REVIEW OF JCS "BIG NEWS" ARTICLE
by Oroborus21 innote: the catholic molestation cases have mostly been evaluated under employment law theories not the tort of misrepresentation or under non-fraud related tort claims]; fails to address important legal considerations such as standing and statute of limitations; and finally and most importantly, the essay fails to address in any meaningful way the inevitable constitutional arguments that would be raised by opposing (watchtower) counsel.
supreme court justices do not have the time to browse through law journals and the implication that they would be interested in an essay is even more deceptive.
the society does not cite a 1960 study as evidence that blood transfusions are hazardous.. here is the actual quotation in context:.

Orwell, 1984, and the Watchtower
by RichieRich inso my english class just got handed (yesterday) 1984, by george orwell.
its a book i've been wanting to read for a long time, but haven't been able to (i read non stop for english class).. so i was really excited when i got the book.
from what i've heard about it, it seemed like it would be really pertinent for people in the watchtower.. all i can say is wow.

GET REAL PEOPLE !!
by Simon indo some of you expect?!?!.
i am extremely disappointed to read some people's comments about the latest news.
it is one thing to express and opinion, perhaps that you think it isn't as big as you imagined (one wonders what you imagined) but it is another to be downright insulting to people who have put a lot of time and effort into this.. get real.

Is it big news? Time will tell.
by Check_Your_Premises inwhen trying to predict what will or will not happen one needs to look at history, and facts of human nature.. 1. if a single lawyer thinks he/she can make a single dime suing the wt using this legal argument, he/she will sue!.
i think it is extremely likely that a law suit will be brought up soon.. 2. if a single news outlet thinks they can make a single dime telling this story, they will tell the story!.
i think this is where it is our responsibility to do everything we can to make the above extremely likely pending lawsuit known to the press.. 3. if any lawyer wins a single dime in a law suit against the wt, all the other lawyers will notice this and they will sue!.

Journal of Church and State: WT NO-BLOOD EXPOSE'
by AndersonsInfo in(baylor university, waco, tx) an essay entitled, "jehovah's witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation," found in the autumn issue of baylor universitys prestigious journal of church and state, published december 13, 2005, exposes the vulnerability of jehovahs witnesses religious organization to massive claims for compensation because of the religions misrepresentation of the medical risks of blood transfusions.
this milestone essay critically examines one of the religions main publications for teaching their children and new recruits about their blood beliefs, how can blood save your life?
the peer-reviewed essay details many misrepresentations of medical facts, which the religion partly relies on to support its blood prohibition, thus denying its members from making fully informed medical decisions.

Bethel letter about meetings, field service are mandatory for Bethelites
by VM44 indoes anyone have the bethel letter that states meeting attendence and field service are mandatory for bethel workers?
.
there is also another boe letter that states meeting attence and field service are voluntary for the ordinary jehovah's witness, because they are volunteers.. i am trying to find both letters as, together, they show bethel workers are, unlike ordinary jws, truly representatives of the watcthower .
