    I don't know if this is a bad idea or not. I'm just putting it out for comment. But is it possible to put a note on the Wikipedia article, Criticisms of Jehovah's Witnesses, about the release of the flock book online that contains information so secret that the Watchtower is attempting to keep it out of the hands of the rank and file JW? One which was released by a currrent elder. Would it be illegal to write something like that but without quotes? Don't know, just asking.

    There's no legal problem. But, my understanding of Wikipedia rules is that they require a reputable source. Anything from a bulletin board is inadmissible by Wiki standards, so you cannot cite this or any other board.

    Now, if the WT Society ever sues over this, then it will hit the press and that could be cited as a reputable source.
