I sense the thread is about to be hijacked.
One point - Last time I checked Naeblis is NOT part of any "cult" and is a "free thinker"

Hawk,
It is an awful story. Do you have a personal email or address of the father? I would like to send a nice word if I could. If you think it's innappropriate, I understand.
My addy is [email protected]
It's such a tragedy. If I were the father, my heart would be in two.

His name is Lawrence (Larry) Hughes
You can reach him by going here - it is his work Email. He will be very down after spending close to 200,000 dollars in legal bills, his wife and other daughter have left him and shun him, other firends shun him, and of course his daughter who he tried desparately to save is about to die.
Its just damn awful. I hope Lawrence seeks out and finds some happiness but he will need a lot of support and no doubt therapy. No doubt, it will take him a damn lot of time to get to a point where he will be somewhat okay again.

This poor girl was killed a long time ago, when the Watchtower started to fill her mind with garbage.
Even if you force blood, a die-hard dub of mental lack, will have the will to die, not the will to live.
Therefore, she could not ever get better with Watchtower trash in her veins.

Did I miss something or did Wayne Mckee (JW ELDER Calgary) state that this was not a religious issue but a human rights issue. Two points: The WTBTS has always fought to establish that blood is sacred and for that reason blood is refused. Secondly, their involvement is "prima facia" evidence that it is a religious issue involving their religious doctrine. Why this "Human Rights" spin? Is this an attempt to ward off liability because their blood policy may change and this little girl has followed THEIR rule . IF THE POLICY CHANGES IT COULD BE CONSTRUED TO HAVE BEEN FRIVOLOUS. BY FOCUSING ON HUMAN RIGHTS THE ATTENTION IS TAKEN OFF OF THE BLOOD POLICY ITSELF AND THIS BECOMES, NOT A CASE INVOLVING A FRIVOLOUS POLICY BUT, A CASE WHERE THE LITTLE GIRL IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE AND THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE.

hawkaw, I didn't realize that the daughter's name had been published as early as July 03, 2002. I thought she had only been known as "Mia" at that time?
