The court can likely award far more than the requested amount. Their seeking a relatively small amount would increase their chance of winning as not viewed as excessive, and then after the precedent had been established it can open a floodgate of more such lawsuits for substantially higher amounts. It's a matter of strategy and simple logic.

Being stalked?
by Ghosthunter inafter calming down my two rowdy dogs, i kindly, but firmly, explained to these ladies that i had been df'd for almost 20 years and had no interest in talking to them.
they both smiled, invited me to the local kh and left very quickly.
the next week, a different car drove up in my driveway and two older men got out and i knew immediately that they were elders.

They are being told it is near the end and things not done before are being done "to snatch some out of the fire." Of course it's not true for the real truth is the higher-ups on down are guilty of hiding pedophilia as seen with the report about Ted Jarazs sexually molesting children. And he's at the top of ladder. This latest Armageddon fable along with the reality of Gulf War II serves to divert the attention of local elders from the criminal policies of the top heads in Brooklyn.

A possibility is that in prayers which you say outloud you are still using the name Jehovah and as the "angels" (i.e. pro-Watchtower-alias-"God's kingdom" humans via electronics) surf they are hearing it and referring them to call on you. The elders are being told by Circuit Overseers that they are "deep into the time of the end" when "all secrets are revealed and laid bare." The impending war and the sex pedophilia scandals from the top Watchtower heads in Brooklyn make them think such is true more than ever.

Dear "Jack", others have left links to more information about themselves. I sometimes see links to AJWRB, Free Minds etc. Why pick on the Free Christians? You also called this "spam" which is also unfair and untrue. Think about it.

Why would I be deleted? For mentioning the beliefs of the Free Christians when the beliefs of atheists and other groups are commonly posted here? But if my posting is deleted for any way then it will be viewed as a positive motivation to email a lot of people one on one telling who we are and that we are a great alternative to the Watchtower Society as well as you, "Jack." Perhaps I should Thank You, eh.
Hopefully Simon, you will read the whole short thread before acting if at all: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/post.asp?id=616273&method=reply&site=3

Hi, "Carmel." You also sound unkind and Watchtowerish. Christ associated with pagan Romans, a woman who was a Samaritan who had had many men, etc. Broaden out to be more like him.
As the following website in Australia shows true Christianity includes those who act Christlike regardless of which chuch door they may stand in. All truly Christlike person jointly form the body of Christian:

I believe Donkey is a Watchtower poser as shown by his/her previous postings. Regardless, Ex/Inactive JWs, consider starting your own Free Christians group(s). Easy, fast, can spread like wildfire.

Let me add that most meeting groups are usually small but can be larger - however your own group(s) may decide. Services can also vary. Some like to have scriptures read, some music and or song, a meal, sharing of experiences, opportunities to witness by going into the community to help those in need if not at their homes then via food banks, picking up trash, so on. We do believe in sharing our faith (although some more so than others) but unlike "evangelicals" in general do not claim to be know-it-alls except that we know that God (Jehovah/Yahweh/the Lord) wants us to be kindly, neighborly toward others even as God's Christ (our only one overall Leader) taught. We can also fellowship with non-Christians who are kindly although naturally can only give symbolic water baptism to those who say they are Christian. We have historically had ties with Unitarians and others as well.

You can dump the bad misteachings and believe what you feel is good. We're about freedom of expression as granted at Romans 14:1-6. Fellowship is love-based unity rather than absolute imposed uniformity. Many who were JWs or are inactive JWs etc continue belief God will turn Earth back into paradise and resurrects some on Earth as well as others to heaven. That's okay.
