New article: "The Girl Who Took On The Watchtower - Candace Conti Speaks Out"
by cedars in

2. child-abuse
in light of the latest videos to be released featuring candace conti and rick simons, i have decided to publish a new blog article on the link below:.

http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/the-girl-who-took-on-the-watchtower-candace-conti-speaks-out.

for the most part, i've written this article because i found much of what candace and rick had to say intriguing to say the least.

That was an exceptionally well written article, Cedars. You certainly have a talent for identifying the Watchtower's weaknesses and hypocrisy.
BTW - The last part of Rick Simons' presentation is on YouTube. But this is not the end. There is more...

Sorry. Can't seem to get the video to show properly. Just go to YouTube direct.
Also available at RandyTV.com
In the next couple of videos, selected questions from the audience will be presented. Some of the replies by Candace and Mr. Simons are very revealing. A lot of additional information comes out that reveals what was happening in the background. I hope to have all edited and online by Friday morning.

Enjoy this, soft+gentle...
Part 6 is now on YouTube.
Rick Simons picks up where he left off in part 5. Why did Candace's case have a chance in court compared to other similar situations? What were the elders' obligations under the law. What directions had they received from the Watchtower? How were those guidelines distributed? Why this case is so significant and what Candace Conti was really asking the elders to do? What about her abuser? Where is he and what is his status today?
Yes, inquiring minds want to know and attorney Simons did his best to cover all the bases. I was there and feel that his presentation was informative and presented in a direct, no nonsense manner.
Part 7 later today...

Need Clarification RE: Candice Conti Case
by What Now? in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i was just looking over some of the documents from the candice conti case and just need something clarified.. in the letter dated august 31, 1998 from the freemont elders to the branch, they answered the question "how is he viewed in the community/authorities" with "legal authorities contacted, police report made, no action taken by courts, community unaware".

it appears from this letter that the brothers did in fact contact the authorities and they chose to take no action.. this leaves me a little confused as to what exactly the society is at fault for here.

is the issue that they didn't notify members of the congregation, which allowed jonathan kendrick to molest his victim?

Watch for the next set of Videos (Candace Conti Tells Her Story) on YouTube. Rick Simons will explain many of the details and why the court ruled so heavily in Candace's favor.

SheeptoSlaughter:
Actually, Mrs. Hampton is very familiar with the case. But not everyone in the room was that knowledgeable. So Cynthia was trying to draw out from Candace some of the details that might not have been as well known. Plus, videos were being made of the session and thousands of viewers will have little or no knowledge of the case.
Cynthia was just acting as a TV reporter, asking many questions that she already had answers for, but those watching the videos would be unable to ask.
Thanks Blindnomore for you helpful comments and support.
More are on there way...

Rick Simons is up next. Prepare to be blown away!
I'll upload 3 and 4 to Vimeo later today or tomorrow, but they are having system problems at their end. I wasted over an hour trying to get #3 up before I found out that their servers were malfunctioning.
Show your support for Candace and her legal team by getting the message out. Please feel free to pass the word on Twitter and Facebook. We look forward to your comments on these videos.
Those of you with websites - feel free to embed any or all of these videos.

Introducing Mrs Cedars...
by cedars in
1. jw
2. friends
i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.

she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.

she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

Glad to meet you at last, Mrs. Cedars. Your hubby and I meet frequentlyat the local pub to share a pint or two. I live just over the next hillside in Oregon. I try to keep Mr. Cedars out of trouble, but since you know him even better than I, you know how difficult that can be.
By the way, Mrs. Cedars, have you taken the 2012 JW Survey yet? And if you did, did you give all of the right answers? Inquiring minds want to know...
