  QUOTES and "Breach of contract"

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in the writ just served on quotes, one item seems to stand out.. if they claim that as a baptized dub, when he left he was in breach by quoting their literature, does this tell us that the new baptism vows mean that the candidate has entered into a contract in association with the organization?

  after all contractual partners in business are referred to as "associates".

  if this is the case the legal ramifications are interesting.. .

  Meaning that they may have made subtle changes from the originals that they don't want anyone to notice....

  Not necessarily subtle in meaning though. Lying bastards.

  Yeah, if I only knew in 1987 what I know now. Not my hip, but my knee.

  Does this also mean that anyone baptized under the new contractual implications of JW baptism vows - as a minor - can also legally insist that a DF be cancelled, as the baptism is an illegal contract, (therefore invalid), and only those with valid baptismal contracts can be DF.

  I think such "baptismal contracts" should be subject to renegotiation every time there's new light™. My dedication and baptism took place before a lot of changes, and most certainly is not subject to change on the whim of some f*cked up old bastards in Brooklyn.

  A bit off topic - can they even prove someone was baptized? I don't remember signing anything with them, and I know I didn't get a "baptismal certificate" like other churches will give. What kind of cheapass shit religion are the JWs anyway?

  What's next?? Are they going to start suing people who go door to door but don't put in a field service report? "We're suing you because you've screwed up our statistics!"

  I'm surprised they haven't tried it yet. I hope you're not giving them ideas, Scully.

  How is this agreement different from standard-issue programs?

  It can only be used by Jehovah’s Witnesses

  You may transfer all the SOFTWARE and all Printed Materials to another party who is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses but only if that party accepts all of the terms of this Agreement, and such party's possession or use of the SOFTWARE shall be deemed to be such acceptance.

  Although I don't see how they could enforce that. They have no ownership of the words "Jehovah’s Witnesses" nor do they have the right to forbid anyone from calling themself a witness of Jehovah.

  How can it be know whether the quotes came from the EULA protected CD or from some moldy old WT bound volumes?

  Scanners and OCR was widely available long before the Jehovahs Shitnesses came out with a CD, and there's good old fashioned typing as well. There's no way to prove it came from the CD.

  That would explain the doctrinal adjustmenst(s) made to the electronic version of their publications.

  I wonder if there's a similar disclaimer in the bound volumes.

  " by purchasing this cd you cannot reproduce blah blah blah"

  That's the problem. Most people don't actually read these "agreements". They simply click "ok" and carry on with the installation.

  It may be helpful if someone could post the entire text of the license agreement.

  I think the "breach of contract" they are referring to is the End User License Agreement on the Watchtower CD-ROM.
