There is a population in NYC of 8.5 million people, there are aprox 8.3 million!! JWs and growing and about 10.5 million people study the bible with JW. That's a lot of JW! Imagine taking a trip to NYC and everyone that you saw and spoke to is JW there, everywhere. There are about 3 million JW in the US (knocking on every door they see).

Now that's a bizarre thing to say. Nobody said or implied child abusers shouldn't join churches.
How is it bizzare and I never said that anyone said that child abusers shouldn't join churches. Again, if you could only read, in the Conti case it was established at the trial that it was known to competent authorities that Kendricks abused a minor before he abused Candace. Had he not been allowed by statute to join a church, he could not have had access to Candace, but instead, the authorities unleashed the perpetrator without warning upon society expecting the church to do their police work for them, the church not being legally required to do so.
Disclaimer: Kendricks was never criminally convicted beyond reasonable doubt of abusing Candace and maintains his innocence.

Watchtower Loses an Appeal
by TerryWalstrom inpublication court of appeal, fourth appellate district division one state of california osbaldo padron, plaintiff and respondent, v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc., defendant and appellant.findingwatchtower has abused the discovery process.
it has zealously advocated its position and lost multiple times.
yet, it cavalierly refuses to acknowledge the consequences of these losses and the validity of the court's orders requiring it to produce documents in response to request number 12. and, in a further act of defiance, watchtower informed the court that it would not comply with the march 25, 2016 order 39 requiring it to produce documents responsive to request number 12. the court, following lopez, supra, 246 cal.app.4th 566, as an incremental step toward terminating sanctions if watchtower persists in its unjustified conduct, imposed monetary sanctions.

Per the courts orders: Only Zalkin and staff are allowed to view these documents.
It doesn't matter. The existence of such files are verified, the files are soepenable, church privacy is defeated, wt is now losing cases in the Courts.

Great wording, as it aligns with Romans 13:1, which Watchtower claims to abide by.
There was litigation going on which sought to determine how and if US Constitution and other Federal laws right to church privacy applies to this Court Order which will result in disclosure of protected information to some extent. There are US laws that protect information from being disclosed, wt just can't ignore those laws either. Besides that, suppose those persons affected by the Court order sued wt for disclosing their information without their authorization. In all fairness you have to take all these factors into consideration. Also, it is not about protecting child molestors or defeating wt but doing what is just and proper and good.

The names of perpetrators are not to be redacted. However, all of the information is subject to a court-ordered protective order and cannot be made public at this time
There should be some worried people out there who's names are in those files. There goes confidentiality for child molestors if they see those files and now who is next when a Court orders to see anybody's file if wt has a record on anyone. It could be yours.

I asked this question myself since he had a previous conviction, he would have gotten a even longer sentience -Finkelstein
Or at least charged with a crime. The Defense argued that child welfare and law enforcement knew about Kendricks and did nothing to stop Kendricks from joining a church and when he did, they did nothing to warn the congregation.
And when it was decided by a preponderance of the evidence that he molested Candace, they did nothing.

You would think that with all of the evidence presented in the Conti case that Kendricks would be convicted of a crime but he wasn't even charged -at least not till this date.

A while back, I went to a doctor for a visit and at his office there was a sign that stated "We report evidence of child abuse to the authorities." When I went in to see him, I asked: "Doc, you get many children here that you have to notify child welfare?" He said: "None, so far." So I tell him: "Who is going to bring you their child if they know you are going to report him? Why don't you take down the sign?" He said: "Legal reasons."
