I have heard about this lawsuit (through the grapevine) and it baffles me that it has been taken seriously by anyone. The fact that it even made it to court (if it has) sets a precedent, doesn't it? I mean, why should NA even have to defend itself against what I consider a frivilous charge? There's a couple of older threads here at SR where this subject was discussed at length:

http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...hova-vodo.html (Should NA Allow Other Reading Into The Meetings IE Bible, AA BigBook, Jehova, Vodo?)

It is my belief that although a frivilous lawsuit like this cannot be won, the fact that it was brought against NA is a great cause for concern. Because we are a not-for-profit organization, any legal fees we have to pay takes money away from what we have to do everywhere.

Need2recover, you say Steven appealed "the decision" several times - what decision? Was it thrown out of court? (It should've been)
