He should drop the lawsuit though. Just get paid for the contract and be on his way.
I guess it doesn’t matter to me whether he chooses to pursue this. I’ve had enough of this nonsense. Time for people to start paying attention. It goes on in little ways, this tolerance of false teaching in the church and complete intolerance for those who would question it. Technically it should be provable that those who oust members are in violation of their ‘membership contract.’ (to use the business jargon they’re all so fond of lately) and could very well lose a case if these sheep weren’t so easily convinced to leave peacefully.
