Jim McCabe, an attorney for the congregation, said he planned to appeal the jury's decision.
"The Jehovah's Witnesses hate child abuse and believe it's a plague on humanity," McCabe told the Tribune. "Jonathan Kendrick was not a leader or a pastor, he was just a rank-and-file member. This is a tragic case where a member of a religious group has brought liability on the group for actions he alone may have taken."
i hate this statement.
the last sentance should read :
"This is a tragic case where members of a religious group have brought liability on the group for actions they alone are responsible for."
instead the lawyers statement tries to distract your attention from the fact the case was based on the POLICY THE ELDERS HAD TO NOT REPORT THIS TO THE AUTHORITYS.
they are trying to throw jonny under the bus.
jonny was just one of the many pedo's protected by the POLICY.
THE FAULT LIES IN THE GB MAKING AND INFORCING THE POLICY OF SILENCE.
