Sadly, the WTBTS and all organized religions are NOT running out of white-wash. Add to that, "a sucker born every minute."
What they've done is convince people that there is a spiritual (read "invisible") bucket, spiritual brush and spiritual whitewash and they should be privileged to take part in the wonderful work. When you've done that, there's a never ending supply of suckers.

What's the over/under on WT still appealing the negligence ruling? I bet they do.
-------
EDIT: Barbara, good point. Is it possible, though, that they could put out a JW dot ORG official press release about the 'victory' and not even mention the negligence ruling?

EdenOne: That sentence means that the judgement on punitive damages was in Watchtower's favor. "...judgment for Watchtower."
------
Barbara is right. It is still a positive outcome.
However, I wanted to see Watchtower have to pay. I was hoping they wouldn't have any room to spin this as a 'victory.'

Here was what Watchtower argued in their Reply Brief for the appeal:
Finally, with respect to punitive damages, Watchtower illustrates how (I) there was insufficient evidence as a matter of law to show malice to support the award of punitive damages against Watchtower; and how (J) punitive damages were misused in an attempt to force Watchtower to change its nationwide policy as perceived by Plaintiff.
The court's judgement was "for Watchtower" on this point. Again I'm not a lawyer, but it sounds to me as if Watchtower will not be required to pay any punitive damages.
As to the details and verbiage of the Court's written opinion, that remains to be seen as the document isn't available online yet. The court could conceivably only agreed with point J of the brief, thus possibly leaving the door open to a different amount in punitive damages. But, if they agreed with both lines of arguments from the brief, then I would bet on them not being required to pay any 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.
