  Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.

  the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.

  the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

  I'm assuming Kendrick (perp) being a 'private individual' won't be finding $16Million down the back of his sofa. How does this work? Kendrick is an 'agent' of the WT (in this case), so will the WT be liable for his 'portion'?

  Thanks for this. I hope it encourages/opens the floodgates for others to come forward (crikey, there must be MANY).

  I think, in England, we are 'sheltered' from all that happens in USA...it's all so 'distant' to us. It would be a fabulous idea to contact (religious correspondents of) British newspapers.

  I wonder if (similar to the UNO fiasco when it hit the newspapers) when the R&F hear/read about this and maybe approach the elders with questions, it will be dumbed down or even maybe denied as just an elaborate apostate story to discredit the Society..?

  Bethel's buildings in New York have demonic Gargoyles on each corner...yet Spalock is bad?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the bishop or rouen defeated a gargoyle with his crucifix....after burning the body only the head remained which was put on the church to scare away other demonic creatures.

  the tradition continued in many buildings today.. now bethel has these creatures on buildings like the bossert hotel....yet sparlock is evil and must be removed???

  with millions of dollars at stake i guess a little demon next to "the watchtower" sign is okay..

  Another vote here tresdecu - nicely written, I hope it's printed (and hope, maybe, their photographer can 'capture' things differently)

  Kids play with dragons, talking animals and cartoon characters

  Perhaps the WT's sequel will warn kiddies of the danger of watching cartoons/playing with 'talking animal' toys. It's an easy link to the 'talking serpent' - and we all know what happened to him, and those who listened to him. Come on WT, you can really steal ALL of childhood with a little more effort.

  I'd like to think every victim will come forward - would it bankrupt the Society ?

  .. the written policy of Watchtower New York, Inc., which instructed all Elders in Jehovah’s Witnesses

  Congregations in the United States to keep reports of child sex abusers within Jehovah’s Witnesses secret to

  avoid lawsuits.

  So they KNOW they are breaking the Law..?
