    <<<<" (d) The officer may prescribe terms and conditions to implement this section.">>>>

    Who is that 'officer' in question? The Watchtower's or the Court's?

    Scott,

    The "officer" is the judge.

    I think I read that the cost of the bond is $86,000 (one time or annual -- can anyone answer that?)

    Service-3 states that the cost of the bond is "nearly $100,000 a month"

    So they need a true miracle. The legal merits seem to have no bearing on their strategy. They don't see the forest for the trees. I could see convincing an unsophisticated client but I expect the WT is very used to managing lawyers. They don't seem to care about public opinion.

    If Conti loses the appeal, she has already won the war.

    I can imagine what they would say about Roman Catholic lawyers who were ruthless protecting the church. The New York Times had a long article once about how the Catholic lawyers went beyond zealous representation to cruelty.

    I was born-in so the religion shaped me greatly. No matter how many posts I read, I am always amazed at what a cult (minus negative connotation). As a child, I accepted it as truth. As a grown adult with worldly experience, I am shocked that they have any adherents. Their overreach is so obvious. Of course, it is only so obvious to me because of decades of living a normal life.

    Paralipomenon:

    The bond is not $100k/month. I didn't bother to look at the documents again but my recollection is that the $86K is an annual bond premium.

    I think you may have been confused because the $100k/month was mentioned by Conti's counsel as post judgment interest which is accruing on her judgment (post judgment interest accrues at the rate of 10%/annum). Conti contended that the amount that she will eventually be entitled to collect is growing, because of the accrual of interest on the judgment.

    So they need a true miracle.

    If they get one, will it make it into the "new scrolls" they are expecting based on their interpretation of Revelation?

    The motion was argued today. The court did not issue a ruling; the court instead "took it under submission," which means that the court will issue its ruling and send it to the parties, probably in the next few days.
