Fin, Richard Oliver is saying that people are not liable or held legally accountable for doing things that are not moral, but only if a persons actions or conduct violates the law or causes harm or damages to someone or sonething. You can express outrage about it, but it you try to stop a person from doing something you geel is immoral and that person has a right to do it, you can get in trouble.

The Danger of Settlements
by Tech49 ini was pondering the recent influx of lawsuits against wt, specifically in regards to the child abuse cases (ie.
conti, fessler, lopez, etc).. in each of these, wt has settled for an "undisclosed" amount, assumed to be in the millions of dollars each.
i know there are many many more cases, subject for a different thread i'm sure.. i was reading something completely unrelated a while back that mentioned the dangers of settlement agreements for a large corporation or business (not just wt).

So what your saying then the Catholic religion and the JWS religion shouldn't have never been held accountable or responsible for their actions
Fin, read Richard Oliver's Kiwanis illustration, please.

JW tries to reform "these" people which is a lot more than a lot of people do. It is something because it teaches the person to stop himself.

The laws of land are there and devised to protect the population from harm.
That is what trials are all about when someone is accused of harming somebody else.

WT brought up the argument at the Conti trial, DA and ACS knew about Kendricks, why didn't the gov warn and protect having the duty to protect physically. Instead of unleashing him upon society. WT made it clear at the trial that they provide spiritual protection, they have no legal responsibilty to protect physically.

Things have to change but that involve new legislation
And you can't take that to Court and sue for damages. The law is what it is and if you try to enforce your morality against the law, you are in trouble.

Costo has many members. If one of its members or employees punched you, also a member, while you were at a bar, can you sue Costco?
Suppose you, a member of Coscto, got punched by another member of Coscto inside Costco, can you sue Costco?
Suppose a Coscto employee working at the time inside Costco, punched you, can you sue Costco? Suppose he was outside the store having a lunch break when he punched you?
Suppose a Costco employee inside the store banged a pallet jack into you and hurt you, Can you sue the store? Can you sue Costco if the store is owned by another corporation?
Of course you can sue whenever you like, but is Costco liable?

Richard, if an adult child goes to his mother for help and confesses a crime to her; does the mother have a moral duty to report the crime to the police?

Actually, Watchtower has been repeatedly shown that they have no fiduciary responsibility toward members.
A third party would be vicariously liable if a fiduciary relationship existed. WT has not been found to have such a relationship as you have stated correctly.
In Conti, the Court decided that "wt" regulated the church sponsored activity and found wt vicariously liable in that instance.

Richard Oliver, in the Conti case, did the jurisdictional prosecuting agency find enough evidence to charge Kendricks with the crime of violating Candace?
