In July 2015, 20 members of the TheologyWeb forum were named as targets of a “libel” lawsuit by a former atheist member. Two of us are pictured who are public figures among the 20, including myself.
So far only one (me, James Patrick Holding) has been served with complaint and summons, and litigation is in process. Of the remaining 19 people, many are vulnerable because of their limited incomes, or because of serious health issues for themselves or their family.
An attorney has been hired, and for the past several months has been working on the case. A win for me in court will help shield the other 19 targeted defendants. We humbly ask for the assistance of others in defending ourselves from this lawsuit.
Any funds gathered will be used as follows:
1) To defray my attorney expenses. Currently we are working on a motion to dismiss the case based on lack of personal jurisdiction (I do not live in the same state as the Plaintiff).
2) To prepare a similar defense for any of the others in the group, should they be served with a suit.
3) To prepare an alternate defense, should either 1) fail, or should one of us be sued in our own home state.
