Has the Jehovah's Witness computer data base number totaling 23,720 child molesters on file in Patterson, New York created a public nuisance by keeping the names secret ?

has the jehovah's witness computer data base number totaling 23,720 child molesters on file in patterson, new york created a public nuisance by keeping the names secret ?.

that question, is basically before the court,regarding roman catholics.. .

in the first lawsuit under a new minnesota law that allows victims of child sexual abuse to bring claims decades later, accuses the archdiocese of saint paul and minneapolis and the diocese of winona of negligence for allowing a known pedophile to continue working with children for years.. the plaintiff, identified as "doe 1," seeks a court order to force the church to release an internal list of "credibly accused child molesting priests," and accuses the church of creating a public nuisance by keeping the names secret.. .

Well, even if there is credible information that they have such a list with that number of names, if the list only includes those who have been accused at some point or another, they would probably be liable to a bunch of people for defamation if they published the list.

unless an extension is requested..

I believe it means that they didn't file their opposition brief timely, and they get 15 days to cure - just like the WTS did in March.

The Watchtower Again In The News, Could be Legal Issue

please, can anyone help update with this google search?

it could be a legal issue that might have escaped our attention.. .

Scott, in the appeals brief you linked to, the party cites Watchtower Bible & Tract Soc’y v. Village of Stratton, 536 U.S. 150 (2002). It's a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court case about door-to-door preaching and the First Amendment. I'm sure you've read about it at some point. It even has its own Wikipedia page.

It's a case that has nothing to do with the WTBTS. One of the parties has cited a previous case involving WTBTS in their legal arguments, which is probably what caused it to show up in the google search.

Kaitlyn Hunt case in Florida?

what do participants here think about the case in florida of 18-year-old kaitlyn hunt who allegedly had sex with a 14-year-old?

cnn article: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/24/justice/florida-teen-sex-case/index.html.

I don't agree with her attorney who says if it had been a boy and a girl no one would have paid attention to this. There are lots of 18 year old boys who have gotten into big trouble for having sex with 14/15 year old girls. It's kind of sympathetic, but you have to draw the line somewhere. My own view is if they are in the same high school together, it probably shouldn't be a felony for consensual sex. But wherever you draw the line, someone is going to get caught over it and complain the the law is too strict. If you make it 13, then the 18 year old who gets caught with someone who is 13 and 11 months is going to be the victim.

Ok EVERYONE- want to know who is going to be reading this website and others?

by Newly Enlightened in

while everyone has been bickering back and forth, i decided to do something positive to move forward.

as most of you know back in jan our family marked us as apostates and started shunning us.. so i wrote to all of my congress-people and told them what is going on with the jw's.

i told them how they are breaking up families, teaching the children intolerance, etc.

Chaserious

TS is probably right to an extent, although if a member starts getting a lot of letters on the same topic or it's particularly compelling, the office might have a staff member look into it. It can't hurt to raise awareness, although I don't see how Congress could do anything about violent children's books.

Brainstorming about something that all of us would be interested in

i started to feel this kind of devotion when someone comes to the conclusion that the ultimate goal of his life is to make this cult disappear from the history.. so, i`ve been thinking, how could we yes guys, we, ordinary people complete such kind of project.. why dont we make an organization against them?

we could maintain it from donations,maybe start printing our own magazines about how they are misguiding people.we definitely should sign up for google adwords to advertise anti-jw sites.we need to draw attention on the facts that we have luckily come to know.

these are some of what crossed my mind during the recent weeks.

If you are joking about suicide bombers, don't. It's not funny.

If you are serious, I hope you will consider talking to a mental health expert.

I know it's difficult when your life is adversely affected, but don't make it your life's goal to destroy the borg. That is something that is completely beyond your control. Make it your life's goal to better yourself in spite of obstacles and to help people. If that includes helping people exit or see TTATT, that's great.
