    How very sweet a start this is. The day will come when they can no longer allow the abuse of innocent children.

    I hope this gets out to the Witnesses. I am sure they are already working on damage control. What do you think they will say and do?

    For any late-comers overnight or early tomorrow to this thread, who may live anywhere near San Diego, CA or Nashville, TN:

    Nashville, TN - 10 AM Press Conference

    San Diego, CA - 1 PM Press Conference

    Yes, there are TWO (2) Silentlambs Press Conferences tomorrow/Thursday 5/10/07, re: these 16 plaintiffs being "coerced" (Bill's word) to settle and then "gagged" from speaking re: the settlement specifics after the fact.

    Danny put one link above to the info, and here's another:

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/134113/1.ashx

    All the details of both Press Conferences, their exact locations, their purpose, Bill's statements, etc. can be found at that link.

    Wish I could be there, with as big a crowd as the Brooklyn March in 9/02. This is just as worthy of an occasion, imho.

    Hi

    Wish I could be there too. But a long way from Denmark. But I promise you, I am following it, an have already posted it at several web-pages. JW will hopefully regret so much, that they have been doing this. I will work on that I know for sure.

    I wanted to post this link . It has some helpful info and this topic explains HER GAG ORDER

    http://www.therapyabuse.org/TP_gagorders.htm

    This explains what a GAG ORDER can look like, (and GAG ORDERS are very specific) .

    this comes from a therapy abuse site, and as you can see, the victim still has some latitude.

    the entire site is excellent, not just for therapy abuse. When a person has lived with abuse all their life, as most JWS have, it is very difficult to recognize abuse. And while a therapist is not a clergy, they are bound by some very similar rules.

    Good job Danny. I put in my 2-cents at Topix and Yahoo (= which won't let you "answer" more than once, or I would have included more info. Aggravating). Great that the Tennessean is in "holding pattern" until further info comes in today after the press conferences. Very good!

    "I accept some commendation but 98% of credit goes to others, all I do is keep a vigil on keywords 24/7"...


    Au contraire, my good man, I think you work your buns off! But humility is always a lovely virtue!


    ------------


    ..." (lots of catnaps/powernaps)"...


    Well, then, you're in the company of geniuses, because Thomas Edison lived solely on catnaps too, so much so that he lived and slept in his little workshop most of the time (power-naps as you say) rather than his house nearby, so he could just get back up and keep working round the clock...

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Thomas Edison Museum and his "Southern home" over in Ft. Myers a number of years ago, and on the tour around his property, house, gardens, workshop, that's what they said. I always got a huge kick out of the fact he lived off of catnaps.

    (BTW, fascinating if you ever get to visit the museum, just amazing the zillions of things he invented, not just the lightbulb. Toasters, phonographs, I can't even remember it all, the walls were covered with items. The museum is across the street from his house, on the canal, where he built it there on purpose, and they made the house in a square shape with two huge french doors on all four sides of the house so there would ALWAYS be a breeze going through the main house. I LOVED that, too! Also he imported just an amazing variety of plants and bushes from all over the world, and they cover the grounds. Across the street at the museum is a HUGE banyan tree that Henry Ford brought to Edison which he planted there. But his greatest achievement, besides the light bulb, imho, were the hundreds and hundreds of Royal Palm Trees that he imported from Cuba to line each side of the street leading to his house, for miles and miles. It's an awesome drive! A narrow winding road with these gorgeous towering royal palms on each side.)

    Oh well, back to your catnap, lol.

    I posed the question in Yahoo answers, in response to a poster who suggested it, but couldn't do it themselves. The question, and a few answers, are at the link Danny posted

    Is the report that the Jehovahs Witnesses settled 14 child abuse cases out of court recently true?

    There is a report on some of the Jehovahs Witness Discussion Forums that the Watchtower Society settled 14 law suits taken out against them by victime of child abuse from within their congregations out of court. All these cases were in the USA, and it is also reported that the Watchtower was able to impose a gagging order on the claimants to prevent them going public with the settlements. However, the news has, apparently, been leaked, not by the claimants or their legal representatives, but by people within the organisation who wish that the truth should be told. Apparrently, the Napa Valley Courthouse in California has confirmed that these cases have indeed been settled out of court, but no details of the size of the payouts has been revealed as yet. If these reports are accurate, it would appear that the Watchtower Society has once again been able to cover up child abuse cases within their organisation, though settling out of court is an admission of guilt in itself.

    Of course, I know it is true about the settlements, but I also know that plenty of jw apologists go on there, judging by the reaction to jw-related questions previously posted. There is one very typical jw reaction on there now, check it out dedpoet
