For what it's worth Herman Law, not taking Jehovah's Witness cases. That's what they told me yesterday, wonder why the change since they have several NY cases?

Jehovah’s Witnesses abuse scandal is a reminder to end cover-up culture | Editorial
A disturbing pattern of denial and concealment emerges across sexual abuse scandals that rock secular and religious organizations. Bringing the abuse to light is a critical first step.
The Jehovah's Witnesses world headquarters in Warwick, N.Y. Records of sexual abuse by members of the religious denomination are coming to light as part of a Pennsylvania grand jury investigation led by the state Attorney General's Office.Read moreTim Taiby The Editorial BoardUpdatedJan 3, 2023Locked inside the Jehovah’s Witnesses world headquarters are secret files detailing sexual abuse by members of the religious denomination. Some of those files are slowly coming to light thanks to a grand jury investigation by state Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office that was spurred by The Inquirer.
With Shapiro scheduled to be sworn in as Pennsylvania’s 48th governor on Jan. 17, hopefully the investigation will continue at full steam. Shapiro has been fearless in taking on influential religious institutions, starting with a 2018 grand jury report of the Roman Catholic Church that detailed decades of sexual abuse by more than 300 priests in Pennsylvania.

The Catholic Church has faced perhaps the most intense scrutiny for the widespread sexual abuse across the country, around the world, and leading straight to the Vatican. But in the 20 years since the abuse and systematic cover-ups were first uncovered, it is painfully clear the Catholic Church doesn’t hold a monopoly on these horrific crimes.
ADVERTISEMENTSimilar sexual abuse scandals have recently rocked other religious organizations. The Justice Department is investigating the Southern Baptist Convention. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known as the Mormon church, reportedly diverted calls to its abuse hotline away from law enforcement, leaving victims vulnerable. An independent investigation found scores of sexual abuse cases at Jewish summer camps.
The abuse is also not limited to religious organizations. Last year, the Boy Scouts of America agreed to pay $850 million to settle sexual abuse cases involving 60,000 men and stretching back decades. USA Gymnastics and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee agreed to pay $380 million to hundreds of female gymnasts who said they were abused by the former team doctor of the national gymnastics team.
While each case is different, there are troubling parallels. A person in authority uses their position to take advantage of vulnerable children, teens, or in some cases adults. When the sexual abuse is brought to the attention of those in charge, there is an effort to cover it up, deny wrongdoing, and discredit the accuser.
In the case of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, The Inquirer first documented a pattern of secrecy surrounding abuse allegations in 2018. From there, the Attorney General’s Office launched an investigation.
» READ MORE: For Jehovah's Witnesses, an insular culture and archaic rules have created a 'recipe for child abuse.'
In October, four Jehovah’s Witnesses were charged with sexual abuse of 19 people who were all minors, including some victims who were relatives. Perhaps just as disturbing, the investigation found Witnesses leaders were aware of the abuse but did nothing.
In one instance, one of the men charged in October confessed to a committee of Witnesses elders that he had “affairs” with at least nine children in 1998. The confession was part of the secret files maintained at the Jehovah’s Witnesses headquarters outside of New York City.
But rather than report the abuse to law enforcement authorities, the Witnesses leaders tried to cover it up while the sexual predator remained in their midst. That has been part of the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ playbook going back decades.
The Inquirer obtained a 1989 memo that instructed elders not to cooperate if police ever showed up with a search warrant. A 1997 memo advised elders not to tell congregations about any known sexual predators, leaving parents unaware and children vulnerable.
The organization issued a statement in 2020 that said, “Any suggestion that Jehovah’s Witnesses foster or enable abuse is false.”
Similar denials have been issued by other religious organizations before. Those with information about abuse would be wise to try a higher authority and call the attorney general’s special hotline at 888-538-8541.

If that did happen, it was a remarkable comeback for him to work his way onto the GB.
Knorr was running a business.Guess Knorr saw ability in Ted, and wanted a good return on his investment, so put Ted back in the saddle after a few months off.'In July 1946, at the age of 20, Ted graduated from the seventh class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead'Unlike other GB members stories, Melita Jaracz and Audrey (Knorr) Hyde wrote their husbands LIFE STORY; wonder if she knew why he came back to the USA?LIFE STORYA Satisfying Life Despite HeartachesAS TOLD BY AUDREY HYDEp 407 w/pic -

Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsToo shortReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2019Expected it to be longer and have more details. Not worth the price, in my opinion.Short, but good tidbits in her book. page 34.- Lloyd Barry was sent by Knorr to investigate Jaracz. Knorr did the same thing as the Catholic Bishops model did. Reuse them out of State or Country. Knorr writes Jaracz if he gets married, he'd get to be a CO.p30'One particularly nasty secret concerned personal instructions sent out in 1992 from one of the Governing Body members, who Harry was certain was Ted Jaracz, to a few very well-known circuit and district overseers to meet with and compel abuse victims to remain silent about their abuse or be disfellowshipped.''In 1951, Jaracz was sent to the Australian Branch to become the branch overseer, and, at that time, Lorraine Wallen told me, he was the youngest man holding such an important position. Shortly after Jaracz was shipped off to Australia, and, according to family, Melita pined away for him and decided to fly down to Aussieland to ‘pursue him.’She was warned that she could get in a lot of trouble ‘chasing’ a man like she was doing, but she did it anyway and eventually got her man, marrying him in 1956 as soon as he arrived back in the United States.His removal as branch overseer in Australia, clouded by secrecy, took place after only five years in that special assignment. Six months later, the Jaraczs were in the circuit work in California.'level 3Was this in California? Was it someone named Erica? I'm researching this. Please send me a direct message if you are not comfortable writing about it publicly. Thank you in advance.

'Witnesses told FOX31 Denver that a person had fired a gun in the parking lot at a member of the Jehovah’s Witness congregation and tried to throw an item “similar in appearance to a pipe bomb” into the building on Christmas morning.'

'Pipe bombs' tend to be preplanned. Likely a suicide note was made, telling all, which police don't tend to release.

'Occult accusations of sex abuse and torture
In another incident during field service, a witness claimed that all the Swisher boys that included Greg Swisher, Jeramy Swisher and Shawn Swisher would “brush against girls’ breasts with their elbows or shoulders.” The affidavit claimed Shawn Swisher was the worst.
The affidavit includes allegations from a 16-year-old victim who was delivering packages to Swisher’s home. The victim recalled standing in Swisher’s doorway, then seeing Swisher with what looked like a needle, and finally lying on their back while being raped in the living room.
The victim stated that Swisher’s father, Gordon Swisher, was in his recliner watching while Swisher raped the victim. The affidavit stated that the victim “focused on the window with the light coming through the blinds,” while being attacked. After the assault, Swisher “threw [redacted] out like garbage.”
In a zoom meeting that included other elders, Swisher was confronted by the victim but denied all accusations stating he never touched, hurt or raped the victim, per court documents.
Another victim accused Swisher of being part of an occult that took place at a house located in the 300 block of Brook Lane in Turkey Rock in Teller County. At different times of the year, the occult would allegedly get together to torture and sexually abuse victims, according to the affidavit.
A victim stated that Swisher became the ring leader in 2002 and continued the tradition of regularly raping victims. The victim also listed two others in the congregation that were part of the occult.'
