  What About A Class Action Lawsuit For Emotional Harm From Secret Kangaroo Courts Orcestrated By The Watchtower Coporation

  by Humphry in

  2. beliefs

  i think malice and outright fraud can be proved very easily, and what about 1st amendment violations and chilling free speech to warn friends and family about the fraud and abusiveness of this corporation.

  information that needed to be passed on to loved ones but cut off by shunning imposed by an announcement of so and so have been found guilty by a secret committee of men appointed by the wt corp. to do it's dirty work of silencing critics of the corporation.

  maybe the whistle blower laws can be evoked.. i'm just throwing this out there on the net to stimulate some kind of thinking about the possibilities maybe not even a class action but perhaps a couple of people heavily harmed by this way past its expiration date abusing mind control cult and its totally phony judicial system to keep members under their evil control.. to start things off and then latter a class action..

  At least in the US and Canada it would be impossible to sue. As both of their supreme courts have ruled that a civil court cannot intervene within the internal discipline or membership of a religion or a private organization.

  Watchtower appeals in Montana.

  by lastmanstanding in

  2. child-abuse

  i won’t steal barb’s thunder, but has anyone had a chance to peruse the appeal that watchtower launched yesterday?.

  watchtower’s main argument is that stuff was said in confidence with confidentiality surrounding that confidence and they are confident that clergy confidentiality which is in confidence is confidential.. in short, it ‘was a secret and should stay a secret.’.

  omg.. and watchtower claims that this verdict “violates the constitution of the usa”.. i wish the jury could tack on another $50m and include watchtower lawyers are to be hanged.. i just had to say something.

  Again please tell me how a child who was molested by a non JW would bring reproach. It wouldn't. It is because the spiritual counseling that elders offer is supposed to be confidential only for those authorized to that information. And Watchtower has said repeatedly through the ARC just remove the privilege and it will make their job easier and there is no longer any privilege.

  A plethora number of lawsuits. Like 20. And please present actual evidence. Just like in this case the jury didn't believe that the first report was made.

  Even the ARC if you actually look at the information 20% involved either unbaptized publishers or non-JW. That is why I don't believe it when people say that JWs don't report to keep Jehovah's name pure. How would that smear their reputation?

  Even Watchtower in the Montana Case talks about how they contacted the state child services to confirm that they were in compliance of the law in the future.

  If you are abused you certainly need to hold someone accountable but you need to hold the right person accountable not just the person who has money that you can sue.

  And people here have that ability too.

  I was thinking about the mother's testimony during this trial about how she turned her daughter over to her mother and stepfather because she felt that the elders did the right thing and that it was her duty to trust the elders. But when questioned about if she did everything that the elders told her to do at that time it was a no. So it was i did what the elders told me to do when it is convenient and not when it isn't

  If they don't have a clergy class then they weren't mandatory reporters and couldn't be sued. You can't have it both ways.

  There are two governing laws under the mandatory reporting exception rule.

  1. is for the confession of someone.

  2. is the confidential communication that takes place within a religion. If the religions normal procedure is to keep a matter confidential that is the requirement.

  Confidentiality doesn't mean 1 person. As spoken of earlier a lawyer can communicate with colleagues without the privilege or confidential communication being lifted. I would even take it further. Let's say you sue someone with a lawyer's help. While preparing for the case the lawyer will interview witnesses and gather evidence. When he is interviewing witnesses he may speak about what his client told him. Does that mean that the attorney-client privilege is lifted? Or while deposing the defendant the lawyer asks questions based on what his client told him, would that remove the privilege?

  The other argument is that during the punitive stage that the plaintiff's attorney wanted the jury to look at the JWs religious beliefs which have been ruled unconstitutional because no civil court can determine if a religious belief is correct or valid.

  And the other arguments is that the mother of Alexis had the knowledge and responsibility to prevent her daughter from being molested by the stepfather. That twice child services investigated and twice no charges were brought. So the proximate cause of injury for Alexis was that of her mother turning her over to the stepfather.

  New Watchtower president

  by neat blue dog in

  the main corporation is two words "watch tower" society of pennsylvania.

  don adams took over for milton henschel in 2000 when the governing body cut all corporate ties, and when he died robert ciranko took over for him in 2014.. the next major corporation in line is the one word "watchtower" society of new york.

  the jw's first black corporate president, leon weaver jr., was president of this one up until recently.

  Problems that exist with the Australian Redress Scheme for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse.As it stands now.

  i was listening to an overnight abc radio broadcast with rod quin ?in the early hours of the morning 14/3/19.

  and with him was a guest of the labour party of newcastle nsw ,sorry her name escapes me.. and some issues were raised that i never knew of, that survivors might have .hopefully i can articulate them here as i understand it.

  and remember it ....we all know the trauma that a child will go through with being abused and some will go off the rails because of that and commit some crimes of their own maybe in their teen years .. anybody who has committed a crime and spent time in jail can not take part in the redress scheme.

  I do actually wonder how many Watchtower would be on the hook for under the Scheme. I was reading the rules on the schemes' public website. It seems to indicate that it had to be a non-family member and during an official institutional activity, on institution property or from an institutional leader. Just going through the numbers in Case 29 I really don't think it would be many.

  How to sue the WT over shunning policy. It CAN happen!

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a very good document from a law school exploring religious freedom vs an individuals right to religious freedom without blackmail, pressure, etc, and also explores why certain lawsuits did not win and what it would take to win them.

  https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=3827&context=penn_law_review.

  a person born in, and whose parents or family pressured to shun because they simply left the religion, who has evidence of damages, etc, would likely have a good case if they find a good lawyer.
