Yeah, I will be surprised if we don't hear that the WTS attacks this legally, and of course, that was considered in the planning process for this release.
So get your copy early!
Also, a few months ago I had to get copies of court records for my son's custody case for his daughter. There are several fees involved, and the copies ran $1 a page. Add to that the time, energy and effort involved, and it was quite an undertaking.
Now that was to get about 30 pages of court documents. The efforts involved to get this amount of documentation is Hurculean! Thanks to all. I would guess that just in copy fees alone, there are several thousand dollars here. Now add all the postage, phone calls, time, etc. You get the picture.

Yeah, I bet Bethel will be buzzing pretty soon about this. They are not going to be happy campers that all of this stuff was released by the courts.
I understand that this happens all the time in our often less than effecitve court system, that documents that are supposed to be sealed, aren't. It's just that so seldom does anyone ask for copies it really doesn't make any difference.
Hey, Service Department, here's a shout out to ya! Merton Campbell is about to be outed for having reappointed an elder over and over, while this guy was molesting what looks to be dozens of kids in the congregations.
Merton, just one question, DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT ELDERS ARE APPOINTED BY HOLY SPIRIT?
You, of all men, should know the truth about that. I would guess that, deep down inside Merton, you really do know the truth about The Truth.

I think a book of 5000-plus pages would be a bit prohibitive! Get the CD and print out what you want your dad to see. It's PDF, so easy to work with.

Yeah, the thread was pulled for a bit and then put back. Communication snafu.
One correction on my post. Most of the cases were settled in January 2007, and dismissed in February. Bill Bowen went public about them in May, though he didn't have these documents.
Hell of a graphic for that cover, eh?? Ought to grab a little attention.

I would never put BIG NEWS in the title of a thread, not for love nor money!!
What I think this will do is shed light on things the WTS likes to keep quiet and confidential. The documents provide a remarkable behind the scenes picture of how the WTS has handled pedophiles for the past 40-plus years. They name names, places and more.
I was surprised to see the names of some old friends among the documents. There will be some embarrassed Bethelites, for sure.
The cost of getting copies of court documents - thousands of dollars.
The chance to read confidential letters from elders, DOs and Service Department heavies - priceless!

Barbara Anderson has just released a new book on CD that contains some 5000 pages of public court records from the nine lawsuits involving 16 victims that the WTS settled secretly in May of this year, plus documents from two other cases the Society settled in 2000 and 2006.
It’s called Secrets of Pedophilia in an American Religion: Jehovah’s Witnesses In Crisis.
The book, and more info from Barbara about it, is available here:
www.watchtowerdocuments.com
You can buy the CD, which contains the 5000 pages of court documents along with about a 100 page commentary on the material by Barbara, all in PDF format, I think.
What makes this especially fascinating was that a good deal of this material was supposed to have been sealed and not made public, but the court failed to do that and made it available when it was requested from the court records.
So stuff the Society thought would never see the light of day is open for viewing and research, including letters from District Overseers to the Service Department regarding a notorious pedophile that the Service Department knew was abusing kids as far back as 1964, yet they reappointed him as an elder in congregation after congregation. Turns out he was abusing kids all this time, for about 30-40 years!
The records present a damning picture of the WTS trying to protect itself at the expense of victims of abuse. Barbara also provides some insightful ideas on how this all developed and where the WTS made serious mistakes in how it dealt with pedophile elders and servants.
Enjoy!

My ex is on the work crews now for RBCs, in landscaping. It helps her to have stuff to look forward to, and I think it's a way she might meet a nice bro. I hope she does. My ex deserves to be with a nice, quiet, simple JW, not one who asked questions, had to be the hot shit young elder, and who eventually thought his way out of the Borg. But really, the ex is a wonderful woman who just never thinks too deeply about anything, only she married a guy who thinks deeply about everything.
Not sure where that little rant came from. Any psychs on the board tonight??

Of all the billions of planets - why did the demons get sent to Earth?
by truthseeker insome say it is fitting that the demons were hurled down to earth because the original serpent began his rebellion against god in the garden of eden.
yet, what happened is tantamount to unlocking every prison on earth and letting murderers, rapists and evildoers go free to terrorize humanity.
the angels were aware of the effects of the expulsion of the demons and their leader - "be glad you heavens and you who reside in them.

Not sure where you live, but check your local social services organizations as soon as possible. Organizations that help people intransition, help with finding jobs, that sort of thing.
I wish you great luck as well!

I've grown a couple of goatees over the years, but end up shaving them - I am told I look better and younger without them, which is all anyone needs to hear to get rid of them!
I had several friends who left and grew, and still have, full beards. Three former brothers and one sister.
