Dedpoet - I don't know what those watching this case unfold thought, but I can bet every penny I have they NEVER became Jehovah's Witnesses, or even rushed to their own doors when JWs called!
An organization that calls itself 'The Truth' is built ENTIRELY on lies.
Slimboyfat: 4. I disagree that the Witnesses went after quotes because it was embarrassing. I think they would pursue the same action against anyone who stole their material on such a scale and broke copyright laws.
I think that Quotes would have beat the lawsuit if he had the resources. He was beat as all large corporations beat the individual, by sheer force of numbers. From the horse's mouth:
My research and information website, http://quotes.watchtower.ca/ is now closed, due to costly legal intimidation from Watch Tower Society. You can read about it here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/104279/1.ashx and also view earlier threads I have started here for the background information. My site was entirely fully cited collection of quotes from the publications of the Watch Tower Society, grouped into relevant categories. No opinion was expressed and no conclusion was drawn. I let the reader use discernment. You can contact me via email; I will post my email address in human-readable but non-machine-readable form in an attempt to prevent spam: peter.mosier %_AT_% gmail.com

Paragraph 31 of the Watchtower claim against Quotes:
31. The Defendant’s main purpose in operating the website is not "fair use", but rather to try to embarrass the Plaintiffs by quoting selectively from some of the Religious Works in a manner that misleads Internet users as to the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses in.

Prior to the internet, the watchtower's greatest "enemy" was their
older publications, which clearly displayed their many doctrinal flip
flops. However, they could keep them away from most of their more
recent converts far more easily than they can now so many of them
are on the internet.
The action backfired on them though - instead of just one site, there
are several now, and plenty of opportunity for anyone with an internet
connection to research the org's past history. It's no wonder the wt
hate the internet so much!
Could it possibly for hundreds of ex witnesses to set up a version of the quotes site, all ever so slightly different, the WTBTS would have a mission trying to pursue them all through the court

That was done around the time of the watchtower's legal action,
and there are several Quotes sites on the net these days. I use
this one for reference myself,

but there a few others.
Hi Danny I see from one of your posts that you have family in Naples. I am fading from a Spanish language congregation. And I live in Naples. Are you originally from down here?
