  i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.

  i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

  Here you can find the case listed by searching "Elizabeth McFarland"

  http://cp.onlinedockets.com/LorainCP/case_dockets/Search.aspx?PassedSearchType=1

  The Judge assigned to the case is John Miraldi.

  Some comments from the Judge when he was runnng for election:

  Miraldi, an Elyria resident, has worked as a civil attorney at private practices for the past 25 years. He joined Miraldi & Barrett Co. after leaving the University of Toledo and stayed with them until 1999. He then opened his own law firm, John R. Miraldi Co. and has run it for the past 12 years. He has been married for 25 years and has three children.

  Miraldi has run his practice on strong Democratic principles, he said.
  
  “I have represented people for my entire legal career under a contract that says I don’t get paid unless I win,” he said. “These people come to me because they’ve been injured, maybe it’s a work site safety matter, maybe it’s medical negligence.”
  
  Though he has not handled criminal cases, Miraldi said his background with complex litigation makes him capable of learning quickly.
  
  “I have the intellect to pick up criminal codes; the rules of procedure, the rules of evidence, are very similar,” he said.
  
  Miraldi decided to run for the office because he feels he could serve the public well.
  
  “I’ve never sought public employment before,” Miraldi said. “I think I can give back to this community by being a judge who is fair minded, who is skilled legally, who understands that access to the court is not enough, it must be fair once you get inside. A judge must preside over the courtroom where no one has an unfair advantage because of who they are or how much money they have.”

  @spalsh DATA-DOG is spot on with the double-speak accusation. They "say" one thing then impose another. If I have no special relationship with the society then why are they concerned about my actions and call me before a "legal" hearing of 3 elders?

  No special relationship, then leave me alone.

  The legal position with these cases is actually quite simple. The society knew of a molester and let him carry on without reporting him or informing others of the danger.

  Ha ha, you beat me to it. Just posted a couple of minutes after you. Good find though although not really something we have to search for these days - so many coming out of the woodwork.
