Someone might consider pointing out to the judge that since the Congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses no longer consider the acceptance of blood transfusions by a member as a disfellowshiping offense[backed up by official WTS press releases], they can hardly be said to have a direct interest in the prosecution of this suit. By their own words, such a stance (whether or not to accept a blood transfusion) is a purely personal matter of conscience for the individual JW. The woman alone has had her personal rights violated.
