Hi all,
In all fairness, since the French gobvertnment, and also society at large there have begun to look askance at the JWs, there may be a hint of bias in the suggestion of a causal relationwhip. It does not appear that this incident is shunning-related as seems certain with the Bryant case.
Besides the cumulative effect of all this negative publicity, abetted in no small measure by the internet's capacity for almost instantaneous and global disclosure, what really is needed is a huge monetary damages judgment against the WTBTS. They need their noses bloodied in court and their pockets drained of a nice chunk of cash... THAT'S THE ONLY LANGUAGE THOSE GEEZERS UNDERSTAND!
