  Notes on Child Abuse Settlement

  by Amazing in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the article by silentlambs is somewhat misleading.

  yes, the suits were settled with gag orders.

  it is customary to do so in almost any settlement case.

  One word describes this all for me, at his point:

  am·biv·a·lence (m-bv-lns) KEY
  
  NOUN:

  1. The coexistence of opposing attitudes or feelings, such as love and hate, toward a person, object, or idea.
  2. Uncertainty or indecisiveness as to which course to follow.

  _______________________

  I will say this though, for sure:

  If a gag order was a stipulation to settle, I would have outright declined.

  What is PRO ductive in a settlement when the most important part of it all, is NOW being able to tell your story to the ones whom need and must hear it most...

  THE PUBLIC?!

  I swear, this is getting more ridiculous as each day goes by that this organization continues to be, ALLOWED BY ITS MEMBERS WHO NOW KNOW THE TRUTHS. YET STILL DO NOT PROCLAIM THEM TO THE ONES WHOM NEED TO HEAR IT THE MOST, above the rest of the world when it comes to criminal acts and downright corruption.

  Perhaps it isn't ambivalence after all.

  ALERT: All Child Abuse Lawsuits have been settled. Millions cashed out???

  re: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/116108/1.ashx.

  a bethel insider in the know told me that all of the child abuse lawsuits where the watchtower bible and tract society was one of the defendants were settled back in the beginning of this year.

  i questioned it and called napa myself and they were absolutely settled back then.

  the victims who were involved in the lawsuits for finally they are having some kind of closure in the form of money (which came from donations made to the worldwide Watchtower work).

  Shocking!

  Perhaps we should be emailing Dateline and 20/20 urging them to do a follow-up

  Done. Perhaps an email address is in order for others.

  how in the world will they ever know that the JW's settled out of court? They are so isolated

  Jw's isolated? That's a myth anymore. The way jws WILL KNOW is by the ones who come here and get the info. They are the ones who should be alerting the so-called "isolated ones".

  Go to your meetings and tell them about this YOURSELVES.

  Now we know the real reason they are selling 6 Brooklyn properties.

  LOL! Yea, Ted truly thinks no one even notices. What a hoot.

  become more effective servants of Jehovah Watchtower Book Publishing BUSINESS.

  My mom 'gave up' a very successful carreer...to pioneer for this LETHAL ROTTEN WHORE OF BABYLON.

  After discovering and uncovering that monumental amount of corruption, deception, misrepresentation and criminal activity that IS The Watchtower [ JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ] Organization, just how pathetically pitiful is THAT?

  Poor woman is going to die a very lonely and disillusioned woman.

  Good work Barbara.

  Don't miss more profiles this week on all of the 2007 heroes.

  Tomorrow Building Brighter Futures: Colleen Hitchell of Bayonne. A volunteer with Hudson County's CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), the executive assistant at AIG in Manhattan devotes countless hours to shepherding adoptions through the system for children whose cases have become mired in red tape. In just one year, Hitchell's dogged determination has resulted in happy endings for six newly adopted children and their families.

  The Betty Foley Memorial Award: Gerso Quintana of Secaucus. This district manager of customer operations at PSE&G voluntarily opens his heart and the company's customer service centers in Bayonne, Hoboken, Jersey City and Union City to those in need, collecting food, coats, toys, books and donations for worthy causes. He also mentors fellow Hispanics in the company who seek management positions, as well as members of the congregation of the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall in West New York, where he serves as an elder.

  The Mike Rowan Award: Cultivating Tomorrow's Leaders Through Athletics: Joseph Maione of Hoboken. Coach of the hockey team at St. Peter's Preparatory School in Jersey City, Maione survived a devastating double stroke two years ago, at age 33. Given just a 50-50 chance of survival, he overcame the odds, demonstrating determination and courage in his recovery to return to coaching and inspire his young players.

  Community Service: Carol Harrison-Arnold of Jersey City. An attorney who runs her own consulting firm, Harrison-Arnold has donated her time and expertise to be a driving force behind the revitalization of Astor Place and Monticello Avenue. She is also vice president of the Lincoln High School Parents Council, giving freely of her energy although she has no children attending the school.

  Newspapers in Education: Christina Polychronis of Jersey City. A Jersey City public school teacher for more than 30 years, Polychronis uses The Jersey Journal and other newspapers in her Snyder High School classroom to stimulate the creativity of her students and inspire fellow teachers. She is also active in many community service projects at the Evangelismos Greek Orthodox Church of Jersey City.

  Recap: Yesterday we profiled Christopher Hidrovo, 17, of East Newark. He shares the Teen Hero award with Mariel Teschlog. A senior at Harrison High School, Christopher competes on the football, basketball and baseball teams. Christopher also finds the time to raise funds for service projects spearheaded by the Harrison Lions Club and has volunteered to work with special needs kids at a residential summer camp.
