I submitted a story to SlashDot ... they like copyright infringement stuff, and they like bashing religions that are sue-happy ...(like Scientologists)
A canadian website that posts quotes from the literature printed by the Jehovah's Witnesses (http://quotes.watchtower.ca ) is being sued by The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (the legal entity of the religious cult known as Jehovah's Witnesses http://www.watchtower.org )
The author of the site uses his own literature to help people see how they fulfill their own religious definition of "false prophets" and contradict themselves in their own theology.
The owner of the site posted the full Statement of Claim on another ex-Jehovah Witness board. (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/98096/1.ashx)
The most interesting thing is the Watchtower lawyers say the quotes could "embarrass" the Jehovah's Witnesses and that posting the literature online was a "breach of contract".
The Watchtower Society is making this a copyright infringement issue. Yet, reading between the lines of the Legal Statement it is evident "knowledge is power" - and they would appear to prefer people <strong>not</strong> know the truth about their history of mistakes and errors.The legal document is here.
