I agree with Apognophos & AlphaMan. I think one should not be hasty to judgement and should get all the facts and know the whole story. Site planning can be very complicated. Sometimes there are very few options. I've seen some lots that were deemed unbuilldable because no working site plan could be found.

Apognophos: expecting someone to build in a way that defers to a neighbor, without any compensation or contract made between them, is setting a dangerous precedent

I agree with that. That could extremely complicate "neighbor law" and make people afraid to buy property. Building codes, zoning laws, etc. are complicated enough as it is. If neighbors' preferences had to be factored in, it could be a nightmare.

I agree that if there was some kind of gentleman's agreement made by those who are in a position to make such an agreement, it should have been honored, but we don't know the whole story. We don't know what was said and we don't know who said it.

yeah I noticed too more and more bad public relations between the JW and the community

anddon'tcallmeshirley: HE was there first, not the KH.

did we read the same article? Because the one I read said the KH bought their property first. I'd never in a million years expect my neighbor not to develop his property anyway he saw fit simply because I liked to sit and look out my dining room window.

and as for me being a JW......technically yes. Haven't been to a meeting in almost a year. Not that it has anything to do with this. I'm just taking an unbiased look at the situation and not looking for any weak excuse to jump all over the organization.

You can't punish someone legally for being a jerk...

...but you can let everyone know that he was a jerk.

In fact, sometimes that's even more effective.

The JW religion is very self-centered and really has no feelings towards anyone not their own. How many charities does the JW religion run? None.

This was all about theocratic warfare and lying to gain enough time to get the foundation poured. Legally no doubt the JW's are in the right, but morally....they could care less what "dead people walking" think. From the looks of the size of that lot I'm sure a compromise could have been reached. However, the JW's are only about their rights. That should be a fun territory to work now. LOL

The guy should build a hideous watchtower in his backyard to view the mountains from.
