  JWs have been breaking the law since it's creation. They have been happy to sell it's own publications in countries where it is banned and feel no sense of guilt whatsover. The Wtbts has even profited because of doing this. Most of us were JWs and saw nothing wrong with this and probably even congratulated those that did it. That's because we felt that the law was being broken for the greater good and that made it okay, even the right thing to do.

  Slimboyfat, you've replied now by your above post and I would think that the people who wrote to you that you didn't pm back will appreciate it. People in general are curious and others are probably checking with you to see if everything is okay, out of concern.

  I gather that you just want your space and that's fine, it is nice to have you back here.

  Maybe they were unable to build their extensive underground network of tunnels because it was too expensive to clean the soil that far down.

  Good questions incognito.

  Surely they can only sue for the actual costs that they incurred for the cleanup otherwise they are profiteering from a lawsuit and I thought that lawsuits are intended only to compensate. They would have to demonstrate to the court how they came up with the cost of remediation, that's not going to be easy if they didn't pay an outside contractor.

  Morningworship, this is the third thread that you have started with a link to an moderately rude but pathetic video.

  Was this enacted by JWs?

  It looks highly staged with a third person videotaping. Not all of us want to see a guy with his pants down being spanked.

  Splane says what they do about it is to send JWs from door to door to 'set the record straight'. How can they set the record straight when 95% don't even understand the processes in place and the damage they have caused?

  The leadership feels that it is not answerable for their own decisions and have left it up to the R&F to excuse them any way they can.
