It was to be expected.

To know more about that case, read the petition, subsequent papers and lower courts' decisions (added as appendices to petition) here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/19-40.html

UPD. Brief summary of the case: Plaintiff, a minor, sued Watchtower in California over abuse commited by an elder (a former elder, as Watchtower claims) during a slumber party. The trial court ordered Watchtower to produce "all documents received by [Watchtower] in response to the Body of Elders letter dated March 14, 1997.” Watchtower refused claiming, among other things, that "running computer searches for relevant documents caused the computer system to crash." The trial court then declared that Watchtower automatically lost the case, and awarded the plaintiff $4,016,152.39. The appellate court affirmed that judgment. Watchtower asked the federal Supreme Court to hear and review the case; the Court refused.

The Court's decision to deny the petition doesn't create any precedent and it won't directly affect other cases. But Watchtower has lost its first, to the best of my knowledge, attempt to bring a child sexual abuse case to the SCOTUS.

We were always taught that the 'candor' of the bible writers in admitting their faults and losses was evidence of god's inspiration and direction...where's that candor today with the gb? crickets...

[Jack Ryan]

"Given Watchtower’s disrespect for the legal sys- tem, penchant for violating court orders and habitual disregard for the rules of the court from which it is beg- ging for mercy, it is not the litigant to champion any allegedly important issue before this Court. This is not a case that warrants this Court’s time."
