    No, Baltar, I didn't miss the point. I thought the same thing. I also though that it would be a big turnoff to those they just invited through their 'greatest campaign ever'.

    Of course, I'm familiar with ToUs and most of it is a CYA sort of thing. It's out there so they CAN have a legal leg to stand on if they want to. Most of the time, they won't.

    Most sites have a ToU, but I find it odd to call attention to it like that. Just really strange.

    I can see it's time to bring out the smelling salts again.

    There's nothing remarkable about a website having terms of use, particularly around the issue of accessing downloadable items that are copyrighted. It falls under the umbrella of intellectual property rights that most countries have legislative policies and laws on. Those who make use of such terms and conditions are required BY LAW to clearly publicise them to minimize inadvertent breaches and as an act of goodwill ( i.e., not be subject to charge of entrapment as in not warning about copyright infringements then suing a party for doing so.)

    Now, please take a few nice deep breaths.

    Two reasons for the terms of use : 1) It's a CULT! 2) It's for people like me and you exposing the CULT!

    Thank you sir82 for that post, just goes to show you not only does the JW CULT twist the scriptures, but the try and twist the law...

    JW GoneBad- for them to get a little "testy" they would need to have some testies.

    Maybe they could ask the elderettes if they could borrow theirs.

    hold up- they can tell what sites youve been too before going on jw.org and logging in? i was bouncing around apostate sites then logging in as an elder and downloading tons of letters to the BOE haha maybe thats why they deleted my access after a few days of that! wow

    Resistance is futile.

    Can they assign themselves the right to not allow us (statutory) fair use of the materials from the site that are written and disseminated in other places and formats?

    What am I missing?
