new Twitter case

When critics attack

Individuals associated with the Enmore Spiritualist Church have become the victim of several inaccurate websites and comment posts on the internet.

Members of the Church have tried to advise strangers who got caught up in the battle, to at the very least seek legal advice (now available at no cost from most solicitors. legal advice centres or a chamber magistrate) before making remarks on a subject they know little about.
It's worth noting some responses to similar cases:
 In Australia tweets have become the basis for defamation cases.

Liberal Party pollsters Lynton Crosby and Mark Textor are suing federal Labor MP Mike Kelly for defamation over a tweet in which he accused their campaign consulting firm of push polling.
Joshua Meggitt, the Melbourne man wrongly named by writer and television identity Marieke Hardy as the author of a hate blog dedicated to her, is now suing Twitter.
In the US, Michiel Oakes, a man convicted of the murder of celebrity dog trainer Mark Stover, has launched an appeal because a 19-year-old juror was tweeting throughout the trial, the Seattle Weekly reported.
In Britain last year, Joanne Fraill became the first juror to be prosecuted for contempt of court for using the internet and was jailed for eight months.
Fraill used Facebook to communicate with a defendant who had already been acquitted, The Guardian reported.

Twitter : the new libel cases

Will Marieke Hardy’s Twitter case change Australian law for ever?  Twitter is being sued for defamation by a Melbourne man who was wrongly identified as the author of a “hate blog” directed at writer and TV personality, Marieke Hardy.

update: 

ABC star Marieke Hardy settles over false hate blog claims :ABC indie personality Marieke Hardy has reportedly paid $13,000 to a man she wrongly accused of running a hate blog about her. 

The out of court settlement was reached after Hardy last week published a retraction on her blog and apologised to Melbourne man Joshua Meggitt after making posts and Tweets claiming he had authored a hate blog about her, reported The Age

 A New Zealand cricketer has been awarded £90,000 in damages by the High Court after suing for libel over a defamatory tweet, in what is thought to be the first Twitter libel trial heard in England.
 
Chris Cairns, who won 62 Test caps for his country and represented New Zealand on 267 occasions, sued Lalit Modi, the former chairman and commissioner of the Indian Premier League, over an accusation of match-fixing Mr Modi made on the microblogging service.

A little over a year ago, Courtney Love made history by becoming the first person to be sued regarding comments she made on Twitter when designer Dawn Simorangkir complained the singer depicted her as a thieving, drug-addled prostitute with violent tendencies on her old @CourtneyLover79 account. Last March, Love paid Simorangkir a $430,000 settlement, which, on top of lawyers' fees, is not chump change.

Ralph Waldo Trine

Ralph Waldo Trine was a philosopher, mystic, teacher and author of many books, and was one of the early mentors of the New Thought Movement. His writings had a great influence on many of his contemporaries including Ernest Holmes, founder of Religious Science. He was a true pioneer in the area of life-transforming thought. No other New Thought author has sold more books than he, his writings reaching far beyond New Thought circles out to the general public, which has bought and read Trine's books without ever knowing that they were New Thought.

Blogger Smacked With $2.5 Million Fine in Defamation Suit; Are Bloggers at Risk?

The answer is yes according to Australian libel expert Clive Evatt QC.

"not only the blogger who is often anonymous, but any person who supplies information to that blogger is held equally liable as to publication and can be sued"

In addition in March 2012 Yahoo Inc were ordered by the Victorian Supreme Court to pay damages of $220,000 to a Melbourne man for a libel that showed up in their search engine. That claimant is now suing other search engines.  Costs were awarded to him against Yahoo in the sum of approx $413,000.

Another expert says : "it is just a matter of time before the courts test the 12 month rule as well- it could be proved that every day a blog or website is published anew (unlike a print publication that disappears over time) and as the libel can be downloaded, there may be no time limit on a court action being taken. The days of anonymous blogging may soon be over as blog hosts share blame for internet defamation. Courts in every country are taking a dim view of US corporations who try to claim immunity under US law when they profit abroad"

Things are changing in the USA as well as the above case shows:

" If you are a blogger and heard about THE BAD LAWSUIT AGAINST A BLOGGER, you are probably concerned to know what is going on and are wondering if you are at risk doing what you love to do.

Well, it depends upon a few things. The answer may be, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps: 1) if you are up front, in your face defamatory (must be proven in a court of law); 2) if the state where you live hasn't updated its journalism laws; 3)if you do not cite your sources (But journalists are at risk for this as well and some of the finer ones have been caught passing off another's ideas and not giving credit for it.) 4) if you create out of thin air stories...extensive ones... that have no basis in fact and pass them off as fact, i.e. as in Shattered Glass, the film, based on a true story, or Frey's A Million Little Pieces,). But even then the idea of court is anathema for both sides and not entered into lightly. "

Victims In Psychic-Inspired Hoax Sue Police

A Texas couple who own a ranch that police searched following false information that was provided by a psychic are suing the police and several major news organizations for defamation.
The case began June 6, 2011, when a psychic called police and described a horrific scene of mass murder: dozens of dismembered bodies near a ranch house about an hour outside of Houston, Texas. There were rotting limbs, headless corpses, and, chillingly, many were children in this mass grave they described.
Deputies from the Liberty County Sheriff's office went to investigate but didn’t see anything amiss. After a second call the following day, dozens of officials from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the FBI, and the Texas Rangers were on the scene -- not to mention cadaver dogs, news helicopters, and gawkers. It all turned out to be a false alarm. There were no dead bodies; the psychic was wrong (or lying).

Vatican publishes guide on how to deal with 'supernatural phenomena'

 

from the UK Telegraph

They have been closely guarded for more than 30 years, but guidelines on how to deal with divine apparitions of the Virgin Mary and "supernatural phenomena" have now been released by the Vatican. 

 The "norms" on how the Roman Catholic Church should deal with mystical apparitions were initially drawn up in Latin in 1978 under Pope Paul VI and were intended for strictly internal use. They shed light on the sorts of apparitions which have inspired the establishment of shrines such as those at Lourdes in France and Fatima in Portugal, which attract millions of pilgrims a year, many in search of cures for illnesses or other "miracles".

Ever been to a Spiritualist Church?

Nothing to be frightened off..and it can be amusing and interesting as well as most informative,

Here is a video of what a typical service with readings can be like:

a son speaks about his father : Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle visited Australia and spoke at the Enmore Spiritualist Church in 1921. He gave his farewell address at the Church and thanked the congregation for the warm reception he had received from Spiritualists in Australia, despite also finding demonstrators outside his public meetings, demanding he be deported !

Recently we sadly discovered that the handwritten and signed speech written by Sir Arthur was stolen from the Church files during a break-in in 2010. Here is Adrian Conan Doyle talking about his father's beliefs:

Exciting new discussion board on Spiritualism

             Physical Mediumship 4U

As mentioned earlier, Enmore closed it's discussion board for a number of reasons but the main one was such a board needs a dedicated team of moderators to operate-a team with time on their hands to ensure 'spirited' debate will remain free of bitchy and personal comments while conveying helpful information.

You can no better than this board  and we at Enmore warmly recommend it as one-stop board for all interested in the ethereal: go HERE for the site.

From the BBC :

Modern Spiritualism

The Modern Spiritualist movement dates from 1848 when the Fox sisters of Hydesville, New York produced knocking sounds that were alleged to be messages from a spirit. Spiritualists communicate with the spirits of people who have died.

(Image shows Rev. Judith Rochester at the Lily Dale Assembly, NY, the world's largest Spiritualist community.)

Go to the BBC website and read thier brief outline on modern Spiritualism.

Board now closed

Please note : we have now closed the discussion board and warmly thank the 173 members who joined and posted many informative messages.

Unfortunately the time it takes to moderate such a board was becoming a time consuming task and the truth is there are quite a number of message boards about Spiritualism that do it that much better.
We recommend our members on the board now join another that we will recommend in the next few days.

George Galloway & The Enfield Poltergeist
