Three to four million dollars per victim means it's a major victory for them, silentlambs.org and all future victims as well. As to people finding out about it, can you hide the light of the sun?
The six buildings the Watchtower Society has had to sell aren't the only things they've had to sell. The average JW isn't increasing donations and some are dropping donations in amount or entirely.
They are also getting horrible press in Canada especially since two of the sextuplets died when the JW parents backed by the Watchtower Society's attorney wouldn't give them transfusions even to help keep them alive.
The British Columbia government had to have the other four transfused to help save their lives, and the attorney named Shane Brady was dumb enough to take the BC government for task for saving their lives! Ted Jaracz and Gene Smalley must be wetting their pants.
Thank you Mr. Brady and Watchtower Society for being so stupid! You have really betrayed the regular JWs.
Also, this settlement has established that the Watchtower Society, not just local elders, is liable for the future lawsuits by other victims. It is a precedent that will be used in other states and nations as well.
Thanks Bill Bowen and Silentlambs.org. When you're ready it'll be fascinating to see the victory party. Got to go hit the road for a long drive, but doing so with a song in my heart!
