  WT Lawyers response in Hines v. Watchtower CSA case 2/11/22

  by iloowy.goowy in

  this is the link to the memorandum of law in the hines v. watchtower csa case filed last friday 2/11/22.https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/viewdocument?docindex=vzujfhgk0etye/azc/kcbg==.

  it is the wt lawyers reply in the trial where deborah hines accuses wt hierarchy even governing body members of continuing to employ a known child abuser, her own dad, at bethel because he was indispensable to them in video-production.

  the slimy wt excuses start on page 7 of 28 where, as far as my non-legally mind can understand, the wt lawyers say the governing body can't get sued because they're not a corporation, nor are they mandated reporters of abuse, meaning they don't have to say anything by law even if they know a crime has occurred.. the slimy wt lawyers are also pretty good at playing with words to hide the fact that the governing body does run the business of the watchtower but from behind the scenes.

  It seems that the latest in the Hines v. WT case is that the stipulation for the case is discontinued by agreement among the defendants and plaintiff lawyers.

  https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=dW3e8BXSZBnhJHLT8RY8sw==

  In the above court document from January 23 it says:
  

  IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the undersigned, the attorneys of record for Plaintiff DEBORAH HINES and Defendants WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF NEW YORK; THE GOVERNING BODY OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES; and JOHN AND JANE DOES 1-20, that whereas no party hereto is an infant or incompetent person for whom a committee has been appointed and no person not a party has an interest in the subject matter of the action, the above entitled action be, and the same hereby is, discontinued with prejudice, and without costs to any party. This stipulation may be filed without further notice with the Clerk of the Court.
  

  I've bolded the words which mentioned that the action be "discontinued with prejudice and without costs to any party".

  Does that mean a settlement out of court?

  Taking after Lett... more money going out than coming in. "Things are bad" in Lloyd Land

  lloyd published a video, "things are bad," pretty much along the lines of lett's appeal for more money.. he'll have to let go tbo who does his editing, if he doesn't get more sponsor money.

  he even mentions dijana.

  he claims the defamation has hurt his family.. but he says the defamation suits are still ongoing and will take maybe years since it caused great harm to his channel saying that due to the defamation hundreds of his supporters dropped off because the defamation gave them the impression that he was someone he isn't and that led supporters to think he was misleading them somehow.. you can watch if you can sit through it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5hinrjexm4.

  I think maybe he'd have more money to pay TBO, and support his family if he didn't spend it on trips to Thailand and on Lawyer fees? What do you think?

  OPINIONS PLEASE: I propose a new strategy against the Watchtower policy of DISFELLOWSHIP

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i need your opinion and a discussion...tell me what you think, both pros and cons...the governments of norway and russia have both targeted watchtower's severely inhumane policy of disfellowship separating and isolating members by ostracizing them and labeling them as 'mentally diseased", etc.

  dis fellowship.is a mushy concept unfamiliar to non-jw's.that word doesn't convey brutal, cold, and uncaring shunning and the impact on vulnerable persons cut off from family and friends.i propose swapping the phrase "religious apartheid" for the term "disfellowship" because it is significantly more impactful, familiar, and gut-wrenching.jw's teach practice and promote discrimination, opprobrium, and animus in punishing by isolation those who disagree with their doctrines.

  moreover - it is a de facto death sentence both spiritually and (according to the expectation of armageddon) literally as well.

  You are right, Terry.

  From the Australian proceedings, it was obvious the WT wanted to confuse and obfuscate the court, to the point of saying a person disfellowships him or herself and shun the congregation.

  Angus Stewart, though, did an excellent job of getting out exactly what the doctrine and practice of the JW/WT is in reality.

  Words convey ideas clearly if we understand the connotation and exact meaning. Otherwise, the same words can mean different things in different cultural and societal settings.

  Associating the WT doctrine and practice of disfellowshipping with relations in a way others can identify with, calling it religious apartheid, brings a deeper emotionally felt understanding to it.

  Kudos! I'll definitely start referring to it and describing it that way.

  Beyah the God of the Jews?

  having stumbled upon this little tidbit, i thought i'd share.

  i've a few times mentioned the midianite or kennite hypothesis which assumes the numerous ot texts that describe yahweh as having migrated north to judah represent credible mnemonic history.

  while reading an article by prof. israel knohl i learned something rather surprising.

  Initial B is a preposition as you mentioned not part of the name. Are you saying it parallels with the name Baal? Because "in Baal" would be b'Baal" and in Yah would be "baYah". https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D7%91%D6%BE

  Cloud rider is definitely a Divine reference. That is why the Hight Priest threw a hissy fit when Jesus said he would see the Son of man coming in the clouds, and called it blasphemy.

  Do masks provide perfect protection, no.

  DO they offer some protection, yes. And that is better than no protection at all.

  drinking wine in the Kingdom

  something jumped out at me that i never paid attention to while reading further into matt 26...in vs 28, he tells them his blood is to be poured out for the many for forgiveness of sin.

  but note vs 29 but i say to you: i will no menas drink again any of this product of the vine until that day when i drink it new with you in the kingdom of my father.

  cross reference luke 22:18 for i tell you , from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.. what is the point of all of this: matt 26:29 " i drink it new with you " mark 14:25 " drink new in the kingdom of god.

  In fulfillment of Psalm 69 Jesus drinks of the fruit of the vine at the cross. It is the fourth and last cup of the Passover seder.

  JOHN 19:28-30 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He delivered up His spirit.

  The hyssop brings back to mind how the blood of the lamb was brushed onto the doorposts on the first Passover.

  hi friend`s ,i have my son and dil living with us ,which has been ok,overall ,quite a few years now ,however ,a few months ago they decided they wanted a dog ok ?

  we had one a toy poodle for about 16-17 years and i just loved her as did my wife.. a few months ago my son wanted a dog and got a french bulldog as a pup ,which was ok by us .. however to cut a long story short, yesterday i was out in the back yard and the dog lunged at me and started attacking me in such a way as i can only describe as being frenetic in his attack ,in trying to ward off his attack and getting away from him i fell over and i believe if my son hadn`t finlly restrained him he would have mauled me .

  i am 83 years old and my wife has just turned 80. and i dont want that to happen to her .. i don`t know the dog is what 4-5-6 months old i`m not sure , and been living with us all this time ,however i`m going to tell them to get that dog out of my house by the week and and a half or i will one way or another .. i am not going to tolerate that in my household and if he don`t like it he can go also .. i`m not being unreasonable am i ?

  Smiddy, you did the right thing. That dog can't be trusted. Either they get rid of the dog or can find somewhere else to be with their dog but you should feel safe in your own home.

  What the heck is so hard to get?

  Elohim can mean more than the one Almighty God, the Son is Elohim like the other sons of God, read psalm 82.

  It is like in English when you say the Administration. Well there is only one CEO Almighty. Not all members of an administration are the same person, but all are administrating, and running things. Not all members of the Board are the one same person, but all are members of the one same Board.

  The OT is henotheistic not monotheistic. There are many Elohim, but no Elohim is the Father except the Father, the only one who comes close is the Son, the spokesman for the Father. They can both wield their administrative power through the Spirit. The Board is a Divine Council.

  Search for Michael Heiser and the Divine Council for some good insight into what the Hebrew text says about Elohim.
