i guess some of you have heard that a woman that worked at a hotel and was forced to work on sunday's has now filed suit and won some major moolah.
so, how long before the pompous dubs who work on mtg night will follow suit and collect big bucks, i honestly think that a few have tried this before, but now that this woman and her bogus religion almost as crazy as dubs got a shitload of money, there will be many more lawsuits to come from a certain cult that either knock-knock on your door every weekend or sit in a subway station and just sit there and gossip about the other folks in the cong or steady dial up stuff on their phones..
Shirley, the JWs have already "wrote the book" on how to sue for exactly the reason that your OP is about
Three pages of court cases:

And more employment court cases here:

The JWs must be one of the most litigious groups there is. They set the precedent.
paying legal fees out of the world wide work fund is it legal to do it?
first we need to know what the purpose is for having a www fund.. i'm not computer savvy or an "it" when it comes to putting information together to show here like so many others here can.. will someone explain how the watchtower society can legally use the www fund to pay out monies, legal fees and court directed payments to the one who have been sexually abused by pedophiles from the watchtower organization.. again what is the sole purpose in establishing the www fund?.
is it not for kingdom interest world wide and not to use it to pay out their guilty criminal activity.
Charles, it is a time of disaster for the org. And yes, the funds come from the r&F's ice cream money.

"Our donations are also used to provide emergency relief aid to fellow believers in times of disaster"
I guess that is where the court expenses and child abuse payments are justified.
A time of disaster.
someone recently included the phrase from a talk, “cherished errors”, which made me think about something i wanted to get off my chest.
the societies use of manipulative language has been discussed on this site many time and i hope this adds to the ammunition to fight back against them.
periodically , i’ll run into someone and they’ll say “hendrixgrip, why don’t you come to the meetings anymore.” i’ll give them some not too specific reason like, “i’m struggling with the overlapping doctrine”.
Tex: Worst of all allowing the child abusers to remain inside for years
Worst of all is thinking that just booting out child abusers out of the so special jworg is the solution. What about how horrible it is to let an abuser loose in the community to harm more kids? Or is "keeping the org clean" the priority and forget about the rest of the world?
we know the answer but for the sake of discussion.
so satan is the ruler of the world and he is hellbent on destroying gods people, why?
satan controls 99.9 % of the world except for one little obscure religious group that no one pays any attention to.
NowWhat, this post reminds me of something I was told many, many years ago (when i was young, naive and not long after I had "escaped")...
I was speaking to a counselor and I expressed my concern about "demunz" who would attack a person once they left da troof and she pointed out how irrational that thinking was.
"If Satan really wanted you to leave the "one true religion", don't you think he would leave you alone once you have left? And think about this...if Satan and his demons leave you alone when you are a JW, maybe it is because he is happy when you are inside a Kingdom Hall".
... unlike the rest of humanity, you looked forward to mondays because it was a day off from a meeting..
...if you won't let your baby get a life saving blood transfusion.
sorry for my poor english, i hope to make not too many mistakes.
im a jw and in the last three years i have studied a lot the topic of the earth being flat.
i have a good scientific background so im not stupid or crazy.
Not sure: Where is our OP?
He fell off. Got too close to the edge

Earth measured: im scientifically and technically prepared
Oh no
I am speechless
the deeper you dig--the less impressive jw’s become!___________________you may think you know the men who are vitally important to the birth of the religion--but chances are good you’ve been kept in the dark.. _____________.
did you know?the 1st case heard by the supreme court of the united states concerning the watchtower society involved a director (an officer) of the watchtower, william franklyn hudgings.. a brief description of hudgings and his character.hudgings was an attorney, quack doctor, self-identified ‘scientist’, a pro-zionist, and religious enthusiast who over the years held various director and officer positions in the watchtower society, and the affiliated people's pulpit association and international bible students association.
at the time of this particular case, william hudgings acknowledged being the corporate secretary of the people's pulpit association and acknowledged that his daily duties included the administrative charge of printing of the watchtower magazine, the bible student's monthly, the kingdom news, and other watchtower publications.. (hudgings was also re-elected to the watchtower society board of directors in january 1919.
Vidiot: Theologians... conspiracy theorists... creationists...
You forgot plagarists...snake oil salesmen...and liars
i am trying to find the ridiculous beliefs jw had on the use of a binky or pacifier.
i did a search, but can't find it, i know others have referenced it on here.
i'm trying to share with my husband; we're talking about the stupid doctrines they came up with in the early years.. thanks!.
JWGoneBad: Wow...'Mother's' micromanaging our lives has taken on a new perspective and meaning!
Well...I don't think that the wacky ideas put forth in the Golden Age were directives from the org. Medical beliefs in early 20th C in America were (and still are) a bit "off" and the early Bible Students embraced many quack notions. And published them and promoted them.
If you think that the idea that a pacifier will cause tonsillitis is nuts...woe is the one who actually gets tonsillitis.
Tonsillectomy is called a minor operation. If so, getting well is a double major. If any overzealous doctor condemns your tonsils go and commit suicide with a case-knife. It's cheaper and less painful.
