From Reveal: I’ll be adding more columns as information comes in, and links to videos once they are posted.

Reveal News Hosts a Conference About JWs and Child Sex Abuse; the World is Finally Noticing!
Any idea why, if Reveal was actually hosting this event, it does not seem to be listed on their website??

Is there another website?

Finkelstein - "...The reason why is because they see themselves the controlling authority over their organization first and foremost, which invokes a state of self protection of its own public image and that's the main reason why they haven't in the past..."
Not to mention that they're willing to bend over backwards to keep the rank-and-file from realizing just how prevalent, institutionalized, and endemic the problem has become, as it (among other things) severely undermines their claim of being "God's exclusive Earthly Organization".

It seems like the actual Reveal website doesn't have current information, it goes back to 2/17. Most of the information about the event is in the Alexandra James blog; if I find something else I will post it.

I thought it was a rolling list of upcoming and past events - with events moving from the 'upcoming' section into the 'past' section, as the event date came and passed - that's certainly how it seems to be laid out, but who knows how they think.

Reveal event aims to pry loose documents in Jehovah’s Witnesses cover-up
There’s no question whether Jehovah’s Witnesses policies direct elders to keep child abuse secret from police. They do.
And there’s no question whether the religion’s headquarters maintains a database of alleged child sexual abusers going back decades. Or that Jehovah’s Witnesses leaders have violated court orders to hand it over.
It’s been three years since we began investigating the global child sexual abuse cover-up inside the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization, and even though we’ve learned many key details, questions still remain.
How many child abusers are still active around the world because the Jehovah’s Witnesses did not report them? Which congregations do they attend? And why, even in the face of lawsuits and multimillion-dollar court judgments, do leaders refuse to change their policies in any significant way?
We’ve demonstrated our findings in text, television, radio and virtual reality stories. But we felt there was more to do because of the strong public interest that would be served by answering those questions.
We decided to go back to our sources, people around the world who had fueled our coverage, and try to gather them in one place for a day. As an independent, nonpartisan journalism organization, we would broker a day of speakers, panels and candid discussions about ways to address the Jehovah’s Witnesses child abuse crisis.
We chose London because the Jehovah’s Witnesses are fighting multiple lawsuits and investigations related to their child abuse policies there. The law firm Bolt Burdon Kemp – which has the largest abuse litigation department in England – currently has civil lawsuits against the Jehovah’s Witnesses and brought child abuse experts and survivors from around the U.K.
