I don't have lnowledge of every case in the ARC situation. If they knew though, which apparently they did or things wouldn't have been documented, then yes they should be responsible for not reporting, even as their own doctrine would have them do.

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).

Look, horrible abuses went on in the house next door growing up. They were JWs, and unfortunately they studied with my mom and fucked over the next three decades of my life. My best friend was next door. I had no clue what was going on until it all came out decades later. Nobody knew, including the congregation, and nothing could have been done. Had it been known we would have reported it. Why? No legal reason, it's just part of being a good person. Sadly, JWs don't really care about being good people, they only care about technicalities and written rules and miss out on chances to help.
In their own religious doctrine, failure to report what you know is implied consent to what happened and you could be disciplined for not speaking up. Yet those bastards know the kids are likely being raped and do nothing. They share responsibility for what goes on, by their own doctrine, and are hypocrites at best.

Richard, as I previously stated, Watchtower cannot know everything that goes on and therefore cannot be held accountable. I don't know why someone of your intellect couldn't see that.

Lol, let's get specific then Landy. Should Watchtower be responsible in the Fessler case?

What question do you want me to answer? I never asserted that JWs should be responsible for all abuse of children. They can't know about everything.

Richard Oliver, do you believe that they should be responsible when accusations are brought to elders and not dealt with? Once they know, do you find the Watchtower responsible? -

Where did I say that they should pay in all cases? Or are you referring to someone else?

Yeah, you can't keep pedophiles out of the organization, but you can take all accusations to the police and go above and beyond to take allegations seriously. If someone is hurt, you can reach out to them and offer real professional counseling and offer to pay for it if you allowed perpetrators to continue. JWs could just be good human beings instead of asshats and could limit their own damages. Few are suing them if they just handled their business better and didn't set themselves up as the ultimate authority to those inside. And under no circumstances should pedophiles ever go door to door, ever. -

Here, let me get this back on topic again. How awesome is it when Jehovah's Witnesses donate their hard earned dollars toward helping those hurt by their cult to recover. I mean, it's like JWs actually do something charitable for once. Sure, the money has to be legally ripped from their wretched hands, but it is so great to see them lose that money. I hope it helps their victims find peace and makes changes in the organization, however unlikely.
