The threats have come from the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania beginning in January against personal website

So then, why would WTBTS leadership want to shut down a web site that did nothing more than quote from their own religious literature? Because the very nature of these quotations is embarrassing to them,

The personal site is owned by a former Jehovah Witness.

After years sincerely believing the claim of the Witnesses’ leadership to be ‘God’s sole channel of communication to mankind,’ [Quotes] was heartbroken to find that he had not been taught the truth about the religion’s history and the development of their current beliefs.

In a spirit of scholarship, research, and fairness he created the web site to accurately document the Witnesses’ own self-incriminating words.

It is unclear where the legal challenge will go.
