Key excerpt:
It also follows on the heels of last week's astounding $28 million jury verdict in favor of an Oakland, Calif., woman who was sexually molested as a child by a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, whose national policy was to keep sex-abuse allegations secret.
30 minutes ago i just got off the phone with some important players in this case, and some things were relayed to me concerning a lot of details of the outcome of the last two days of court.
i am passing this on.
cynthia hampton, one of the main players in the candace conti case (and a close friend of 28 years), just informed me of a further, far more powerful move by the state of california against the watch tower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. by order of the superior court of the state of california - county of alameda (see documents below), until the watch tower's appeal, which won't begin until august 13th and will take up to two years to settle due to due process of law, has forbidden the watch tower to sell any more of its $1 billion in assets in the borough of brooklyn until the appeals case is finished, to assure they won't shelter their monies in the light of this most huge and devastating sexual abuse scandal ever to hit the watch tower society, and perhaps any other single-victim lawsuit.
This means that if you scroll down through Jehovah's Witnesses you will run into the bad PR no matter what.

Any bad news that gets established into the perception of the public domain becomes exaggerated. WHY? Because Jehovah's Witnesses go door to door the public would NEVER allow a Catholic priest to proselyte door to door among non Catholics after their big child abuse pedophile scandal.They may not even tolerate Nuns doing it. JW have a LOT at stake on their reputation they cannot shrug this off as 'persecution' nothing noble about child abuse it stinks to high heaven. Quote from Watchtower's latest summer convention PR as of 1 hour ago: "" Throughout the United States, there will be 385 conventions in 103 cities. Worldwide, there are over 7,600,000 Witnesses in more than 109,000 congregations.""
There is no way to corroborate the 7,600,000 figure as these are SELF-REPORTING statistics,nevertheless the bigger you are the harder you fall. The RCC has 850,000,0000 and are more likeable charitable and they have had to pay out $2 billion in abuse damages so far.
Last but not least,what about GOD's feelings? Does GOD matter to the Watchtower?
Jehovah’s Witnesses promotion of their Watchtower sect has the net effect of stumbling and turning people off to the real Gospel.
Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte; and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves” (Matt 23:15)
if i understand the documents correctly, the judge's decision froze all watchtower's real property ($1 billion) pending further notice.
see if that's what you understand.
what you'll read as follows is copied by me right out of the documents.. barbara.
Lets call this phase two it's like the UN freezing a dictators assets
This is the BIGGEST news adverse to the Watchtower since the advent of the Internet and Ray Franz COC
This is HUGE very exciting

I will bump with this comment.
How rich? The Watchtower Bible tract Society may have up to $200 billion in worldwide mostly tax free real estate assets. Billions of dollars in assets they are indeed fabulously wealthyThere is nothing wrong with being a billionaire.It's how the Watchtower got all those billions by 'encouraging' followers like my extended family to give them our money because Armageddon was coming any minute (what amounted to my inheritance retirement savings) it really is 'fraud for God'. Thinks about this when Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking on your door with subscriptions for 'everlasting life'.

GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) - Church members held a man until deputies arrived after they said he stabbed his wife while she was attending a bible study Thursday.
Greenville County deputies said they were called to Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses at 1400 Old Spartanburg Rd. about 2:15 p.m. where they found church members holding 46-year-old Leonard Edwards Jr. in the sanctuary and his wife lying on the floor with a stab wound to the back.
Church members told deputies that Edwards arrived at the church while his wife was attending a bible study and asked for her to come out of the church, which she did.
His wife immediately ran back inside with Edwards chasing after her carrying a knife, deputies said. They said he knocked her down and stabbed her in the back before the members could stop and detain him.
Edwards was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Deputies said additional charges were pending and he will have a bond hearing later Thursday.

So, when did Phillip Garrido first join the WatchTower Cult?IT IS BELIEVED THAT PHILLIP GARRIDO FIRST STARTED ATTENDING A KINGDOM HALL OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES SOMETIME IN THE EARLY 1970s -- possibly even as early as 1969-70, when Garrido was only 19-20 years old. Garrido either attended the Brentwood, California Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Oakley, California Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, or both, at various times
Updated companion thread tying in more

It was well known in the abusive Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses Rockland Massachusetts that any brother riding with the 'sisters' in the car group would be sexually harassed.I financially set up my 16 y.o. brother to be a regular auxiliary pioneer and the 'sisters' brutally sexually degraded him he was under age so it was illegal.
The poor kid was severely traumatized and stumbled.I will NEVER forgive the Rockland Massachusetts Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses they are eternally damned!
Watchtower spies are you reading this?
