  Blondie,

  Do you know if anyone has contacted SNAP regarding the Candace Conti case? It couldn't hurt...

  my poor mum fell over on sunday and broke her hip.

  she was taken to hospital and yesterday had an operation to place a pin in the joint.

  this was obviously a worrying time for all concerned and my dad let us all know what was going on.

  Wow! Wish there was a place to comment on the website. Seems JW children are more at risk in a KH than on the internet. What hypocrites!

  Some of you aren't going to like this news, but here goes...

  rick simons, candace conti's attorney, will be interviewed on the six screens of the watchtower conference phone line this evening.

  there's a good chance that candace will join in, but that's not set in stone.

  the host of the program, rick, told me to tell everybody that he is learning how to calm down and to do better on these conference calls.

  Hi Barbara,

  Thanks for all you do!

  I have met Rick several times. He's a nice guy in person...but his online persona and promotional stuff did far more harm than good. His own behavior took away any credibility he had. I truly hope he has learned from his mistakes.

  I can't tune in tonight... have other plans...but hope it goes well. Candace is one brave young lady...her story needs to be heard. I hope the tv news media picks up on it soon.

  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.

  (PIONEERING) and the way to get ahead: PIOUS SNEERING

  by Terry in

  the year was 1969.. i had just spent my 2 years fulfilling my "neutrality" obligations to jehovah's organization during the viet nam war by going in to federal prison.. i thought i could use my parole to get my life together.. getting a job, saving some money, buying a car and getting a place to live didn't seem like radical or worldly ideas to me.. i guess i was pretty surprised when i walked in to the kingdom hall where i had not set foot since 1967.. .

  instead of a homecoming i was greeted by----the congregation overseer (the pre-elder days).. in his hot little hand was the pioneer application form.

  he handed it to me saying, "i know you'll want to continue your serving jehovah full time!".

  My son was murdered today

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
