  The following is published by JW LEAKS on our web site on our FAQ page: http://jwleaks.org/faq/
  
  
  DO YOU UNLAWFULLY PUBLISH COPYRIGHT MATERIAL FROM JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES OR THE WATCH TOWER SOCIETY?

  The structure of the internet allows JW Leaks to lawfully provide links to third-party web sites and pages that contain copyright material. The providing of a link to another web site that contains copyright material that can be downloaded is not a breach of copyright laws. Click on the below link for a example:

  <<< JW.ORG >>>

  Remember: Persons clicking on any links to third-party web sites, including JW.ORG, which may or may not contain downloadable files or documents, should make their own inquiries whether permission has been granted to host any such files or documents. The publishing of such link addresses are: 1. merely incidental to the activities of JW Leaks; and 2. provided to assist persons who are lawfully seeking the location of such files or documents.

  .

  HAS THE WATCH TOWER SOCIETY OR JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES EVER COMMENCED LEGAL ACTION AGAINST JW LEAKS?

  Yes. For example, Over the past 18 months, attorneys for the Watch Tower Society and Jehovah’s Witnesses have filed numerous ‘alleged’ copyright infringements against JW Leaks, on the basis of links we have published on our web site. However such claims are baseless under law.

  Click below to download a sample of an ‘alleged’ copyright claim filed against JW Leaks by Watch Tower Society and Jehovah’s Witnesses under the DMCA laws.

  Watchtower v JW Leaks

  The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble…” The U.S. government (and states, under the Fourteenth Amendment) must meet a high level of scrutiny before restricting speech. It is for this reason the server for JW Leaks is located in California and our IP Address is located in New York.

  A link, or hyperlink, refers to and describes the location of another internet resource. The act of linking to other web sites may be likened to protected “assembly” or association with those sites.

  “Tight Pants” by Mentally Diseased

  (with thanks to “Baggy Trousers” by Madness)

  Too tight pants in Kingdom Halls
  Spandex breaking all the rules
  Must not show your private jewels
  Watchtower’s ever changing rules
  All the elders are corrupt
  Apostates they don’t give a f***
  Trying not to think of when
  This system is about to end.
  
  Oh what fun we had
  In too tight pants it was a fad
  Theocratic school
  Was how to bend the scriptural rule
  Oh what fun we had
  The prophecies all turned out bad
  Overlapping ways
  We’re living in the last, last days.
  
  The truth about The Truth today
  Governing Body’s lost its way
  Make it up just as they go
  Spandex out it’s just for show
  Jehovah’s Witness gone insane
  Shunning family yet again
  Work at Bethel get no pay
  Trolley preaching’s here to stay.
  
  Oh what fun we had
  In too tight pants it was a fad
  Theocratic school
  Was how to bend the scriptural rule
  Oh what fun we had
  The prophecies all turned out bad
  Overlapping ways
  We’re living in the last, last days.
  
  Anthony Morris he’s the third
  There’s a reason that it rhymes with turd
  Bible preaching in the park
  Bible preaching after dark
  Too tight trousers, spandex flirt
  Camel-toe it’s got to hurt
  Elders come they think they’re Lord
  Back of the head with the silver sword.
  
  Oh what fun we had
  In too tight pants it was a fad
  Theocratic school
  Was how to bend the scriptural rule
  Oh what fun we had
  The prophecies all turned out bad
  Overlapping ways
  We’re living in the last, last days.

  Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers…

  Prior to publishing and releasing the following sensitive information, the members of the team at JW Leaks made formal inquiries with the Victorian Workcover Authority (VWA) and the administrators of Etihad Stadium (Melbourne Stadiums Limited) as to whether measures have been put in place to prevent the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia from operating any first aid health services and First Aid Department in alleged breach of applicable health and safety laws.

  We were assured that the Jehovah’s Witnesses will no longer have control of the First Aid management at the event but that St John Ambulance first aid officers “will be on site for each of the three days”. It is our understanding that this was done for the purpose of protecting the health and safety of all 70,000 daily patrons and delegates attending the convention. No mention was made of who is providing the mandatory first aid health services to the hundreds of employees and volunteers at the workplace during the setup and dismantling of the convention. We have no information in relation as to what as happened to the hundreds of members of Jehovah’s Witnesses who volunteered or listed their names to volunteer as staff for the First Aid Department at this convention.

  MEDIA ALERT

  16 October 2014

  Child Shunned by Jehovah’s Witnesses Convention at Etihad Stadium

  Melbourne, Australia

  While over 70,000 people attend the Jehovah’s Witnesses International Convention at Etihad Stadium this weekend, 17-19 October, one child will not be attending.

  A special needs child has been prevented from attending the religious event by the refusal of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their administrative corporation, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia, to accommodate any potential emergency health needs of the child.

  Allegations have been made that the child has been discriminated against on the basis of her emergency medical needs. Despite efforts by Melbourne Stadiums Limited (MSL) the operators of Etihad Stadium, the Jehovah’s Witness event organisers refused to help the child attend.

  The father plans to lodge a discrimination complaint with the Human Rights Commissioner on behalf of his daughter against the organisers of the Jehovah’s Witnesses International Convention at Etihad Stadium. “If I can’t find a lawyer to represent my little girl in this complaint then I will lodge it myself,” the father said, adding, “children should not be discriminated against because of their disabilities or medical needs.”

  In a letter issued this week to the managers of Etihad Stadium, MSL, the father of the six-year-old child thanked the stadium administrators for their help over the past six months in trying to assist in attending the event. In his letter the father stated:

  “Part of the medical management plan for our daughter is for us to register her condition with the first aid department at any large event we attend. This includes giving the first aid officers a copy of our details, our daughter’s medical condition and history, and the medical emergency management system in place in the event she does suddenly collapse and needs emergency treatment.”

  The child and her family’s attendance at the event hit a hurdle when the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Watchtower Society informed the father that they do not provide any health services in the State of Victoria and therefore cannot accept any health information.

  The statement coincided with the following case relating to Jehovah's Witnesses being heard in the Russian Federation Supreme Court:
  
  "On October 8, 2014, the Russian Federation Supreme Court will hear the appeal of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Samara regarding the liquidation of their Local Religious Organization (LRO). Earlier, a lower-court decision declared the Samara LRO to be extremist. If the Supreme Court does not reverse the ruling, the more than 1,500 Witnesses living in Samara may face serious consequences." - JW.ORG

  The following news interview was reported in the English language version of Pravda.Ru on 8 October 2014…

  The UN Security Council unanimously, which is a rare occasion during the recent years, adopted a resolution on the fight against terrorism. Pravda.Ru interviewed executive secretary of the Presidium of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Araik Stepanyan, about old and new threats in the Middle East and in the whole world.

  “Why did Russia support the United States? Not that long ago, there was heated debate on the USA’s interference in the internal affairs of Syria and Ukraine. In fact, the United States wants to destroy Russia by the hands of Ukrainian fascists. Yet, Russia supported the States. Why so?”

  “Russia has its list of terrorist organizations. Some of them, included on our list, are not included on the list of the United States. They consider them fighters for freedom and democracy and support some of them. Russia calls for the coordination of databases of terrorist organizations, so that they are clearly considered as terrorist organizations for the whole world. In this case, it would be possible to catch members of such organizations and bring them to trial, rather than simply bomb sovereign states. Russia voted for coordinated legal international action.”

  “Is the current bombing of ISIS in Syria a start of the operation that will then proceed to the destruction of Bashar Assad?”

  “ISIS has everything. It has members from Jehovah’s Witnesses, from archaic Judaism, from the criminal world … That is, they built a fine, universal and simple ideology. The main idea of ​​it is the false understanding of the end of the world. To be saved, one needs to unite and go to the end of the world together. In another world, they will have beautiful women, etc.”
