You're right BOTR, it is sheer madness to award default judgement. Sheer madness on the part of the WTBTS to put themselves in this position and who are supposed to respect higher authorities. Let's see them twist that scripture around in the coming years, obviously from their standpoint it doesn't apply to God's earthly organization, just individuals.
It is incredulous of this organization to behave in the manner it has. To think of the number of articles they have been printing lately about JWs attitude towards elders and to overlook any and every misdeed and not to seek justice. They continue to push everything under the carpet and hope it goes away. This may happen in a number of cases but not everyone is so gullible.
The WTBTS has come a long way, from litigation in support of human rights to the deliberate efforts of undisclosure obstructing the rights of individuals in excercising their rights.
Barbara, thank you for your report. I was wondering what the conclusion actually means? -
"CONCLUSION - For the foregoing reasons, the Plaintiff asked the Court to award terminating and monetary sanctions."
You've had so much forsight in regards to the WTBTS and child abuse, if only the GB had truelly been wise and taken on your advice years ago, so much damage could have been avoided.
