Lol the plaintiff has to agree to the settlement. So are they also admitting they know they are going to lose? Why accept a settlement and sign a gag order if you know you have a rock solid case and can “expose” WT?
Logic, my friend, is your friend.

Why do you think all these plaintiffs disappear when their cases are settled?
Thats exactly what WT wants, to be honest. The settlement money is simply taken off of the books.

Legally binding agreements... 'lol'...'logic'...'fool'.

Did read where I said they signed a gag order?
Of course they are legally barred. That’s why the settlement is offered in the first place. It would be foolish to offer money and not attach that to it.

"It is a FACT that 100% settlements are reached because the defendants think they are going to loose" - _M.
And they have something to hide.
Do we think the abused party goes to the watchtower and asks for money or do we think the watchtower offers the money for them to go away...?
The watchtower acts like it is guilty and has something to hide, the facts show that the policies of the watchtower have caused numerous 'incidents' to occur, we continue to see the watchtower lie about its policies and behaviours...
And then we have Bobby, who isn't happy unless he is defending this indefensible corporation.

The same statements can be made about any plaintiff that takes money and agrees to be “hushed”. What are they trying to hide? Lies?
They know signing a gag order also legally bars WT from discussing the case as well, and talking about how the plaintiff took money to keep their own skeletons hidden.
The sword cuts both ways.

Even more so than hiding any potential criminality, I'd argue that WT, as per Bobby's own words above, is very interested in maintaining the negative spotlight hidden from it's members and potential members. A growing number of victims speaking up publicly, as well as a growing number of ongoing court cases against WT, would only make it increasingly difficult to believe that this is God's sole chosen organization.
It is no surprise that WT is eager to settle as quick as possible.

No it dosent. You see, dear bubby, here is where the logic cuts. You, that is...
the plantiff who settles gets what they wanted, money/restitution of some sort. That was the intent of the law suit. They won.
The entity who settles gets nothing. They give. Money, usually. And a lot of it. The one thing that corporations being sued have that the plaintiffs usually dont is unlimited time and vasts amounts of money to abuse the legal system. That unlimited time to litigate and huge pile of cash to play with become the bargaining chip to settle. Id expect a smart guy like you to know that... but then your really not THAT smart. Or honest with yourself.
In the end bubby, its ok. What you and i yap about on this forum is irrelevant to the law. The wt will settle as they always do because they dont want the bad press and they damn sure dont want to turn over the documents. The plaintiffs will be paid with your contributions and the law will have had its day. Theres no problem at all really.

Morph: Crow, if there is not search warrant than you cant break into someones home and search no matter what you think you “know”.
There is a process.I realize that. I am not unaware of the process
And the process is playing out.
My point was that if an accused holds evidence, then they cannot be proved guilty until that evidence is revealed
How that plays out is dependent upon jurisdictional laws
Getting a search warrant isn't fool proof. There was a JW abuse case in Canada (2005) where the "evidence" was collected from congregation files by a search warrant and that evidence was considered inadmissible. Case dismissed
