I think it would be interesting to send letters to the people who live in that congregation's territory. The letter could describe the situation and comment on the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses expect their sexual predators to go door to door. It could conclude with a phone number of the hall and a request that they ask to be placed on their do not call list as a way of protesting this policy.

I believe Oakley meets at the Brentwood Hall with the Discovery Bay JWs. Google Brentwood Kingdom Hall and Discovery Bay for address, phone # and photos. Brentwood must be used to Child Molesters; I just googled up a great new site on JW divorces and child molesting. - No site name. Remember the Jaycee Dugard case? The little girl who was kidnapped, raped and held a prisoner for YEARS??????????
So, when did Phillip Garrido first join the WatchTower Cult?IT IS BELIEVED THAT PHILLIP GARRIDO FIRST STARTED ATTENDING A KINGDOM HALL OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES SOMETIME IN THE EARLY 1970s -- possibly even as early as 1969-70, when Garrido was only 19-20 years old. Garrido either attended the Brentwood, California Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Oakley, California Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, or both, at various times.There is a vague lead which seems to suggest that Nancy Bocanegra was not the first female with JW connections in Phillip Garrido's life. Whether that possible female with JW connections was Garrido's first wife, one of many girlfriends, or even possibly his mother (which opens an enormous can of worms given that is with whom Phillip and Nancy lived all these years), I do not know. I do know that some older JWs in either the Brentwood and Oakley areas probably do know, but evidently are tight lipped.
I also know that Phillip Garrido was arrested and incarcerated multiple times from 1969 through 1974. If, in fact, Phillip Garrido "became a member" of the Brentwood or Oakley congregations during this time period, as one source alleges, then he would have been subject to one or more internal judicial actions by his congregation's Body of Elders. That would mean that Garrido's past history as a Jehovah's Witness would be known not only by one or both of those two California congregations, but probably also by WatchTower Society headquarters, in Brooklyn.
At any rate, it was Phillip Garrido's status as a long-time practicing Jehovah's Witness, plus his marriage to a life-long practicing Jehovah's Witness, that undoubtedly played a significant role in his gaining early parole in 1988 given that nearly every evaluation of any type over the years almost always made positive mention of Garrido's religious beliefs and practices.
Nancy Garrido worked within the healthcare community in multiple states at least as far back as 1981. Nancy Garrido was licensed as a Nursing Assistant in California in 1989 after the couple moved to California after Phillip Garrido's parole from Leavenworth, and 8 months served in a Nevada state prison, where Garrido served short time on a state charge related to the 1976 rape/kidnapping. Between 1994 and 1998, Nancy Garrido worked for a California community agency, Contra Costa ARC, that served adults and children suffering from developmental disabilities. Nancy Garrido reportedly also worked at multiple nursing homes.
Nancy Garrido is reportedly accused by Prosecutors of playing an equal role with Phillip Garrido in the abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard. Prosecutors suspect that it was actually Nancy Garrido who forcibly put Jaycee Lee Dugard into the car driven by Phillip Garrido in June 1991. In 1993, Phillip Garrido was returned to federal prison for 38 days because of a parole violation. Prosecutors allege that Nancy Garrido was Jaycee Lee Dugard's sole kidnapper during those 38 days.

But the arrogance of the WTS does not allow them to become knowledgeable about child sex abuse, so that they can understand why pedophiles can be repentant, but not able to change. And they have very poor internal impulse control. Therefore, the elders must provide the external safeguards by warning parents and children. Simple, really.
Thanks for sharing that BizzyyBee. I loved the way you've explained it. -

Of course he is in good standing, he didnt break any Bible Law, if he did show where it says pedophilia is banned. THe simple fact is the bible actually condones it in text where it discusses the rights of a master who has bought someones daughter, and states since she is his property she is also his for sex. Given women were typically married young, that means most daughters who were sold included a large percentage of what we would consider underage and thus the men were pedophiles. In short the BIble does in deed provide pedophilia as a privilege to slave masters.

Its hard to condemn paedophilia in the bible when God apparently uses it to create Jesus

Thank you Balaamsass for your post about the Garrido's. I also agree with DT that it should be made more public maybe starting where it all happened would be a good idea. How many people truly understand that when they open their door Saturday morning to that smiling Jehovah's Witnesses that person man or women as in the case of Nancy Garrido could be a child molester.
I truly feel the word needs to get out there.

We had a thread or two a while back about using Google maps to get addresses near Kingdom Halls and mailing them something. I will see if I can find it. There may have been some people already working on it.
Mailing to neighbors of that Kingdom Hall could be a good test case.

Kendrick's in good standing? Whew... after all this sex abuse scandal I was really worried whether if he was okay.
Seriously folks (and especially any lurkers reading this) consider this:
As it stands now, after all is said in done in the case of Candace vs. The Watchtower, according to WT beliefs, shortly Jehovah God will destroy the wicked girl Candace while simultaneously leading a smiling, faithful Kendrick by the hand into Paradise.
Marinate on that for a hot minute.

I found the thread. It wasn't quite the same idea, but it may be helpful.
