Bump. Don't give up guys, according to this article from last year there were thousands in attendance.. What's this about there being two weekends, anyway? [okay, apparently there was a convention there 14th-16th June, wonder if he spoke at that one as well?] "when 4,500 of them arrive in Evansville each of the next two weekends" and "Evansville's largest annual convention when over the next two weekends some 9,000 Jehovah's Witnesses from Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.." http://www.courierpress.com/news/2012/jun/14/no-headline---ev_jehovah/

Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!
by goatshapeddemon inso, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!
first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.
he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.

"..the other key issue is why the Church failed to respond at the time to the claims of victims. The list of failings is extensive - and it reads the same in the United State, in Europe and in Ireland: the failure to reportabuseto the Police; the failure to remove offending priests; the practice of moving offenders on to other places; misjudgements around the nature and response to paedophilia; failure to impose penalties; an over reliance on legal advice, and protecting the reputation of the Church, often ahead of the needs of victims." http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2013/06/24/3788319.htm

In case what I said in my last post makes no sense to others who are reading only THIS thread (don't think it does without quoting his post), I was referring to Ryan's post on the thread that he started on beliefnet.. "There's two very simple reasons why the elders didn't initiate police involvement. 1. This incident took place well before January 1, 1997 when religious leaders were declared mandated reporters ("professionals" applicableto child abuse reporting laws). 2. There were other competent adults involvedwith first hand knowledge. Read the “Day two” jury trial transcript: Mr. Schnack: "And you saidyou did not report it to the police when she told you?" Evelyn Kendrick: "Not initially." Mr. Schnack: "Okay. Why not?" Evelyn Kendrick: "I thought it was an isolated incident. I thought maybe because he had been drinking. I wanted to try to save my marriage. And so I called the elders instead thinking that they could help us out." Under what constitutional or legal arrangement did the elders have to impose on the liberties of Evelyn Kendrick if she chose not to go to the authorities at the time the elders were notified of her family situation? If she wanted the authorities involved at that time, she would have pursued this course of action. After all, she had known about this matter for four months prior to the elder's being contacted." http://community.beliefnet.com/go/thread/view/43851/29365013/What_Part_did_Gary_Abrahamson_Play_in_the_Candace_Conti_Court_Case?pg=1

@RYAN-- Ah, now I see where you're coming from.. So, if you had been in the same position as these elders, you would have put the wishes of a woman (who perhaps feared the breakdown of her marriage) in an emotionally difficult position to not immediately report to the police, before the potential safety of the children in your flock?
