  A Couple Points about New Elders Child Abuse Letter Directions ...........

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in aragon's thread which has reached 6 pages a couple of points were touched on that i wanted to bring out but thought these points deserved a whole thread to dissect and discuss them.. first off : there seems to be a total hypocrisy , arrogance, or typical speaking out of both sides of their mouth when the wt instructions in the letter says :.

  " the branch office, not the local body of elders, determines whether an individual who has sexually abused children in the past will be considered a ' predator ' .

  then this quote from the 1997 wt instructions : " and the congregation cannot read hearts to tell who is and who is not liable to molest children again.

  Flipper,

  I have to say I was quite disappointed when I came across the New elders child abuse letter directions. I was hoping for some real change, guess it will take many more judgements before they admit their huge issues and really put some heart into protecting children.

  Stillin,

  I'm personally glad the sister is looking after her child in the KH...too many others have been fooled into a false sense of security with their b/s and paid a very high price.

  Always error on the side of protecting children and let the police decide whether the accusation is true or false.

  My child's molester fooled many b/s into believing he did "nothing wrong" in fact he looked us in the face mouthing those same words on a few occasions. Imagian the suprise of those b/s who backed him completely when he finally admitted he was a molester.

  Molesters are masters of mulipulation...children and parents can only go with their feelings...if they feel uncomfortable, they should voice it. Right or wrong.

  A mixed bag. If eye contact is made I usually get a smile and greeting, however for some, if they can avoid me they will.

  Greetings from Candace Conti

  by AndersonsInfo in

  2. child-abuse

  candace asked me to tell you thank you for all your kind expressions of support.

  this really means a lot to her.

  she wants you to know that she is coping well with all the stress and excitement, even though she's had years of anger and frustration because of being abused for so long, first by the molester, and then by the wt.

  Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.

  the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.

  the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

  Thank you Barbara for all the updates.

  I was scanning through the court docs and came across the meaning of "Malice" as to the WTS...." despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and conscious disregard of the rights and safety of others." WOW! Powerful stuff!!

  Jane Doe, you have our support... (Jane Doe vs WTB&TS)

  many moons ago, i questioned the legitimacy of the steven unthank case and/or his manner of relating the news on his website.

  official court documents were difficult to locate (at least for some of us, and after a certain date) and my only direct source for information was unthank's own website, though later i heard from a poster who attended one of the hearings.

  i had my hopes up for a major case against the wt, but the little info i could verify left me confused.

  Thank you Candace!!

  I walked into my now 15 year old daughters room and told her what you accomplished today and she was soo happy for you.

  She also was a victim at the young age of 9 and received her victory by helping in sending her molester (ex elder) to prison.

  My favorite quote of all...

  "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

  You did something!!!
