Scientologists are known for going agressively after those that criticise them. It wouldn't surprise me if they have threatened Amazon UK with litigation, or even started some.

I have seen this case on the news tonight. The little girl is very brave and comes across in the interviews that she knows what she is doing.
David i do not believe this has got to court as you have suggested. From what i heard the hospital sought legal advise and eventually decided to respect the patients wishes.
Doctors interviewed on the piece i saw, were all of the opinion that the child's welfare, in terms of her wishes, should be taken into consideration. In this country 16 years old is the legal age, where a person can make their own mind up for medical treatment. That said, doctors will come to a decision based on what is in the best interests of the child, taking in the childs personal choices, if below the age of 16, but still having a view on their treatment.
In this case, the child has been through a lot of treatment throughout her life, with leukemia. The need for a heart transplant is because of damage caused by the treatment. In having a heart transplant, the girl is not guaranteed that it would work, she will be taking a combination of drugs so that the body will not reject the new organ, which in itself can lead to more complications.
In this case the child has been through a traumatic time with treatment her whole life and wants to have the option to live her time out in peace and dignity without treatment, she does not want to undergo more traumatic treatment, for something that can't be guaranteed. She has an old head on young shoulders. It would be difficult, if not impossible to find a doctor who would forcibly treat this child against her wishes.
My prayers shall be with her tonight.

Thanks for your comments on this guys.
It has made me realise that i haven't been wasting my time, in that others have been reading what i posted on the other forum with my critique of the disfellowshipping policy.
I have made my last response on there, ending it with how teenagers are left alone by choosing to leave the WTS.
Paul
P.S. Besty your work is good on that link, keep it up, look forward to meeting you in London!

i became part of my fellow citizens in this country by casting my vote.

I am glad you've voted ootb, i feel everyone should.
But i have to say i still don't get why you're an elder. I said it when you was made up and i still feel the same now. You are living a lie, i do not agree with reniaa's beliefs but i am kind of with her on this, but for different reasons.

So according to that dd are we still under the law? That scripture seems to contradict others, Colossians 2:14, Hebrews ch9 and ch10 for instance.

To all the born agains,
Do you not feel that labelling yourself as a Christian, is being judgmental to other religions, or other pathways to God that the rest of the world follow?
