  yesterday, i posted a question for a friend in texas as to whom he should contact to report sexual abuse from the 1960s by a jw pioneer/elder who is now deceased.

  (incidentally, there are plenty of people who are still alive and in the organization who were very aware of the circumstances and who can be summoned to give testimony regarding these accusations.

  ) so, my friend called the zalkin law firm.

  It will be a very good thing when the changes are made. The old laws were there to protect the criminals..

  how things have changed!

  a childhood friend and her husband stayed with us for a few days and, except for when we went sightseeing, they spent most of their time on their digital devices viewing and listening to content from jw.borg.

  a few years back i recall a stearn warning against the use of such devices at an assembly.

  Will the U.S. Supreme Court be RIDICULED by JW lawyers?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in view of the statements below by the wtbts hierarchy, how on earth can u.s. supreme court judges possibly be conned into accepting jw lawyers' claim/defence of clergy-penitent privilege in the $35m lawsuit?.

  if you don't have a clergy, how can you have clergy-penitent privilege?

  has no one in the u.s.a. pointed out to the judiciary that they're being duped?.

  They tried to pull the clergy thing at the CARC and got themselves rapped for it. The justice said (along this line) 'you deny clergy exist in your organization now you are claiming it. You cant have it both ways.'

  Oh I would love to be in there when they face the law.

  from S.N.A.P

  zeb -- (from a snap em) quote.

  on wednesday, august 14th, new york will open a one-year, one-time-only period where victims can file lawsuits against their abusers and the institutions that harbored them, regardless of how long ago the abuse took place, and even if the statute of limitations is long expired.

  this window of opportunity is short, and may never come again.. if you were abused in new york, this one-year window of opportunity is a potential chance at justice.. make no mistake, the litigation process can be long and difficult.

  Its a pity we didnt hear more from the people concerned here. The comments by the lawyer were telling.

  We are left to guess why the judge blocked exposure of the wt files on abusers when he did.
