  Update on the $4000 day fine - Padron v Watchtower

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  from reddit:.

  this was an oral argument to dismiss the $4000/day fine.

  both sides presented their arguments and now the judges will write an opinion (30 to 90 days).

  ok, so hot on the heels of the announcement at the agm, we have been told that there are probably only 12 magazines left!.

  yes, there will be only 3 wt each year, and 3 awakes.... and that they will do this for two years, then reprint those issues.... so yes, the "abundance of spiritual food" is limited to 12 more magazines..... surely, this is proof of the end coming so soon!?!

  Spiritual paradise is a heart condition and not connected to and ORG, that's what they said?

  according to a post over at reddit this was said at the annual meeting.

  did anyone else hear this?

  this is huge and very telling if they did actually say this.

  "Maybe even claiming their being called home. So they sneak out the back door.

  ....disappearing in the twinkling of an eye. To the Cayman Islands. lol

  I have thought the same thing as purrpurr. Paradise is figurative not literal.

  Oh....we have seen this soooo many times. I love it when they appoint a young Elder who has no kids, no steady job, no education, no home (still living in parents basement) and NO CLUE! So I'm going to take my problems to this guy and have him tell me what to do? Really? It's laughable!

  i'm at the recorded meeting right now.

  trying to hide my disgust sitting up front listening to geoffrey jackson quibble about the pharisaical minutai of sanctification vs. vindication.

  the audience is thrilled that they now have 'permission' to say god's name can be vindicated.

  The carts will be around for a while. It keeps the Dubbies busy and they feel important and relevant.

  They will get rid of the carts and door to door when it is just too embarrassing for the dubs to be in public. If JW's can not defend themselves, they get nervous.

  Once it gets to that point, WT will tell the rank and file that the ark doors are closing and Jah's message has been given to all. The preaching work is complete. Fear, obligation and guilt work wonders! If it did not work, WT would not continue to use it!
