'2. Plaintiff’s allegations against Defendants MAKAHA, HAWAII CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES, MAKAHA CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES, KINGDOM HALL, AND WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, INC., (“Church Defendants”) were dismissed by stipulation following a settlement of the Plaintiff’s claims against the Church Defendants on or about January 30, 2023'

'The plaintiff's claims against Apana and the church were resolved through a confidential settlement, but she then proceeded to trial on her damages claims against Apana.'
"other elders discouraged the plaintiff from reporting the sexual abuse to police'...
After this, church elders continued to dissuade the plaintiff's family from reporting the sexual abuse, telling them to "move on."

A spokesperson with the Jehovah's Witnesses issued the following statement to KITV4 about the settlement:
“Out of respect for the privacy of all involved, we do not comment on the specific allegations involving victims of abuse. However, we note that the judgment was against Mr. Apana, the person who perpetrated the abuse. Jehovah's Witnesses condemn the repugnant actions of anyone who victimizes children. Further, elders in our faith comply with reporting laws and do not discourage victims or their families from reporting abuse to the police.”
'elders do not discourage victims or their families from reporting abuse to the police.' - it wasn't always that way, that's only recent!

Visitors always looked at the charts to compare with their own cong.
Circuit Overseers always did that, at the 1st meeting, comparing the cong. hours with the average of our circuit.
Then one year, someone at Bethel read the Bible and understood it.

Didn't scream to me at the Service meeting, but was fascinated and intrigued at the same time of all those attention getting numbers. Was 4 or 5 around 1960 and remember saying to myself, 'Wow, this is a business.'

a pennsylvania grand jury investigating child sexual abuse among jehovah’s witnesses has charged another five people with raping or molesting children as young as 4 years old.. the indictments friday are the latest charges in an ongoing probe that has identified 14 suspects.. state attorney general michelle henry says that while the misconduct dates back years or even decades, “the trauma endures for these victims.”.
Highlights of article:
'One elder warned Brooks that if she contacted police, she would bring “reproach” on Jehovah’s name, according to a lawsuit that she filed in June in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court against the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, the Witnesses’ leadership.'
“We bought a shredder,” one York elder told others, according the lawsuit, “and headquarters has told us to shred.”
Brooks’ lawsuit accuses Witness elders of destroying many of the records of her case — and of ignoring Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Law, which requires leaders of churches or religious organizations to report suspected child abuse to authorities.
Brooks, who is now 35, wants the organization’s leaders to face accountability.
Fritz said Brooks is trying to spur changes within the organization “to protect all children from sexual abuse that festers in the secrecy that the organization encourages.”
“A lot of these elders don’t even realize what they’re doing is wrong,” Brooks said. “I would like the people involved to get to the point where they understand, ‘Holy crap, what did we do?’ and come to terms with that.”

'Child sexual abuse in particular is a twisted act of evil.'
It's such a 'twisted act of evil' we keep quiet and warn no one.
'The Jehovah’s Witnesses U.S. branch emailed a statement saying it was not permitted to comment on specific grand jury investigations but added,
“The news of someone being sexually abused, whether a child or an adult, sickens us.
Child sexual abuse in particular is a twisted act of evil.
That is why, for decades, Jehovah’s Witnesses have gone to great lengths to educate and warn parents through our publications, meetings, and website about how to protect their children in a variety of circumstances.
We also are quick to support and offer pastoral care to those affected, while working to ensure that unrepentant perpetrators are removed from the congregation. Anyone who has been victimized has the full support of the congregation to report the matter to the authorities.”

Author’s Note: The following is a speech I was scheduled to deliver today at the Liberty and Health Alliance TRUE LIBERTY CONFERENCE in Phoenix, Arizona. An unexpected family matter prevented me from attending, so I am publishing the speech here so that conference attendees (and our broader readership) will be able to read and listen to it at their leisure. Many of our readers will note that it contains reflections I’ve posted in previous columns. However, the speech also contains additional exposition and interpretation.
Babylon the Great and the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex: A Biblical Interpretation of the COVID-19 Vaccine FiascoIn a cave on the Greek island of Patmos, JOHN had his nightmarish Revelation (Greek: Apocalypse) of the end of the world. Most vivid and frightening is his vision of Four Horsemen who are unleashed on the earth. The first is mounted on a white horse, armed with a bow, and adorned with a crown. He apparently represents Pestilence. The second is mounted on a red horse and armed with a sword. He is thought to represent Civil War. The third, who apparently represents Famine, rides a black horse and carries a scale. Upon the fourth horse is mounted a pale and gaunt figure who represents Death.
John was apparently exiled to Patmos by Roman authorities because he preached the Christian faith, which was proscribed and heavily persecuted under the reigns of Nero and his successors in the 1st century AD. Historians think he was sent packing to the desolate island under Domitian (81-96). However, in John’s reflections on the depravity of Roman rule, he seems to have been thinking mostly about Nero, who ordered cruel and sadistic persecutions of the Christian congregation in Rome after the Great Fire of 64.
Tacitus and Suetonius claimed that Nero himself set fire to the city because he (an aesthete) thought the old buildings were shabby, and he wanted an excuse to rebuild them. Tacitus went as far as claiming that Nero wanted to burn down the city to re-found it and name it Neropolis. It’s tough to say if the accounts of Tacitus and Suetonius were based on solid evidence or anti-Nero propaganda, given that the Emperor was hated by many of his Roman contemporaries, including the influential writer, Pliny the Elder.
According to Tacitus, Nero blamed the catastrophe on the obscure sect of people living in the city. They were, he claimed, a superstitious bunch who committed abominations in their communion rite of eating of the body and drinking of the blood of their crucified man-god. To punish them for their alleged arson, he ordered them burned alive.
That John of Patmos was thinking about Nero finds support in Revelation verse 13:16-18, which reads: “This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.” The Greek name “Nero Caesar” translated into Hebrew is NRON QSRN, which adds up (in the gematria numerological system) to six hundred and sixty-six. John understood that the Roman imperial administration was immensely organized and powerful, with disciplined legions that could swiftly reach anywhere in the world and destroy any group of men who opposed their rule. However, as he saw it, this great earthly power was not guided by wisdom, truth, and goodness, but by an insatiable desire for aggrandizement and total domination of all people.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about John and his Revelation. An especially notable passage is 18:23.
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
The angel who utters this verse is referring to Babylon, alternately called Mystery Babylon and Babylon the Great—a powerful commercial city that is personified by a beguiling harlot (prostitute).
Many scholars have suggested that Babylon is a veiled reference to the city of Rome—the seat of world power and commerce in John’s time. Regardless of whether he was referring to the ancient city of Babylon or the contemporary city of Rome, it’s clear the city is a place in which POWER and MONEY are worshipped. Likewise, because men were enthralled by worldly goods and luxuries, they became subjects of the great merchants of Bayblon and were “deceived by their sorceries.” It's a notable fact that John uses the Greek word PHARMAKEIA, which seems to mean both “sorcery” and “deceitful action.”
This brings us to our current situation, in which the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex has achieved dominion over mankind with its deceitful claims of vanquishing all disease and death with an ever-growing arsenal of vaccines. During the pandemic, I often marveled at how virtually every country on earth immediately fell into lockstep with the same response—that is, suppress early treatment of the illness while fervently embracing the heralded COVID-19 vaccine as a panacea.
When the COVID-19 vaccines were released at the end of 2020, they were pushed with the greatest propaganda campaign in history. Soon the shot became, in the minds of millions, an object of veneration and salvation, thereby establishing something closely akin to a new religion.
The promise of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine seemed to cast a spell over the minds of millions. People seemed enchanted by it, and this enchantment was relentlessly amplified by the deceitful propaganda campaign that made false promises of the vaccine’s efficacy, and systematically obscured a growing list of harms it could inflict on the people who received it.
And so, we see that John’s use of the Greek word PHARMAKEIA—meaning both sorcery and deceit—now seems strangely apt. Perhaps the strangest moment in this bizarre story occurred last year, when Vatican City issued a 20 Euro silver coin. As the Numista Catalogue described it:
The coin depicts a doctor, a nurse and a young person who is ready to receive the vaccine. The Holy Father has repeatedly stressed the importance of vaccination, recalling that healthcare is a moral obligation, and it is important to continue efforts to immunize even the poorest peoples.
Note that the formulation, "a young person who is ready to receive the vaccine” is identical to the formulation for a communicant “who is ready to receive the host.” When I saw this, I wondered who wrote the catalogue copy. Was it the Philatelic and Numismatic Office of the Vatican City State?
The obverse of the coin bears the name Franciscus, the year 2022 (“Anno MMXXII”) and the Coat of Arms of Pope Francis. Again, we see how many have placed something akin to religious faith in the COVID-19 vaccines, which are conceived as the Savior of Mankind. With this commemorative silver coin, issued in the name of Francis, the Pope officially endorsed the COVID-19 vaccines and bestowed upon them his sublime authority and prestige.
The fact that the Vatican chose to commemorate the COVID-19 vaccine in such stark religious terms—with a silver coin—again reminded me of John’s Revelation, in which Babylon is depicted as great commercial city. For centuries, silver coins were a primary medium of commercial exchange. The silver coin reminds us of the Roman silver denarius presented to Jesus by the Pharisee who asks him, "Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" As we know, the question was a trap laid for Jesus to get him into trouble with the Roman tax authority. In his response, Jesus touched on the vital distinction between temporal and spiritual authority—a distinction the Vatican badly muddled with its COVID-19 vaccine commemorative coin.
The commemorative coin also reminds me of Pfizer’s Viagra PR campaign. Pfizer initially developed the drug to treat high blood pressure and angina pectoris. However, as the company discovered in clinical trials, the drug was better at inducing erections than managing angina. And so, Pfizer repurposed the substance for erectile dysfunction and launched a massive, global PR campaign—including seeking moral approval from Pope John Paul II. The company’s clever marketing people persuaded him that Viagra would strengthen marriages and aid in procreation.
And so, I’ll conclude by posing a provocative question: Could it be that Pfizer and the rest of the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex are a manifestation of Babylon the Great—the corrupt commercial entity to which John referred in his Revelation?
