Two Fools and Their Money
May 2nd, 2005 at 10:42 am by Preston Taylor HolmesTwo drooling morons taste sweet defeat in their attempt to sue religious group for “swindling” them out of their life savings.
Kaziah Hancock and Cindy Stewart earlier won their lawsuit against Jim Harmston and The True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of The Last Days in a district court, but it was thrown out by a judge.
…
The women first sued in 2002, when a jury awarded them $300,000. However, a judge ruled that the damages were unfair, and Redd refiled the lawsuit. A judge then dismissed three of five claims, prompting the appeal and a separate district court lawsuit.
The church founded in 1994 by Harmston after his excommunication from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints preaches the practice of polygamy as one of its tenets. It made news in 2002 after posting a Web site declaration that the end of the world was at hand and only church members would survive.
These cretins don’t deserve a dime. And besides, aren’t they jumping the gun a little bit? Was there a due date for the end of the world that came and went? It could still be just around the corner. Hell, I’m still prepared from Y2K – just because the calamity hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean it’s not going to. Jeeez, how about a little patience, ladies?
