  Hines v. Watchtower, et al, Plaintiff's Opposition to GB's Motion to Dismiss

  by DNCall in

  last friday, plaintiff hines' opposition to the above motion was filed.

  it appears to me that the zalkin firm eviscerates the gb's motion.

  in plaintiff's memorandum of law, it is clearly presented that the elements of hines' complaint are of the type protected by ny law against motions to dismiss.

  Speaking in general terms, based on my 20+ years in law enforcement, I am not surprised that these elders got probation. Just about every criminal defendant in the U.S. gets probation for a Misdemeanor crime, which I believe is what these elders were charged with. It is very rare to get a jail term. Jails are run by the county and funded by the county. The courts are constantly working with elected Sheriff's to keep jail populations down. Prisons are run by and funded by the state. First time convicted felons whose crime is a non-violent felony and whom have no prior criminal history are almost guaranteed to get probation as well in lieu of prison time.

  The big win or silver lining on this case is that the elders involved were arrested, charged, tried, and convicted in the one country in the world that boasts having the most religious freedom. This case should put all elders in the U.S. on notice - report child molesters to the police immediately or arrest prosecution yourself! If it happened once it will happen again. This is not a unicorn case.

  The U.S. federal government has blocked any new oil drilling rigs from being built for over 47 years.

  In January of 2020 President Biden blocked oil pipelines that would bring Canadian oil into the U.S. while oil companies continued to purchase Russian oil.

  January 2020 President Biden issues an order mandating that U.S. auto manufactures' produce 50% electric vehicles by 2035.

  In January 2020 President Biden issues an order shutting down all mining of rare earth elements in the U.S. which are required to manufacture the batteries for electric vehicles, thus forcing the U.S. auto industry to purchase batteries from China. In turn Chinese owned mines in Africa use child labor to mine rare earth elements and now China is working with the Taliban to mine rare earth elements in Afghanistan.

  Yes, oil companies make huge profits from processing crude oil into gasoline. Yes, oil companies have huge reserves of oil. In short, profit margins for shareholders rule the day in the U.S. Our corporate overlords always pass the increased cost of production to the consumers (us).

  However, I never saw a child roughneck out in the oil fields in the U.S. or Canada. If my choices are putting Russian gas in my car to the tune of $7.00 a gallon or use an electric car with a Chinese battery made with cobalt mined by African children I think I will just walk.

  i'm interested in your thoughts.. the media tells us a lot of agenda driven propaganda.

  you're hard pressed to spot truth these days.. however, i'm told that the rona is now just a rotten flu and not the plague we were originally terrified in to believing.

  last time i heard it was down in the hit parade to 16th nasty health thing.. all the people and family i know that have had the rona, have been complaining it's a very crappy flu.

  I heard new data involving COVID-19 deaths on the radio today. During the first year of the lockdown in the U.S. there was a drastic increase in alcohol related deaths. Depending on the age group (the youngest group was 16 - 20 years old) in increases were from 25% to 35%. The number of alcohol related deaths in the U.S. during the first year of the COVID-19 lockdown surpassed those who actually died from COVID-19.

  In short, American drank themselves to death faster than COVID-19 could kill them.

  2 years into all of this the U.S. Centers for Disease Controls tells us that the use of an N95 mask, which is designated a respirator, is required to assist in cutting down the spread of COVID-19. All these paper masks and custom cloth masks will not work. Then there is the fact that the COVID-19 virus can be absorbed through the membrane of the eyes. So, unless you have a face shield, the mask isn't going to stop you from contracting it.

  I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19. 9 months later I contracted COVID-19. My case was so severe it nearly killed me. Now I have been diagnosed with COVID Long Haulers.

  Here is what the doctor of my work supervisor told him when he contracted COVID-19 -

  • We are all going to get.
  • The only thing that will help us all is to get it and get over and over until we build up our immunity to it.

  Punk - you are correct in your assumption. We need to live with it. People are tired of just surviving because surviving is not living. Politicians are realizing this and they see they can no longer politize it for their benefit.

  Truth_b_known, those around him did see him in kingdom glory. It's called the transfiguration.

  Jesus promised Judgment Day with his second coming. That obviously didn't happen at the transfiguration. So, the transfiguration is not the second coming.

  Matthew 24:34 puts an expiration date of about 73 CE on Jesus prophecy. All of Matthew 24 was to be fulfilled before the generation that heard Jesus' words all died. It wasn't. Matthew 16:28 is evidence of this as Jesus said "some who are standing here will not taste death". Notice Jesus said only some would not taste death. So, Jesus was not speaking in terms of physical death versus an immortals soul. Some (at least 2 people) would still be alive to see Jesus return in his heavenly glory and pass judgment on the Earth. This is the reason why Paul wrote "Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do." Why get married if your marriage was going to be nullified with Jesus' second coming?

  To say otherwise is to say "Jesus second coming is true, and since it hasn't happened yet, what he said must have some meaning other than the literally meaning."

  Why are group overseers only supposed to share it "orally" prior to anyone going to the Kingdom Hall?
  The inconsistency is remarkable. Unless, of course, the entire point of the "Health Notice" has nothing to do with "health" and everything to do with "hey, Mr. Unbelieving Mate, don't even think about a wrongful death lawsuit because your JW wife went the KH and got COVID and died".

  FFGhost gets it.

  They also carefully consider relevant Bible principles and consult guidelines provided by Jehovah’s organization.

  Notice how it is always "Jehovah's organization" and not just "Jehovah". That means something rather significant. If it were from Jehovah the would write "...guidelines provided by Jehovah," but they are not from Jehovah. They are from men.
