    Welcome to the forum, No God.

    That's an interesting estimation - I wonder how they came up with that amount? If it's true, $13 million is a good start. There are so many more than just 16 victims of the Watcthtower's scandalous policy to hide their pedophiles.

    If this starts to cost the WT Society more millions, I wonder how long it will take them to implement organizational changes to stop hiding these criminals?
