  i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .

  opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.

  the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.

  Thank you Candace Conti.

  You stood up with such poise and grace!

  This is a victory!! you have done what others were too fearful to do. I'm so grateful to you and your example of strength.

  Is the fight over? Not even close...but you got the ball rolling. These policies WILL change you just wait and see. I don't care how stubborn those old men are they will be forced to do something, and as a result children will be a little safer in that religion. That is after all the most important thing.

  I hope you take the money and live a beautiful happy life!

  Confused. I guess I'll wait until they publish the opinion.

  I still probably won't understand.

  Kendrick " Letter of Introduction " from Elders regarding Candace Conti Case

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as many of us saw in the pbs news hour program and the abc news nightline program the elders from one congregation failed to communicate properly to the elders in another congregation concerning the child molester jonathan kendrick when he moved to a new congregation.

  i have parts of this " introduction letter " from the fremont congregation to the oakley congregation elders so you can read it for yourself and decide how irresponsible these wt appointed elders were.

  dated 1/16/98 it opens : .

  When you were Hard-Core JW, did Opponents Screaming or Filming you help your Exit?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  2. beliefs

  all of us are upset in different ways, some of us are ferociously angry because, let's face it, it's our fault!

  i had many clues they were lying about our religion but i failed to see through them because of the pain of admitting we got conned and family pressure from peers stopped me from making a courageous choice.

  when i read about people who confronted the elders and won their judicial committees (even though the jw elders df'ed them) my heart goes out to their courage, their amazingly stronger than i will ever be.

  Not at all, if anything it just made me feel they had some serious mental issues. Funny because I was the one with mental issues!

  i could only find the article in french, but you can use google translate.

  i remember this guy vividly and it churns my stomach to think of what he did to that poor girl.

  Glad to hear the victim is reaching out for help and received at least some justice.

  This should help her in her recovery. I wish her well.

  How is Joe Publisher reacting to all the TV coverage on the abuse cases?

  by 4thgen in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  please pardon if this a repeated topic.

  i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.

  she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.

  Maybe it's not reaching as many JW's as we would like but it is reaching the news and the newspapers and as a result many will think twice about opening up their doors to witnesses.

  It also helps those who may be on the fence about reaching out to authorities or a lawyer more of a push knowing they will be listened to.

  @ Mad Irishman

  You would be surprised by what they get away with! Your right it doesn't make sense at all.

  We went trough the same thing....molester was convicted of molesting multiple victims and guess what? Yup. He went to prison still a JW.

  I would make calls to the elders asking why and would get nothing but excuses that made absolutely no sense. Two year passed before we finally heard he was disfellowshipped and not one of the elders called us to let us know...we heard it through the grapevine.
