Court Hearing 7/07/23, Read legal documents associated with this hearing. Options

[Observer]

In the first document posted by PB, a few words at the end of the document were lost in the transmission.

I have copied below that entire section so you can read it in context.

PB may (?) make the correction in the beginning post. I can't do it there--GM

(1) Concise Factual Summary of Plaintiff’s Claims;

By their Complaint, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants Gailon Joy and Robert Pickle, acting individually and in consort, have engaged in an affirmative campaign of defamation, slander and libel directed against Three Angels Broadcasting Network, Inc. (“3ABN”) and its Founder and President, Mr. Danny Shelton. Joy and Pickle have published false statements of fact and have made grievous misrepresentations—directly and by omission and innuendo—regarding 3ABN’s operation, administration, and financial management and regarding Shelton’s personal and professional conduct. Joy and Pickle purposefully and deliberately made these false statements and misrepresentations in order to destroy Plaintiffs’ reputations and goodwill, undermine public confidence in the ministry and its president, and financially cripple Plaintiffs so Plaintiffs would acquiesce to Defendants’ designs for the company and its administration. Joy and Pickle made their defamatory statements knowing yet willfully disregarding the falsity of the statements, or made the statements in brazen, wanton and reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of their statements.

Joy and Pickle have disseminated their statements to third persons and to the public at large orally, in print, and on the internet. Moreover, with regard to their internet offensive, Defendants have usurped and infringed upon Plaintiff Three Angel’s federally registered trademark “3ABN,” using it to identif~’ and advertise their own world wide web site, “Save3ABN.com,” in violation of the Lanham Act.

Joy and Pickle’s efforts have been the direct cause of reputation, financial, and other harm and damages to 3ABN and its President. Defendants’ have brought about a diminishment of Plaintiffs’ reputations and goodwill, a lowering of Plaintiffs in the eyes of the public and 3ABN viewers, donors and supporters, a reduction in financial contributions to the ministry, and a confusion or likely confusion of the public and internet community as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation and origination of the “Save3ABN.com” website.

Despite the filing of the instant action, Pickle and Joy’s campaign of orchestrated disparagement continues. Plaintiffs anticipate the instant case will require considerable discovery, as Pickle and Joy’s defamation and trademark infringement are ongoing, and that there will be numerous, contentious discovery disputes. Defendants have already stated their intention to refuse Plaintiffs original-source access to electronically stored information, they have already challenged Plaintiffs’ right to discoverable information based on an alleged “reporter’s privilege,” and they have already raised an allegation that Plaintiffs have engaged in the destruction of evidence, yet refused to provide Plaintiffs with supporting information that Plaintiffs would need to investigate the charge.

Additionally, Plaintiffs’ concerns about Defendants using the pleadings in this matter, both as a forum to disparage Plaintiffs and as a source of material Defendants will mischaracterize, editorialize, sensationalize and publish to misinform the public, have come to fruition since the lifting of the impoundment order. Thus, Plaintiffs’ also anticipate the case will require substantial attention to the protection of various discovery materials and case submissions.

Just a technical note for those who are interested in computer geek stuff:

My problem may have been with the fact that I was using Internet Explorer 7.

My wife purchased someting Sunday on E-bay, and was unable to pay for it. I telephoned Pay-pal. They told me the problem was with IE-7. I had to download Firefox on a one-time useage basis. After doing that, I was able to pay for the item she had purchased.

O.K. Back to the topic--3-ABN and the hearing Monday.

A good reminder to use Pay-pal in support of BSDA - and not the least the support fund for Pickle and Joy.

By the way, I need to get something straightened out with my PP account. I don't have their phone number. Would you give it to me by PM? Thanks.

"We will be happy to answer any questions AS APPROPRIATE." Of course--those who posted the truth in defense of 3ABN over on BSDA disappeared from that forum one by one as they were banned for telling the truth. And the truth they posted was taken off that board. "Openness and transparency should be the goal of all church processes..." ??? Ummm...does HYPOCRITES fit the description of Joy and Pickle here?

"reading pleasure" ??? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD GET READING PLEASURE FROM WATCHING AND SEEING HOW JOY AND PICKLE ARE TEARING DOWN GOD'S WORK AND WORKERS THAT HE SET UP? And seeing a loss of souls from this devilish work?

PLEASURE? Joy and Pickle and Linda will not win this case. They will lose because they are doing the work of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Better read the story again Daryl.

Daryl,

Well, aside from the slightly revisionist slant to the historical references in her OP( ), I'm proud to see that you are also allowing those with another point of view to express their opinions on your site! Kudos for your Calvinesque courage.

Since opening things up, I always allowed posts to be made there on both sides of the issue.

Last I heard Joy and Pickle pulled up the Tree of Life by by its roots and neither God nor a host of angels could do anything to stop it.

And now this.

Wow, I must be out of the REAL loop on things...I hadn't heard this nugget of "truth" yet.
BROTHER! Well, you know how it really is...the devil does all the bad things, and God does all the good things...us humans, why, we make no decisions on of our OWN FREE WILL...ya, right.

as we do here..... the exception being when those from the "other side" become disrespectful and abusive they are usually escorted out the door. Perhaps for whatever reason they find your site to be user friendly or that they can vent without being challenged. Whatever the case, its good they have found a place to share their view of things...

That's the word going around town, eh? Does anyone in leadership have a clue where Joy and Pickle may have stashed said Tree or is that part of the upcoming discovery process? Should we tune in to see if clues to it's whereabouts are hinted at this Thursday evening?

Or, perhaps we all scared them sufficiently enough that they have sort of learned their lessons and are "behaving".

Perhaps it is about time we meet debbie again over at MSDAOL? We can all join there too!

Then, there isn't really difference between here and there, as long as they are not disrespectful from either side of the issue, therefore, as an Administrator of BSDA, perhaps you should respond there as you did here.

You know what's sad? I knew who wrote that before I even clicked the link to look at it. The apologists are SO predictable.

Desperation is setting in big time.
