Randy,
All I have is his word. He has never lied to me.
Yesterday over the phone , I asked him if he worked on that case and he said "yes for two years". He rattled of a list of things he did on that case and told me the the names of the people he worked with. Too much detailed info for him to be lieing.
I was sitting in the Post Office parking lot when I was speaking to him . I don't remember their names.
I was only asking him out of courisoty.
If I had of known I'd be asked a question like that , I would have taken notes.
I just took him at his word.

their firm understandin' become shakey ground if confronted wit their own words.
last week a elder from the hall i attended, kindly approached me, ask why i ( an unbaptised publisher ) stopped.
attending.
i didn’t really care for anthony very much.
at the time of this story he was 13 or 14 years old, a clever and precocious kid down the hall.
he was extremely zealous about the truth and took it, and himself, very seriously.
Anthony would have annoyed me too but that was awful.
Poor kid.
I hope he is free of Watchtower and mellowed out .

Yes Jamie your correct. I was married to Bill and we left the cult at the same time.
creepy that people who were so closely related to the discovery of the child molestation problem remained jws?
Yes i is creepy. It is very frustrating because they know all about the corruption of Watchtower but choose to push those facts so far in the back of their minds that they forget. They go on proudly following those men. I have been round and round about all those things with them. It does no good.
They put their own blindfolds on and purposely stay blind about their precious Organization.
Hi Skally,
Bill was working on the Conto case for about two years.
Others were involved helping on that case as well.
I am so appreciative of all their hard work.
The outcome was worth it.
Bill sent out the press release immediately on Friday June 15th, the very next day after the case was won.
He posted it on the Silentlambs website and on on his Facebook page.
He updated his site and posted News stories about the case and new info on his FB page as it came out.
This story was plastered all over the internet through various news sources and people like us spreading the news.
I'm sure people tweeted about this story the same way Sparlock made it to Twitter.
Not sure about You Tube though. I haven't looked there yet.
He is still working very hard for this cause.
He is traveling a lot due to working with lawyers on research and as an expert witness on other JW child abuse cases.
He is spread very thin.
He told me about a custody case they won yesterday.I don't know very many of the the details but a JW mom was fighting for custody of her 7 year old girl.
Bill served as an expert witness on that case and the non JW Father won full custody.
They were going to baptize that little 7 year old girl at their next assembly which was only a week away.
Some of the rulings in that case were great.
The judge ruled that the Mother could not try to influence the daughter with JW teachings or any other religious teachings.

the domestic violence, crime and victims (amendment) act 2012 comes into force on monday in england and wales to allow prosecution for those who stay silent over a child's serious physical abuse.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18638734.
whilst this law was put in place to stop a loophole whereby those who commit child murder claim it was someone else while they just remained silent, this now makes those who do not take steps to stop the abuse equally guilty.. elders who do not take steps to stop or report the serious abuse of minors could face prosecution and 10 years in prison.
it may no longer be good enough to tell the abused or abusers it's their right to go to authorities (per the 2010 elders manual) they now need to take action.. whether criminal prosecutions are brought against elders who masquerade as police, judge, jury and social workers whilst not themselves reporting abuse of a minor will remain to be seen, however the law now exists to make it possible.. any jw child who comes to serious harm where the elders knew about it should ask themselves - could i have stopped this by telling the police?
Great news. I agree with Lady Lee, We need the whole world o adopt these kinds of laws.
i was raised as a jw and i haven't been to a meeting in about 8 years..
I was raised in . Babtized at 13,was in for over 30 years. I was out mentally for about a year before
I quite going to meetings 12 years ago and have not looked back!

I want my sister out of that cult. I want her back here on this board laughing and making fun of all this.
I think of what a self rightious bitch I was when I was in. I'm not afraid to tell on myself.
I share this stuff not to make her look bad.I am mad and hurt and I love her. We all know she is confused.
But I want others to see that they are not alone with their simular experiences plus I hope people will read these stories and see Watchtower for what it is.

Thanks Fernando.
Balaamsass, I feel for you. Not a nice thing to go through.
Awaken,
Isn't amazing how dubs can leave the cult then come back in full force and act like self righteous bitches - your words :)
Yes, I truly think they blank their time out of the Organization from their minds.
She would freak if she read some of her posts here, remembered marching with Silentlambs in NY, the apostafeasts.....
I bet she forgot, she may still be registered to vote.
I really have tried to understand this. I cant figure out why she would want to go back. She always spoke of how she never fit in and never could live up.
The only thing I can boil it down to is that something must mave triggered her fear of the big A.

i posted a long experience earlier today along with an email letter from my sister.
sent to me back in january informing me she was going to be shunning me.. had not heard a word from her for 6 months then.
my sister called out of the blue one evening last month.
Finaly Awake, I sent a PM back
Awaken 2004, I have a sense of humor about it all too. I vacilate between emotions of anger, sadness, and laughter at how crazy it all is.
I quit laughing @
Chichimama (Around here I'd get slapped for calling a women that)
