    Haven't read all the pages, but I'm shocked they went through with this.

    This has got to be the stupidest thing the WTS has done to date.

    I love the $100,000 value placed on Jehovah's reputation.

    Quotes, I've got a free weekend. I'll do some publicity stuff for you. The WTS doesn't like their shitty underwear waved around for everyone to see.

    The Watchtower also doesn't see this coming: apostate backup! They'll be suing Simon next for having a place for ex-JWs unite against the WTS.

    Don't they have to define what "one of Jehovah's Witnesses" is / are?

    I was in for 33 years 3rd generation gave them tens of thousands of dollars in cash donations alone and got the bleep beaten outta me all my school years taking my stand as a Jehovah's Witness.

    I have signed thousands of web pages-Danny Haszard 3rd generation Jehovah's Witness

    Yes i am an expert witness on the Jehovah's Witness

    Like the Mafia once in the gang always in the gang.

    This is a bit off topic, but isn't their use of the phrase "divine calling" similar to claiming they're "inspired"?

    Yep, looks like that to me too.

    I think they are referring to the artists who actually create the artwork, and that they have a "divine calling" to do this type of work, which isn't the same as being inspired, but is like God is pushing this person to take on this type of work.

    "If you do not agree to its terms, do not install or otherwise use the Product. Rather, return it to Watch Tower or transfer it to a user who agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement."

    If I return my Product to Watch Tower, will they return my anonymous $25 donation that I made to them when I acquired it?

    They tried to tell me I should donate $50.

    I didn't give anything though.

    It does not surprise me.

    They do not care whether they win or lose they have a bottomless pit for finacing lawsuits and their legal department needs to justify their existance. Even if it's a frivilous lawsuit they will tie you up for years and make it tedious, time consuming and hostile for you and your lawyer.

    I am assuming this is in the Ontario Court. If it is my suggestion to you is to file a motion to dismiss on the grounds it is frivolous and vexatious or alternatively order SECURITY for expected legal costs on the basis that it is frivolous and vexatious (and solely designed to antagonoze and bankrupt you).

    For your lawyer to build a security for costs case you will need to work hard and not go at it half assed.

    Okay, okay, if I was thinking like WT legal, probably tomorrow morning I'd put a motion to suppress Quotes' site until the lawsuit is settled. Then I'd drag....drag....drag.
