as much as enjoy dissing on the jws, this article is a case of some douchebag organizer being a douchebag.
this isn't a flaw of the organization, it is one or more humans being insensitive and refusing to provide minimal assistance.
-Removed-no, i don't subscribe to "X is a part of organization Y, X did a bad thing therefore Y is bad".
"This is an international conference and the JW leadership are accountable for the accessibility of all participants"
and before knowing the official stance of the organization, further discussion is impossible. i really don't want to read your link again, did that man discuss directly to the grand poobah of the jws? or did he talked to some scared peon who wouldn't wipe his ass without written consent?
-Removed-What do you hope to accomplish with this post? Showing how evil JW's are? Doesn't that put you in the same boat as shia attacking Sunni? Baptists attacking Methodists? Exactly what is to be gained by such attacks?
Of course there are bad people in all religions. What is there about JW that riles you up?

plenty. but that is not the issue here.
the issue here is to prove the actions of a few members of an organization are reflective of the organization's view. this has yet to be proven.
-Removed-did you ignore what i said? did the organizers personally dismissed a request (that was probably among thousands) ? was it malice or simply carelessness involved? can you understand that right now we only have the father's account of the issue?
and no, what leadership does doesn't necessary reflect the views of the organization.

or even more likely, one peon among many processing thousands of requests and afraid to make a decision outside of his/her instructions.
there is plenty wrong with the jws, but crying wolf doesn't help
-Removed-Why the relentless attacks on the JW's? I don't agree with a lot of there doctrine, but as a believer in Jesus Christ... I see no need to castigate them or the organization at every turn. Also, do not see the need to do that with those that don't believe.
I know you claim to be a Christian, is there nothing in your belief system that teaches you how to be with others? Believers or not?
... Just wondering
