Of the over 25,000 pedophile cases in the secret files at Brooklyn's Bethel complex, it may be that about 7,000 are from California. You'll notice that more towns in the state of California are listed as places for which silentlambs.org has had reports of JW pedophiles than in any other state:
California Adelanto Arcadia Anderson Aliso Viejo Alpine Bishop Boulder Creek Booneville
Burney Canyon Country Carmichael Clairemont Colfax Concord Encinitas Forrest Park
Fresno Fullerton Gerber Glen Cove Gilroy King City La Costa Lake Elsinore Lake Tahoe
Larkspur Lindsay Lone Pine Long Beach Loomis Los Angeles Madera Manteca Marietta
Monterrey North Cypress Oakland Oroville Placerville Paradise Valley Petaluma Philo Pollock Pines Porterville Red Bluff Roseville Rocklin Sacramento Salinas San Bernardino San Diego
San Jose Santa Clarita Santa Cruz Santa Maria Santa Rosa Sebastopol Shell Beach
Stockton Temple City Truckee Ukiah Universal City Union City Visalia Vista Weaverville
Wilmington Westminister Whittier Woodland Yorkville. For more states and towns click http://silentlambs.org/sllist.htm
Sometimes a single pedophile will sexually abuse dozens even hundreds of children. There's more than 70 California cities in this list. Los Angeles alone may have hundreds of JW pedophiles and being in a major population area each of those on the average have access to far more children than say a JW pedophile in a smaller town like Sebastopol. So, yes, there could be 7,000 victims eager to sue the Watchtower Society even in California all by itself.
True, it's also possible there was a mixup with the 7,000 figure given as members of silentlambs.org, but in consideration of the above paragraph I would say the application may also be in reference to Californians eager to sue. Further, since a gag order was part of the settlements of the three cases (among not just 16 but now we learn 17 total), we can only guess that estimations that each victim was paid $3,000,000 to $4,500,000 a piece may be correct and why the Watchtower Society is suddenly trying to sell off some choice buildings in Brooklyn including one estimated worth more than $30,000,000 all by itself.
This is a great incentive for additional victims in California and all over the world to start suing.
It is interesting that when alive Pat Garza alleged that when a District Overseer in Los Angeles, the Watchtower Society boss Ted Jaracz molested her and other kids in a Satanic, ritual manner, and also that Barbara Anderson has noted that Harry Peloyan of the Writitng Department pointed out Jaracz being anti-reformist regarding child molestation and the accepting of testimony from persons who said they had been molested. This is not an "accusation" but an observation, Jaracz.
As a manner of opinion though I would say that for various reasons the other Governing Body members are crazy to keep you on board, but being in charge of the powerful secretive Service Department squad at Bethel and branched out into the congregations, you do know a whole lot of interesting things about each of them.
They must be squirming every Wednesday when they sit down together with you, and be wondering how much longer you'll be around before your medical condition checks you out. If you last a few more years no telling how much and how fast the Watchtower Society will fall financially and otherwise.
Ted Jaracz and Gene Smalley, quite the dynamic duo. The Watchtower Society is falling. Who of the Annointed will take them on to save it?
Any JW and exJW readers are invited to use the following to type in the names of active JW males in your congregations. It doesn't locate all who have records as sex offenders but it can help pinpoint some of them and so help protect the kids. If you find some, mail a letter to JW parents so they will have notice: http://www.criminalcheck.com/
