"We could get it trending on Twitter maybe...we could at least try?"
I'm starting to see some tweets with the hashtag #WatchtowerLawsuit.
I also found this blog post http://www.atheistgeeknews.com/the-biggest-news-since-sparlock-oakland-jury-holds-jehovah-witnesses-responsible-for-sexual-abuse-of-fremont-child-2629.htm
I think we should get the word out in any way we can.

Imagine being a local witness that has contributed a lot of money for the building and maintenance of the kingdom hall and realizing that the hall might have to be sold to pay for this lawsuit. I think there will be a lot of Witnesses upset over this.
i have never heard of this group but i turned on the tv and right now (eastern time) there is a show on national geographic called american colony/hutterites and they are shunning members for allowing their children to have more education than they deem neccessary as well as playing school sports.
the group also appears to think they are the only ones going to heaven.. anyone know more about this or have experience with them?
struck a chord with me..
I used to live near some Hutterite colonies. They had some fantastic bake sales. They weren't very good sales people. They would just smile slightly as they took your money, but the food was so good that it didn't really matter.

"However, it has happened many times that WT of PA is removed later when WT attorneys file papers to have that entity removed and then convince a judge at a hearing that WT of PA has no dog in the fight."
That sounds likely. It would be interesting to find out if that happened in this case. I also found it interesting that the Governing Body was listed as a defendant. I wonder if they were also removed at some point.

I found this on the website. It shows the WBTS of Pennsylvania as a defendent. (It could be outdated information. I don't know.)

We should be ready to share this on social media and blog posts as soon as the news starts reporting on this.
I have been trying to think of some good hashtags for Twitter. #itsacult is already popular and used for many JW related stories. #Watchtower #WatchtowerAbuse #WatchtowerCoverup #WatchtowerLawsuit #JW #JehovahsWitnesses #stoptheabuse #protectchildren are some more ideas. Please share if you have other ideas, especially if they are short and memorable. A lot of us are on Twitter and can get this trending if we tweet and retweet the news coverage.
for those of us who are familiar with the watch tower society's 9-year affiliation with the united nations as an ngo (non-governmental organization), a portion of the latest "armageddon article" produced in the september 15th 2012 study edition provides some interesting reading.. for those not familiar with the scandal, i can do no better than point you in the direction of the pertinent article over on jwfacts.com, which you can access via the following link:.

to clarify, here is a letter from the united nations confirming the affiliation:.
Interesting. I called the headquarters a few years ago and asked about their current view of the United Nations. The guy I talked to couldn't find any quotes since they stopped being an NGO.
hey guy,.

If it's a real kingdom melody, we could just get the english version, rather than translating a translation (same thing with the scriptures). If someone here is familiar with the original language, it would make it easier to get a good translation that fits the original intent of the film.

Will these appear as English subtitles in the film? If so, what is the original language? When do you need the translation?

This sounds like an interesting project. I don't have the time at the moment to do much, but I'm bumping the thread so others will see it.
