James Patrick Holding refused my offer to settle the lawsuit for FREE

I am currently suing James Patrick Holding's "Apologetics Afield" corporation ("AAI")

Doscher v. Apologetics Afield, Case 6:19-cv-00076-WWB-EJK

Shortly after this case was filed, somebody posted here with extreme agitation at me, and this makes me positive it was James Patrick Holding:
AnonymousFebruary 1, 2019 at 7:16 AMLmao! Aside from all your previous lawsuits that failed, maybe this time you'll get lucky! Oh Doscher, that big brain of yours just isn't clicking big man. Don't you get it? There's a reason why you never win in court, there's a reason why your own father stabbed you in the back a few years ago and there's a reason why you're alone. Don't worry, Holding is going to show everything next time in court including all your previous lawsuits. Maybe this time you'll get your mind out of the gutter you socially inept freak. Pull it out, it's error free, so I have nothing to give. This is up to you,

See my point by point answer to that noise here.

In a document filed with the Court on June 27, 2019, AAI's attorney Scott Livingston said AAI's income was even less than mine:
As Plaintiff is well aware, AAI is a dissolved corporation which has wound up all business. As such, AAI has zero income coming into its business. While Plaintiff's income may be meager, it still exceeds that of AAI.  (Doc. 29, p. 9)
So since AAI has zero income, we can be pretty sure that because an attorney was hired anyway and currently represents AAI throughout this case, somebody is paying that legal retainer and bill.  And the best choice would be Mr. Holding himself, since nobody on earth appears interested in wasting their hard earned money helping this cocksucker out of the hole he plunged himself into.

Did you remember that Mr. Holding, prior to this, paid more than $20,000 to get rid of my first libel lawsuit against him?   We can only wonder what a corporate lawyer, with Livingston's 20 years of experience, would have charged, but it is reasonable to assume a standard fee of $250 per hour.

Holding around 2015 also claimed to have purchased libel insurance, so there is a possibility that some insurance company is reluctantly paying the legal bill for this stupid pretentious incorrigible asshole.

One can only wonder what MRS. Holding has to say about her husband's unstoppable mouth consistently deleting the marital savings she hoped would sustain her in retirement.  Holding blew $20,000 in 2016, he's likely blowing the same or more presently (or making an insurance company very pissed off at him).

On November 12 I sent an email to attorney Livingston, offering to "globally" settle my lawsuit against AAI for FREE (i.e., zero cash).  I only required reasonable conditions such as that he permanently remove his libelous internet postings, admit his guilt, and leave up on one of his websites a factually true statement for not less than 10 years:
From: Barry Jones
Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 9:39 PM
To: Scott Livingston
Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 9:39 PM
Subject: Doscher, request for review
========================================
...I will settle globally against AAI for zero cash, the only conditions being that Mr. Holding 
  • permanently remove from the internet ALL statements he ever posted about me directly or indirectly, including all court documents he has posted, and that 
  • permanently remove all content, whatsoever, at the [name redacted] website, and post nothing else there except the following statement, which shall remain posted without modification for a period not less than 10 years:  "I, James Patrick Holding, formerly known as Robert Turkel, am guilty of the civil tort of libel per se.  I became guilty of this in June 2015 and I never stopped being guilty of it.  Had I not accepted Mr. Doscher's recent settlement offer, I agree the jury in his lawsuit against my corporation Apologetics Afield would very likely have awarded him at least $200,000 in total damages.  Since 1998, I have consistently conducted my apologetics ministry in a way that constitutes willful and intentional violation of Ephesians 5:4, Colossians 3:8 and 2nd Timothy 2:14, 24-26." 
  • agree to never again comment to any third-party of any nature, by any means whatsoever, written, oral or otherwise, anything about my past, present or future civil lawsuits, except where the law requires otherwise. 
  • will provide me with a full unredacted copy of any and all internet-based communications he ever exchanged with you and anybody else since November 11, 2017 where those communications mention me directly or indirectly, or where those communications arose because of something Holding felt somehow related to me directly or indirectly. This includes but is not limited to emails and private internet messages. 
  • Mr. Holding shall have until not later than 5:00 p.m. EST, Friday, November 15, 2019 to comply with these conditions.
The offer disappears tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST.  When he rejects it, as is obvious, I'll have to conclude you were lying when saying AAI has no money, since common sense requires that we not expect a below-poverty defendant, faced with paying thousands of dollars in legal fees, to prefer to keep doing the impossible when faced with an offer to settle the case for free.

It is now 3:52 p.m. PST, November 14, 2019, and so far, the only reply I received toward this offer, was:

Scott Livingston <SLivingston@cplspa.com> Wed, Nov 13, 4:58 AM (1 day ago) to me 
...I will advise you of my client's response to your settlement offer. Have a blessed day.
So if any reader was one of the fools who donated money to Holding to help him pay for this lawyer in this current lawsuit, you might shoot him an email at jphold@att.net (or respond to one of his juvenile delinquent videos that are his excuse for "scholarship" here) and ask how there could be any consistency between his obvious anger at being economically drained by this lawsuit, and his recent rejection of my offer to settle the case for zero cash, upon reasonable terms.

Jason Engwer doesn't appreciate the strong justification for skepticism found in John 7:5

Bart Ehrman, like thousands of other skeptics, uses Mark 3:21 and John 7:5 to argue that Jesus' virgin birth (VB) is fiction.  Jason Eng...
