Just nipped out to get a copy of the Independent. It's not just a small side note, it's a full half page article.
Well done for getting the attention, I know how hard it can be to get media interest in this stuff.
I've also forwarded a link for the Independent article to a contact I have who works with Irish newspapers. Maybe we can attract some interest here too.
@lovelylil . . . if you have a f/b, google, or twitter a/c I think you can post using that and it will post immediately.
@Gladring . . . nice going . . . include the Telegraph and IBT link as well
An interesting comment on the Independent online article:
It would be an interesting issue if raised in a child custody case - that the parent remaining in the church regards his/her departing spouse as "'mentally diseased'," - "seeking to infect others with the" disease - and teaching children vis-a-vis the departing parent "not receive them into our homes or greet them."
I would be inclined to think that a judge facing proof the this was the doctrine of the church of which a parent seeking to retain custody - or even have unsupervised access and visitation would take a very poor view of. Indeed, it likely would tip the balance against the Jehovah's witness parent.
In previous discussions about the offending article, it was mentioned that police/ human rights officials stated that unless the article led to discrimination then no action could be taken. I wonder if it's only a matter of time before this comes out?
If you Digg, please do so! Tweet, Facebook, Google+ - if you can.
sizemik,
I don't have any of those. But last night My comments posted right away, now I was told to wait. I will see what happens. But thanks for that information. Lilly
The Independent now has 384 comments . . . and some great comments too!
lovelylil . . . it may be a response to volume . . . be nice to think so. If it is, then even unpublished comments will be having an effect. I hope yours is published however . . . sounds like you put some work into it.
I hope so too sizemik. Am off to work, I will check in later to see if its up.
went to bed last night there were 40 comments check now there are 400. keep them coming.
Thanks for jumping in there, Size. David needs a smackdown!
