Jehovah’s Witnesses Sue, Claim Their Widely Distributed Literature is “Secret”<\/a><\/p>\n

The Canadian branch of the religious sect Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and leader of Jehovah’s Witnesses, has filed a $100,000 lawsuit against the creator of http:\/\/quotes.watchtower.ca<\/a>\/ web site, claiming their own Watchtower articles are “embarrassing” to the Watchtower itself. “As a result of his activities, the Plaintiffs [Watchtower Society] have suffered and will continue to suffer damages, including but not limited to loss of reputation and goodwill.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit comes as a surprise to many as all of Watchtower’s texts are faithfully reprinted without commentary or criticism. The creator of Quotes web site stated “Yes, this is pretty amazing. “Confidential information”, indeed! I don’t recall it being labeled as such when I was delivering it to strangers homes!” Quotes is an ex-Jehovah witness. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The site itself is a great resource, and I am particularly fond of the footer:<\/p>\n
