I went to the public talk and the speaker told us that child abuse is a problem in the catholic church but not so for Jehovah´s witnesses.
I wondered why he said that would that have been in the manuscript. I know I told him about how it really was when he visited me at home.
So was he lying because of the manuscript, did he not believe me, or did he forget I told him about the settlements?

Child abuse can be a problem for any group. The question is not if it happens (any large social organization like this can have the problem of local authority figures abusing their power), but what is done when it happens. I think the record shows JWs have a mixed record at best (with most of the credit going to Elders who do not tolerate the behavior, not Watchtower policy which can be vague and misleading).

It was this year´s special talk: something like "Is there for God only one true religion?"
I did not find a scan for the outline at the Internet for that talk, would be interesting to see if it was in there or that it was his own addition.

The gag orders that they have placed on child abuse court cases should tell you all you need to know. They are just trying to protect themselves and look righteous to the world.
If it weren't a problem, it wouldn't even be mentioned. If they had handled abuse cases the correct way, it would not have cost them so much money to settle them in court.
Can you imagine how someone who was abused and watched their abuser go free from punishment would feel hearing these statements?

Drew I do understand that child abuse can happen in any group and that the fact that it happens does not say anything about the group or its teachings, I was suprised he blamed the Catholic Church for not handling it well, and making the jw´s look good in this issue.

That's the real value of hush money. You can make claims like that and the majority will not know how full of shit you are.
