My thoughts are certainly with Candace Conti. I sure hope this puts an end to this legal battle you bravely took on.
I hope she knows no matter what the outcome is she has made a huge difference, because of her strength many others have come forward to expose this religion for what they are.
We may not be there physically in the courtroom, but we will be cheering her on in spirit!!
i recently found out that my family's horriable experience helped one mother decide to never go back!!
in turn, her 2 teenage children have been living normal lives.
i can't tell you how happy i am for them..

i posted in the child abuse section, but it hasn't been active for a few days.. i read somewhere on the internet (don't recall what site it was) that jw's donations are going towards sexual abuse cases.. is this true?.
where can i find solid evidence regarding this matter?.
.
They need men to keep their org running. Free workers are more important to them then children, plain in simple.

did any of you guys sit down and read this??
it's long but i assure you it's a great read.. .
The lawyer really used their own printed articles against them.
the exchange that started on page 46 of the deposition regarding the awake April 8, 1993 really made a great point.
Its speaking of statements made by victims and reporters regarding pedoophile priests withing the Catholic Church.
deposition page 47 quotes " the second abuse occurs victims of abuse, fails to take their abuse accusation seriously and moves onto protecting the offending priest.
Well it goes on...
toward the end the lawyer asks Ashe " if parents are not warned that there is a child molester with in their mist, that has the ability or maybe able to come I contact with their children, does that not perpetuate that kind of silence that the Jehovah Witness organization is warning against?"
after an objection
answer: Not in my view it doesn't.

literally, a text message to my husband from one of his "friends".
he also wrote, "it's in her hands.
it's her move now.
I agree, good lord!
Look, the truth is.....your going to be the bad guy for a while, life is going to be hell for a while.
I know its completely overwhelming right now because everything is all happening at once but try to think of it as a band-aid being ripped off quickly.
In the end you are done with these wacko people and on your way to a new life.
Just be glad you see where your husbands alliance is now, instead of 10 years from now.
I have family members stick in loveless marriages completely misrable all in the name of being a good little JW. It's completely ugly with no end in sight.
Just try to look past this ugliness and into your future.
i celebrated halloween and my birthday and the elders have been told.
husband told the elders i've called the religion a cult.
they said i'm "heading down a road to be an apostate.
I'm really sorry your going through all this, especially the fact that it was your husband who turned you in.
By what you shared so far seems they have no idea what to do with such a strong woman...lol.
Trust me, they are trying to figure out how to put you in your place and yes they will use anything and anyone to do it.
My advice would be not to meet with them...refuse any communication and just let them do what they're going to do. The only control they have is what you give them.
I wish you and your kids all the best.
