  Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.

  the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.

  the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

  Thank you Barbara.

  My family has been personally affected by this policy and it's high time attention is brought to this obvious problem.

  A couple I once knew said that their house had been demonized by a bean pot they bought a garage sale. (Hmm I didn't know deemunz liked beans)

  Another lady said she though her newly built home had been demonized by stuff she bought at Goodwill because a light fixture came undone from the ceiling, so she threw out (sparlocked) everything she'd ever bough from goodwill. (Oh yes it must have been deemunz and not the shitty workmanship of the on the cheap contractors she hired.)

  Beware of Sparlock! Pay No Attention To The Pedophiles Behind The Curtain!

  by DT in

  isn't it ironic that the governing body saw fit to produce a child's video warning about the dangers of plastic toys while trying to cover up the danger of sexual predators in their kingdom halls?.

  even the theme to listen, obey and be blessed only reinforces the kind of culture that allows the abuse of children to go unnoticed for years.. the callous disregard for children is mind boggling.. i suspect that the governing body knew that there could be some expensive settlements coming up and rushed the production of the ill advised sparlock video to try to squeeze a few more donations out of the rank and file while they still have a chance.

  they probably didn't take time to consider that it would only add to their troubles and expose their hypocrisy.. .

  I'm not however I know quite a few who are, and it sickens me; most of them are great people and deserve to be happy but aren't allowed to have that “apparent luxury”.

  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though, some days I swear the sole purpose of the WTBT$ is to suck every ounce of happiness from it’s members.

  watch tower pennsylvania corporation balance sheet .

  today i added a new article to my blog addressing a dated and signed statement by the watch tower corporation of its financial worth.

  this information is provided for benefit of a jury that has already found in favor of a single plaintiff to the tune of 7-million us dollars and will today be asked to consider whether punitive damages should be added to its finding for the plaintiff.

  You look nice today sister ______, it's too bad jehovah doesn't care what we look like.

  AND

  You look tired, isn't it great jehovah doesn't care about appearances.

  I’m no kidding! It was everything I could do to choke back the words "Could you be more condescending and insulting?"

  Unfortunately this is normal, the cult has worked hard to callous over your fellow feeling, trust in mankind and human concern.

  It may take sometime but eventually that callus will soften and then vanish.

  In or out your faith in man will become normal if you don't give up and continue resisting the wash-towel programming.

  Which Governing Body Member Did Works Greater Than The Apostles?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we are carefully guided with the printed resources of the watchtower to come to the conclusion, the governing body are jesus christ's brothers who are taking the lead over his domestics.

  throughout the world, there might be annointed members that are living their life the way of the self-less christians of the first few centuries.. which member of the governing body has endured the foretold punishment and martyerdom, members of the great crowd and apostles have suffered by giving up their lives?

  examples in poland, russia, africa, and other banned countries.
