Let's not forget what Stephen Lett GB member claims.."think about the apostate-driven lies and dishonesties that Jehovah’s organization is permissive toward pedophiles. I mean, that is ridiculous, isn’t it! If anybody takes action against someone who would threaten our young ones, and takes action to protect our young ones, it is Jehovah’s organization. We reject outright such lies.”
Such BS!
TRUTHSEEKERIAM hit the nail on the head. The Conti decision had NOTHING to do whatsoever with the 13.5 million judgment in the Lopez trial. The courts whacked the WT Society over the head with that penalty for refusing to hand over court requested documents about their child abuse policies AND their list of child molesters within their organization. AND the fact that Gerrit Losch refused to testify for the WT Society when the courts requested him to do so. So WT Society actually was in contempt of court for refusing to cooperate. So they got fined.
And as Truthseekeriam stated GB member Stephen Lett actually lied on JW.org T.V. when denying that the WT Society IS negligent and permissive towards pedophiles. He was just using JW.org as a convenient marketing tool to exploit and dilute the real truth of what's going on in order to calm down or put aside any " fears " or " concerns " JW's may have due to what's being broadcast on network news or the Internet concerning the reality of WT child abuse negligence. It's called " saving face ". Peace out, Mr. Flipper
Fisherman - "...It is a BIG loss of freedom because it means that now the Court is regulating WT church policy...
A "loss of freedom" for authoritarian churches to act with internal impunity is a good thing. Increased regulation of said churches is a good thing, particularly if it protects kids.
Frankly, I can live with a "loss of freedom" like that.

Fisherman - "Says you. Even the US Constitution has been amended in that past."
I was sarcastically imitating you, doofus.
You, by all indications, don't seem to want that aspect of your precious constitution changed. You, by all indications, seem hell-bend on defending it, no matter what.
I can't help but wonder why.

Fisherman - "What makes you think that?"
See above.

Fisherman - "...let me tell you something, it was not so important to Plaintiff to sue for an injunction against WT confidentiality policy in the lawsuit. All they wanted was money for damages..."
Seriously?
Tem Conti wanted $1440. That hardly qualifies for "damages".
Their entire agenda - by statement and actions - was getting the WTS to change their policy.
Fisherman, you talk one of those lawyers who make their living preventing ordinary decent people from getting justice when they're buggered over by powerful corporations.
How the f**k do you sleep at night?
TELMETRY- " Conti's court decision secures Watchtower's Policy of Confidentiality " .
No it doesn't. Not in the least. Kendrick's child abuse of various victims was NEVER held in " confidentiality " by the WT Society with just the elders within his congregation as communications with WT legal and the headquarters are documented within court documents - many of those communications of which I even have on PDF files on my computer. All along the way during these communications the WT Society and the elders dropped the ball and failed to protect not only Candace Conti, but further victims which Kendrick DID go on to molest.
Look- this Conti thing is NOT over by any stretch of the imagination. WT Society has already lost in having to pay out money to her AND the bad publicity that aired on PBS Newshour and ABC News Nightline each in 10 minute snippets describing in detail what went on regarding WT Society negligence towards Conti. And Kendrick and his wife assisted with the negative judgments towards the WT Society because they looked like " dildo brains " in their trying to excuse his criminal behavior on nationwide network T.V. The court of public opinion and HOW that public opinion spreads across the Internet is MUCH stronger than any seemingly evasive measures the WT Society tries to pull off - whether behind closed courtroom doors, or who is paying who off - judges, defendants, plaintiffs - whoever- it doesn't matter- the court of public opinion WILL prevail and it will find the WT Society criminally negligent not only for protecting child molesters, but the deaths of innocent children who are refused blood transfusions. So pick whatever poison you want- WT Society is, has been, and appears like they always WILL be criminally negligent. They just don't care about ANY victims of their crimes.
If WT wants to take it to the Supreme Court- fine- but the cows have left the barn and the gates have burst loose and more of these child abuse cases WILL make the media and expose the criminality of the WT Society, and that damage will do more in and of itself than the millions WT has to pay out
Vidiot.
You live up to your name. Proof is in what you say in your post. Nothing I say can change that, you. V idiot.
Fisherman lives up to HIS name: an overly pedantic, word-twisting troll, who is no doubt a JW, or at least their biggest apologist.
And I thought JWs were to 'imitate Jesus.' Hmmm, I missed the part in the Bible where Jesus referred to others as "idiots." Was it after meeting the Samaratin? The leper? What a way to represent your faith.
No, no, Boeing, it's okay; I picked the username, after all.
It should have occurred to me that being a hopelessly incurable movie geek would completely disqualify me from rational discussion on any other subject.
What was I thinking?

Fisherman is perfectly free to riff on my username all he likes in order to avoid actually addressing my responses to his post.
The Constitution says so.
I am an atheist but l am reminded of Matt 5:22
But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.
I called him a doofus (when he said something doofy).
Does that qualify?
