    Throughout this whole WT child abuse fiasco in my opinion the most telling reason the WT leaders do NOT want to disclose exact names in the courts of JW pedophiles on the database list of 20,000 or so is because that list has the names of WT leaders and higher ups in the organization- many of them. To WT leaders they'd rather pay out the 13.5 million $$$$ in " hush " money in order to keep bad publicity out of any worldwide media - because if these higher up WT names leak out into the press- THEN it may actually start being the WT Society's downfall. U.S. Marshal authorities may get involved like they did in the Warren Jeff' s case with the Mormon church and the FBI might start interrogating WT leaders. And WT leaders do NOT want that.

    WT leaders have already seen how poorly GB members represent their organization on witness stands. Example : Geoff Jackson in Australia. In the U.S. if you put " tight pants " Anthony Morris, Losch, or god forbid Stephen Lett on a court witness stand- god only knows what crazy stuff will pour out of their mouths. So this is another angle ; I think the WT legal department really doesn't trust the ability of any current GB members to testify without blowing it for them. But WT leaders are already blowing it by being arrogant and refusing " Caesar's courts " information concerning WT child abuse. Makes them even look guiltier like they have something to hide. But, oh that's right they- DO have something to hide that will cost them hundreds of millions $$$$$$ . Weirdos.

    Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    It's really difficult to figure out why they are so resistant because they don't make their decisions based on logic or known business patterns. The thought that they are concerned with some of the names on the list (Bethel heavies, DOs even GB members) is certainly a possibility and logically that's why they may fight so hard. I know the WT attorney's don't want to see any GB members take the stand because their arrogance would make them awful witnesses. But, what do you expect from a group of guys that run an 8 million person organization where everything they order gets done? Plus they think this is just training for ruling the entire world for eternity! How does that not go to your head if you truly believe it??

    The better strategy would be to cooperate, pay for the past mistakes and revamp the system to protect children better. Even from a business prospective, the good will generated would make up for the short term losses. It's really puzzling why they don't do that. Morally, its obviously the right thing and I think long term business strategy it would also be the right thing. But, I believe they think Jehovah will bail them out on this issue.

    Abso-f**king-lutely.

    If I was serving in the WT Legal Dept. in the current climate, I'd be either terrified of having the GB testify, or I'd be anxiously planning my exit from the WT Legal Dept. :smirk:

    Wifibandit- Would you be able to send the PDF of your Massachusetts WT letter of 2002 to the bodies of elders you made a thread about to Irwin Zalkin's law firm before this San Diego court date tomorrow ? Can you E-mail the PDF to his firm ? I'm sure he would use it appropriately in order to prove the WT Society IS aware of the laws- they have just ignored the laws about reporting . Hopefully you can. Take care , Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    wifi, thank you again. I always like to get the US versions so if I ever decide to drop some truth bombs on people, they can't say, "Well that's how it works in the UK"
