Everyone thinks they're going down the tubes toward financial insolvency but I too think they're flush with cash. I look at all of the measures they've taken as ways to fatten their wallets and think that they could cover any sexual abuse lawsuits without it making a dent. I know we all want to see them crash and burn and hope that finances bring them down but I personally don't see it.

So then poopie, they have a legal right to bar him. It's not rocket science.
Again, why does he want to be there where he's unwanted? Does he think tgat somehow he will get a lawsuit out if this or something?

Right, the law is the law. If I don't want you at my house and you come in I can go after you legally. I don't see where he has the law on his side. I'm open to understanding but it isn't reasonable from what I can see.

It's their private property. I'm pretty sure they can ask you not to return for no reason if they want. Disturbance or not, if they specifically tell you not to come back, you're not welcome. Why in the world would you want to go where you're not wanted? Shouldn't this be the impetus to leave them behind?

between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?

People were indoctrinated to different levels. I love it when someone can't understand why everyone else isn't exactly like them, but believes that other people are weird, it can't be them even if theirs was the non-conforming story. Ummm, maybe because we're different. We grew up in different families with different pressures and different personalities. I was the oldest kid, both parents were rabid by the books dubs, and I was a natural people pleaser looking for love from two narcissists. That transferred over to the authoritarian and narcissistic Watchtower society that kept me locked down with fear of losing any hope for the future, the only one I had ever known, along with everyone I had ever known, maybe even my wife.
Good for you for getting out sooner. I'd be interested to know what your situation was growing up in it. The non "twat waffle" way of going about asking legitimate questions is to go in with humble curiosity rather than arrogant criticism, if you really want to know instead of trying to set yourself up on high.

Update on the $4000 day fine - Padron v Watchtower
by berrygerry infrom 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).

That's Jehovah's loving organization for you, obfuscating and flip flopping while worshipping their God of money (or appearance). In a judicial committee they expect members to be graphic in detail of their personal matters but the organization hides in every way possible. They are disgusting hypocrites.
The next time someone is pulled into a JC they should tell the elders that they have no control over the legal entity of their genitals and therefore they cannot give details. You'll have to ask my (insert genital here) because I cannot answer for it.

What was the biggest thing that convinced you that

The claim of being identified as true followers because of the quality of love and the complete lack of love shown to those they were supposed to preach to, to outsiders in times of disaster, to those people that were depressed or lowly in the Kingdom Hall, to those that erred or chose a different path, etc. Their "love" is actually control at best, shallow and conditional. They're narcissists.
That was the first thing. Then I came here and researched things and realized the religion was just a cult built on lies. Then I looked into the Bible itself and found the same. I had no intention of becoming an atheist, I simply saw no viable alternative for me and my journey. Others vary, and that's cool too.

Once an apostate, always an apostate there video. You can't eat from the table of demons and then move on like it never happened. For what association does the light have with darkness? You're one of us now. Welcome!
