors that she didn't receive transfusion of blood, because both belonged to the congregation Jehovah's Witnesses and they didn't admit the medical procedure.
However, gynecologist P.C.V. - that asked for not having the disclosed name - it was work in the hospital and he decided to accomplish the transfusion to guarantee the patient's life. The husband of Elza, inconformado, broke into the pre-childbirth room, where she was assisted, and he attacked P.
Gilson justifies the attitude saying that lost the head when he saw the woman receiving blood, even after having informed the hospital about its decision.
" My wife was pregnant of 12 days, but nor she knew. She had an abortion beginning, I took it in two hospitals before arriving to the Hospital Saint John Baptist. If they didn't have structure for another procedure, they should have informed me, because I would take it for another hospital ", he said.
On the other hand, the doctor guarantees that that era the only alternative in the moment. According to him, the patient's life was in risk and there was not time to lose.
I " have the back-up of the Code of the Medical Ethics. The hospital could be accused of medical negligence and omission of help if it left the patient to die for lack of the transfusion ", he affirmed.
The case will continue in the Court.The doctor affirms that will sue Gilson. The religious person says that the congregation also analyzes the possibility to sue the hospital.
The version of each one
I " heard her screaming and I lost the head "
Gilson Viana - 30 years, the patient's husband
I " heard my wife me screaming and I lost the head. I broke into the door and I saw her if beating, with bags of blood to the side. I gave a punch in the doctor's nape and he/she said that he would have to inform me. I broke the hoses that took the blood until her, but it was already late. She is very affected. He/she said that is feeling violentada. The Bible says that the blood is life and the life can only be given for heaven's sake. She had already suffered other two abortions. The first was five years ago and the other there is not very more than two years. In none of the two previous situations she received transfusion of blood ".
I " considered the patient's " life first
P.C.V. - attacked gynecologist
I " considered, in first place, the patient's life. She arrived with a shock caused by an intense vaginal sangramento, due to an incomplete abortion. In the moment, there was not, in the hospital, other treatment besides the transfusion of blood. She took death risk. The patient was unconscious and she only woke up when it was stabilized. Her husband invaded the pré-childbirth room, he/she attacked me physically and he/she attacked verbalmente other employees. It had never gone by a situation as that. He will answer for its acts. I will enter with an action in the Court ". -
