: To me this is no different from the Society's continuing to promote a dangerous spiritual product.

Now who exactly should legally define a "dangerous spiritual product"? IMO, government should stay out of that business.

: They should be called to account.

How so? What are the parameters for deciding what penalties shall be levied against JW leaders?

Cults, even perceived dangerous ones, have their rightful place in society. They should not be exterminated by means of government agencies. We'd be setting a dangerous precedent if JW leaders were held accountable.

Consider whether certain USA veterans who went to war for certain "freedoms" considered Bill Clinton's presidency an injustice. Who are they going to sue?

All I know is, I was a good JW at one time. I even repeated "no blood, no blood" during a hospital visit. I thought I was doing the right thing. JW leaders weren't responsible for my words. I was, nobody else.

Cyg, who's opinion is subject to change, because he allows himself that latitude
