9th district partially reverses jehovah’s witnesses molestation suit.
tracey blairlegal news reporter published: september 20, 2016. a lorain county trial court erred when it ordered the west congregation of jehovah’s witnesses to produce certain documents for discovery in a child molestation case.. however, the trial court was correct in concluding the majority of documents that were compelled are not protected from disclosure via the clergy-penitent privilege or the first amendment, according to a recent decision by the 9th district court of appeals.. former west congregation member elizabeth mcfarland sued the lorain-based church in 2013 for negligence, ratification and fraud by omission/concealment.. according to case summary, mcfarland was a member of west congregation from 1997 to 2001, when she was 10 to 14 years old.
mcfarland’s parents told church elders that scott silvasy, a fellow member, had molested their daughter for several years.. silvasy died in 2003. mcfarland claimed elders never disciplined him or reported the issue to their superiors, and discouraged her parents from doing so.. in her suit, mcfarland said church elders were aware silvasy had previously molested a minor and was a danger to her.
Again they just seem obstructive by not complying!
This is about children's safety GB!
If the society wants to give a "good witness", surely the wisest thing to do is to comply and be cooperative with such enquiries! By being argumentative and non compliant, they just come off looking guilty and heartless!
just look at his history!

Haha Pete!
"a little Kevin ferments the whole lump!"
Best comment!! Love it!
in my old congregation there are two brothers (non related) who are in the early 30s.
they've never dated girls.
they're "best friends".
How neatly decorated is their home?
due to unforeseen circumstances, i need to say goodbye.
proverbs 14:16 nlt.
i have every faith that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will bring about needed change very soon given the continuous pressure they face.
As it says in revelation about religious groups who fail to speak truth: "get out from amongst her, if you do not wish to share in her sins"
so if that quote from the bible is correct, for every year that goes by another couple of million people will need to be destroyed.
it just doesn't make sense right?
.
Well, the more fun those 144000 can have killing people at the big A then!

luke 21:11 says:there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.
but verse 12 says:but before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons.
you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
Great idea and thoughts Tor! Don't give the society any ideas...they are likely to do exactly as you have outlined!
And PE, that is gold!
has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?
i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.
some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".
I hate it when I hear them say "the truth" (because there has been so much mistruth, thus making that expression ironic and misleading)
I always use the expression "the society" instead....
lets try to think about this "logically", and i use that term loosely, because we are going to use jw "logic".. so, they say that satan is real.
these are the last days.
satan is "roaring about", like a lion, with him and his demons "trapped" within the confines of earth.
Nice reasoning!!
Very good

Honestly ask yourself, "how much does the society fit this description??"
