   Let's clarify for friend james; the above is an example of what in   
   principle that could be used to justify the subject and its slander using   
   familiar hypothetical jw "hall" content./examples.  But it sady is not yet   
   forthcoming.   
      
   So using it as a guide we await still friend james providing same for   
   another group as the subject declares of religious observation/worship/   
   ritual.
