  Cedars may be sleeping right now, so I'll go ahead and post part 2 of the new Candace Conti video series.

  To answer a few of your questions in advance:

  This meeting was attended by about three dozen invited guests, most members of the Ex-JWs of San Jose. Cynthia Hampton is a founder and one of the organzers of both the San Jose and Downey, California meetup groups. The location and time were not publicized to insure the safety of Miss Conti and her mother, Kathleen. We also wanted to protect the owners of the meeting hall from any protests or damage to their facilities.

  We had two cameras and a audio recorder going during the sessions. When I get the full set of videos up from the left-side camera, then I will do a mix with video and audio from the other camera. All videos will be published in a gallery on Ex-JW.com. I know that Randy Watters is publishing them on Freeminds.org and I'm sure Cedars will also on JWSurvey.org.

  I can assure you that the first two are just a warm up. Rick Simons, the plaintiffs attorney in this case, gives a great half-hour overview. He and Candace also answer questions at the end.

  Altogether there should be about a dozen 5-6 minute segments. All will be on both YouTube and Vimeo.

  Thanks CEDARS & JUAN VIEJO 2 for posting these youtubes. What a together young lady ! Very mature outlook. Her statement towards the end of the 2nd youtube, " Jehovah's Witnesses didn't protect me ". Exactly. One of the leading causes why this child abuse crap continues to be such a problem ! If elders were instructed to REALLY be the alleged " crags in a waterless country " for JW members that we were all told they were supposed to be - instead of being instructed to worry about HOW the WT society looks to outsiders and hiding the child abuse crimes- perhaps more children would be saved from suffering the pain of being victimized by child molesters running amok going unchecked inside JW congregations !

  I look forward to the other youtube segments. It's good to see Candace expressing what she experienced so as to inform and help others while possibly it helps her as well to heal and move on - hopefully

  Thanks to all in their efforts to publicize one of the most egregious abuses of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

  Special thanks above all to a most courageous young lady, Candace Conti, without whose bravery this exposure would not be happening.

  Just to clarify, I take absolutely no credit for these videos - I just wanted to alert you all to them.

  I know that Juan Viejo2 has gone to an ENORMOUS amount of time and effort to get these videos formatted and uploaded, and the end product is very clearly worth the effort.

  Cedars and Juan,

  Thanks for posting! Is it tagged with "jw.org" so the rest of the Borg has a chance to see?
