    I would love to see it happen.

    I would love an en-masse lawsuit.

    I would love to 'let loose the hounds of Hell' on the Wt and see it ripped to shreds for it's crimes against humanity.

    Mouthy thank you for your prayer. I am not nor will I ever become a Witness. Its my hubby that was in for 10 years hoping to solve his marital problems. He left and was out for 19 years because he " got tired of it all" Then the tornados in Alabama April 27,2011a group came around as we were cleanning debree and salvaging what we could. They were offering one of their so called bible studies. He admitted to them that he was baptized and inactive. Somehow they found our house and my hubby would stand in the kitchen and have me lie saying he wasn't home. He didn't want to get involved again. They were rentless. Then he came home one day and said he was going to take his sister to the meetings on Sunday only. That was 18 months ago. Now he's involved 3 days a week and trying to get privagless to go out in service another 2-3 days a week.

    Generally, it is difficult to sue for emotional distress. As a lawyer, I suggest you see a lawyer for a consultation. General advice is too general. Facts matter deeply in law. If the facts change, the answer may change. Also, each state, territory and the federal government has its own set of laws. There is another field of law dedicated to resolving the conflicts of competing jurisdiction. They use the term "Conflicts."

    Especially in these economic times, lawyers are more willing than ever to find clients. I found that in my local area most lawyers will offer a free forty-five minute consultation. You may need to pay up front or sign a contingency fee agreement (the lawyer typically receives one third of the award). Most people can decide whether to go further during the forty-five minutes.

    If you decide to retain a lawyer, organize your papers yourself. You want to pay for legal time not organizational or secretarial time. The lawyer guides the interview. I try to keep the lid on too much chit chat.

    Any disputes can usually be resolved at the local bar organization level.

    Internet advice is not a good thing.

    Lost ... I wasn't married to him the first go around. I am his 3rd wife. Plus I would never give him that kind of ultimative. It would only build resentment later. He is the only one in the world I don't want to end up hating. For better or worse. Part of my marrage vows. They mean a lot to me.

    Oh thanks for explaining... Old age is me! so I guess I get mixed up.

    BUT> I dont think it would be any good to sue the WT .I went to Vicky Boers
    court case, & their lawyers LIE!!!! The Faithful & Discreet Slave( the wt) are told

    they do NOT have to tell the truth to those who dont deserve it.(Anyone that is NOT a JW dont deserve it)

    Glen Howe was one of their Lawyers,( since died) But he was a BRILLIANT lawyer who KNEW
    he didnt tell the truth...

    Just keep on loving the hubby show him TRUE love
