I am not sure if anyone heard but it does appear that the McFarland v Watchtower lawsuit has been settled. The court only shows that it was settled so there was no longer a need for a status conference. That is all that I know on this.

So, please, tell us what you think bout that JD, I'm just dying to know.
You show me yours and I'll show you mine or is this a trap to get everyone telling you what they honestly think over and over and over for several pages, in good faith, so you can tell them they're wrong, or just ignore them.

As there is nothing to say, I got nothing to say. Just stating a fact.

Woman accuses member of West Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Lorain of sexual abusenewsnet5, Wednesday, July 31, 2013
A former member of the West Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Lorain filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the congregation, alleging she was sexually abused by one of the church leaders.
"I want to expose how they treat children and how they do not protect them," Elizabeth McFarland, 26, said at a news conference in Cleveland.
McFarland claims Scott Silvasy, who served as a "Ministerial Servant," gained her trust then sexually abused her for five years, beginning when she was 9 years old. She said Silvasy committed suicide on her 16th birthday.

This looks like another one the JW org has been able to sweep under the carpet.
