are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?
@Iincognito A further question is; why do you continue to defend an organization which clearly shows it has no interest in protecting or at least assisting in the protection of the most vulnerable within the congregation?
My question is, how exactly has the organization clearly shown no interest in protecting or assisting in the protection of children?

@sir82 You have no idea what her lawyers advised her. You know nothing about anything about her.
Funny you posting this on this forum. Isn't
this what this forum is all about? Speculation, judging things one has no idea
about, twisting truths and implying wrong motives? How does it feel?
Who really knows? Maybe you should tell the others on here to copy that text, and tape it to their foreheads.

But Watchtower claims to be different from "every strata of society." Remember, JWs are "no part of the world," and there is supposed to be a "spiritual paradise" in the organization, a place of "special protection and safety" from the evils of this world, according to Watchtower.
These
child molestation cases are proving that sexual molest of children,
which exist in society in general, also exist among Jehovah's Witnesses.
This shows that Watchtower is no better than the world it condemns.
There are also adulterers, fornicators, liars and the like in Congregations. But guess what, no one can control what you do, it is up to individuals to apply Bible principles and not do these things. Some lead a double life for a while, before they are found out, but once they are found out to be practicing these things they are disfellowshipped and no longer JWs.

@ Berrygerry, I am no lawyer, but as I understand it Conti settled for an undisclosed amount She had 30 days to appeal, and she did not. Every new appeal costs money. She was at risk of losing it all, and no doubt this is what her lawyer would have advised her. If she had appealed and lost, she would have ended up in debt!

@Scenic Viewer Actually, it looks like Watchtower is done with it. Watchtower has said there is no unfavorable court ruling they wouldn't appeal. Watchtower had started an appeal in this case but for some reason did an about face. I have a feeling the appeals attorneys that Watchtower was using knew they weren't going to win and convinced Watchtower to end it
That's not how it was at all. WT DID appeal the lower courts ruling. It was now up to Candace to appeal. She did not and went in for a settlement.

This poster on Topix summed the whole case up perfectly. I quote:
"The plaintiffs settled before the California Supreme Court had a chance
to look at it. The settled amount would have most assuredly have been
less than 2.8 million. That was the number they would have had to pay
worst case scenario had their appeal failed.
I believe the
plaintiffs capitulated because it was likely that the Supreme Court
would have reversed the negligence portion of the judgment (had the
supreme court reviewed the case). The plaintiffs built a case on the
premise of a sinister "policy of secrecy". Therefore the WT spent most
of their resources defending against that premise.(The appeals court
affirmed that the policy of confidentially was reasonable and inline
with most organizations).
Had the lower court ruled properly
about the so-called "policy of secrecy" then the WT could have spent
most of their resources defending themselves against the negligence
portion of the lawsuit. Namely did the WT ever assign Kendrick to work
alone with Candace in field service. And that is the ONLY thing the jury
should have decided instead of a policy that the plaintiffs grossly
misrepresented.
Also the experts mistakenly told the jury that
the elders were mandated reporters. That was not true and unjustly
prejudiced the defendants".

Looks like she is done with it.
