this is a very good document from a law school exploring religious freedom vs an individuals right to religious freedom without blackmail, pressure, etc, and also explores why certain lawsuits did not win and what it would take to win them.

a person born in, and whose parents or family pressured to shun because they simply left the religion, who has evidence of damages, etc, would likely have a good case if they find a good lawyer.
A case about loss of clients, in a lawsuit seeking money damages, makes more sense than this emotional stuff you guys are talking about. He can show proof that he made x and lost that specific opportunity. It's easy, and he still lost. Trying cases seeking money based on emotion because someone won't talk to you? Good luck.
I look forward to your cases. I'll cover it on my podcast and hope you succeed but the hope here seems purely emotional.
i haven't been posting here much lately, i think i only created one topic in 2018!
but this is worth it.. i am a grandfather 😊.
it happens all the time but damn, it feels good.
Congrats and enjoy!

I not only don't see this becoming a matter of successful lawsuits I'm not sure I want the government getting that involved in my life. The only way I can see winning money would be if there were monetary losses, and that's a tough one to prove. People can do business with whom they choose. I hate shunning, but I don't see how it becomes a matter of law. I read through much of that on break and still don't see much there.
Even if something came of it they'd just weasel their way around it like they always do.
when i first seen this website i actually thought it was a jw website hence the home page and not an ex jw website and i posted a topic thinking people were real witnesses then i quickly discovered it was not and all these people were commenting and embarrassing me and i couldn’t even delete the thread.
then i asked the admin to delete it and i said it was very misleading saying it’s a jw page and he’s like are you serious i deleted your topic and now you are attacking me and it clearly says ex jw page.
he was very rude and btw no where does it say ex jw and you should be able to delete your own threads you start.
I love how he talks about the owner of the website not being able to take criticism yet he whines about the way his own post and resultant conversation went.
Flawed doctrine. Flawed person. Flawed ability to see what this website clearly is. Flaws on flaws on flaws but it's everyone else's fault.
My favorite is when JWs come here and don't realize what the site is. First, you're not supposed to even be on pro JW sites. Second, it shows the level of research these morons do before believing something.
While over the top, I can understand the emotion generated by such a horrific story that might lead one to doing that. It's a message that is probably more to make the occupants of the vehicle feel better more than to generate productive discussion, but if it makes them feel better who am I to argue. I'm just sorry they lost someone to the cult.
hey i’m back i know it’s been a long time since i’ve posted on the form but a lot things have been happening so i haven’t had much time to post.. ive been 14 for awhile now makes me happy because i’m getting closer to being able to get a job and work my way out of this.. i have meetings on saturdays now which is horrible because i rather have it on sunday because it’s already a sad day because i got to go to school the next day.three of our public talks have had different brothers saying the same thing talking about the signs of the end days.the thing that gets me is when they always try and bank on the earthquake part i mean i’m really into science so i already knew a lot about plate tectonics sea floor spreading etc but you get taught this in school.with plates always moving divergent convergent transform etc there will be earthquakes it’s the effect of plates moving against or rubing on each or going back into the mantle(subduction zones) it happens.so when there’s a report in japan of a lot of earthquakes it must be the end times!no japan is located on four plates it’s going to experience big earthquakes.. i don’t know that just gets under my skins when they try and say it’s the end days because of the earth having natural things happen like plate tectonics is something that’s been happening recently no we might have gotten our hands on the technology to spot earthquakes recently but this has been happening for millions of years.. speaking of years i hope you all have a great 2019 and i’ll definitely post more of my thoughts this year..
A 14 year old kid seeing through this bullshit makes me so happy. Keep growing Akid, you can do this and you can get out of the situation and have a happy life. You have so much ahead of you. Happy 2019!

ours was great.
for the first time we had christmas with our youngest son and his family.
it was all their first christmas and what a fun and happy time we had.
Glad to hear it David! We had a great time too, but it sounds like you had a lot of new great times. Congrats to you and your family!
what were the writers of the bible telling christians when they wrote : “stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.” (1 corinthians 5:11) regarding everyone who “does not remain in the teaching of the christ,” we read: “do not receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him.
for the one who says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.” (2 john 9-11.
Jesus ate with the sinners and tax collectors. Jehovah was buddies with David. Paul was a dick. Of course, Jehovah killed people for steadying the ark of the covenant. Jesus condemned people for even looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her.
So what am I saying? The bible is a contradictory mess and you can pick and choose just about anything to bend to your will and the interpretation shows more about the interpreter than anything.
@ kevin mcfree.
thanks a lot for all your hard work with the lego dubtown videos.
i just saw your "making of" and now i have a lot more respect for all the work you do with your movies.. please continue with the videos - i am looking forward to further episodes.. the making of dubtown's 'the naked truth' .
I would never have the patience for that but I love his videos. Much respect to him for going through all of that to make them. Oh, and his family too for participating. The videos are funny and make fantastic points.
