How are child abuse laws different from Watchtower corporate policy?
by Resistance is Futile inwhat is the official watchtower policy?
how does it compare with state child abuse laws?
is the watchtower more concerned with their image to the "world" than they are to the safety of children within their religion?.

WTBS and Appealing a Civil Judgement
by truth_b_known inin light of the candice conti civil trial against the wtbs and the pro-jehovah's witness/apologist comments posted on various news websites, i thought i would give a simplified explanaition of what is involved in appealing the outcome of a trial in the courts of the united states.. a trial, whether criminal or civil, usually ends with a verdict rendered by a jury.
in a criminal case the verdict is guilty or not guilty.
that same jury may decide the punishment in the event of a guilty verdict.. in a civil case a jury must decide based on the evidence whether the defendant is guilty of damaging the plaintiff.

When did JWs start saying that rejecting blood was a "main tenet" of their faith
by Shawn10538 ini have been preparing to reply to dr. mark galantowicz's comment on kabc channel 7 for a few days now.
and it seems to me i read somewhere that it came out during some trial that for jws to be able to sue doctors over the blood issue, it had to be a "main tenet" of their faith.
but if anybody knows off hand it would be great.. growing up a jw pioneering and being at bethel, i would never have said that rejecting blood is a "main tenet" of my faith.
