The day I showed up, I sat in the middle up front - more to the right than the left - with a bunch from the hall. Beside me was the wife one of the elder's who was named in the suit. I sat there so I could be closer to Scott and Vicky and their counsel who went at least three times with th stupid stick. I sure had a lot of fun for my couple of hours ... Why, I almost tripped poor Glen's cane out from underneath him during recess.

When the Fifth estate did its program on the JWs covering up abuse in 2002 or so, I believe the associated producer (Linda G) had found about 60 cases in Canada and attended actually attended another criminal case in Sask.

I would also love to see a civil case start gooing here. The problem with civil suits in this country is it costs a lot of money up front.

Well I still remember How adjusting his hearing aid at the Boer trial and Her Honour was about ready to lose it on him. Oh my that was funny.

His claim to fame to most in the media will be the article 2 for freedom of religion wins in front of the Supremes. Of course none in the media ever asked him why his own organiziation would not give the same freedoms and rights to its members as Canada gives to its citizens.

To me his claim to fame will be how his team would try to cover for abusers such as the Mike Moss case reported by the Fifth Estate up in the Sault Ste. Marie.

Unfortunately there are still many in Georgetown that have taken his place.

"SECRETS OF PEDOPHILIA" CD Court Records Now FREE to Download

by AndersonsInfo in

we're happy to announce that now all 5,000 pages of court records from the nine child sexual abuse lawsuits involving sixteen victims, settled by watchtower in february 2007, are available for free download from our website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.

there are a total of twelve files, besides a file containing a commentary explaining the lawsuits, and each file can be downloaded separately.

due to the fact that many people purchased the cd, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion," thus, reimbursing us for the expense to buy, compile and publish the court documents, there is now no reason to sell the material anymore.

Besides the 1991 and 1994 letters from Hoeffel you will also need those articles like the 1991 "Their refuge - a lie" article to really make the point stick.

If she becomes receptive, try a questioning style approach and get her to go there instead of you feeding her.

I always try to give my link when I talk about this. I updated this essay (with the help of Osarif) to add the WT magazine articles that banned such type of behaviour.

Frankly, when a JW actually takes the rose coloured glasses off and then really thinks this through carefully it usually hits home as to what this leadership truly is.

A JW would have been dissassociated for getting the same library card the way the leadership got its library card. Oddly they could have received the same use and access of the library books and literature as I do by going to another library that has access to the UN library.

And to top it off, if the library card (that probably cost the leadership a few thousand dollars in employee time and adminstration costs) was okay for the leadership for ten plus years then why was it not okay for those poor Malawian JW folks to purchase that 25 cent political card rather than get raped, beaten and murdered.
