i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .

opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.

the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.

Here's my interpretation:

IANAL, but I worked for one for 5 years.

The judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.

Defendants are still "guilty." They will be paying the 130,000 for therapy and treatment, or whatever it was to begin with.

The judgment against Watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed...

This whole sentence sounds weird and is poorly written, but here's what it sounds like to me, and I don't think it's good news. It is my opinion that this means that Watchtower actually won in reversing the punitive damages.

...with directions to enter judgment for Watchtower on punitive damages.

The decision of the court was to find in favor of the Watchtower on punitive damages. If Watchtower was to be required to pay punitive damages, it would have been a judgement for the plaintiff, not Watchtower. The sentence reads "...enter judgement for Watchtower." Watchtower was trying to have the punitive damages reversed on appeal, and the judgment was in their favor. (The punitive damages were the ones that rose to the millions of dollars amount, FYI)

The parties are to bear their own costs on appeal.

This last sentence is self explanatory.

Again, I am not a lawyer, but this is how I am interpreting it based off my experience.

I really need to do more. I've been trying a lot lately. But it's hard to break the pattern of just coming home exhausted at the end of the day and not doing anything. That's not fair to my wife.

So my goal is to at least do one thing for her every day.

God evolved from chimpanzee diety

by freemindfade in

researchers say todays lord almighty shares many traits in common with the chimp deity, including color vision and omniscience.. .

berkeley, cachallenging long-held views on the origins of divinity, biologists at the university of california, berkeley, presented findings thursday that confirm god, the almighty creator of the universe, evolved from an ancient chimpanzee deity.. the recently discovered sacred ancestor, a divine chimp species scientists have named pan sanctorum, reportedly gave rise over millions of years to the lord our god, maker of heaven and earth.. although perhaps not obvious at first glance, there are actually overwhelming similarities between the supreme being of today and this early primate deity who preceded him, said dr. richard kamen, a leading biologist who also heads berkeleys paleotheology department.

the holy chimp moved around on all fours, but its descendants eventually began walking upright to expend less energy while foraging across the infinite reaches of the universe.

This was amazing...LOL

Well done, freemindfade.

What's really interesting is that Isaac didn't bring up 1975 or 1874 first, but it was the elders who did! It shows they're thoroughly familiar with TTATT talking points.

That line about Jehovah not forcing anyone to come here...it's such total horse crap.

Do the elder's really sincerely believe that born-in's don't feel stuck and forced when they start having doubts?

I'm so tired of these people.

Today's (4/12) WT study - all about Jesus

by OneEyedJoe in

today's watchtower study article is all about jesus.

this stuck out to me after a year of hanging out on here where one frequent point of criticism is that jws claim to be christians but never talk about jesus.. anyone think it's a coincidence that today was the "special talk" follow-up to the memorial?

i think not - this is the most attended sunday meeting of the year, complete with many ubms, studies, and miscellaneous other potential victims who have been subjected to a coordinated effort to pressure them into attending.
