 International Lawyers: Handmaidens, Chefs, or Birth Attendants? A Response to Philip Alston   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
`Handmaidens' is not a word in common use at present and deserves some consideration.
The term is an archaic one, presumably chosen by Alston to reflect his thesis that mainstream public international lawyers are still concerned with questions pertaining to states and institutions while multinationals and other non-state actors are busy reshaping the globe.
Secondly, a handmaiden is a servant as opposed to one who serves and yet retains some autonomy of action - such as a chef, waiter or flight attendant.

 Research on the Endtime Handmaidens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Handmaidens, a charismatic ministry headed by Gwen Shaw, carries in its stock at least twelve books about trips to heaven, some of which shoot wide of the biblical record of this realm in significant areas.
In reprinting and distributing Intra Muros (meaning "Within the Gates"), which was originally published in 1898, the Handmaidens became culpable in spreading false doctrine because the book supports nineteenth century spiritualist ideas and the Mormon doctrine of eternal marriage between men and women in heaven.
Stories from the Handmaidens include visits with angels, trips to heaven and hell, bizarre meetings with the devil (sometimes casting out various types of demons), and strange tales about believers' identities as spiritual members of one of twelve tribes of Israel."

 The Royal Handmaiden Society VII: "We are brave--and hopeful--your highness!" - Jedi Council
We are a society formed in recognition of, and admiration of, the five loyal handmaidens of Queen Amidala--Sabé, Rabé, Eirtaé, Saché, and Yané.
One of the hardest roles to cast was that of Sabé, the handmaiden that fills in for the Queen when she is in hiding.
We of the RHS feel and think that the Handmaidens are unjustly overlooked in the Official SW establishment, as shown for example by the Official site, which apparently gives more creedence to anonymous Naboo regulars, Jabba's dancers from ROTJ-SE, and every single Podracer CGI alien over these human characterizations of loyalty, steadfastness, and bravery.
