I have had many saying they are going to send flowers. I got a call from Germany at 3:30 am. In broken english I was made to understand they wanted to send flowers in support of Erica. It is touching to see how many see this issue and want to lend support. It is a statement, the victims will no longer be ignored.

Erica's father was an elder and she was a regular pioneer. While it was threatoned, no member of her family was DF for going forward with prosecution. You must have this confused with another case. There are so many they all run together.

Erica Rodriguez is not DF or DA, as far as all are concered she is a Jehovah's Witness in good standing. She is a victim, her innocence was taken away by a man who appears to have molested multiple children. If anyone diserves support, positive comments, and not to have negative gossip, she does. It is easy to judge according to our circumstances, but unless you were molested it is difficult to comprehend the mental state of those who have undergone these things.
Lets not fight over the details. Use this space to offer kind words to Erica, she has had enough pain in her young life to last a lifetime. Let her know we understand, support her and wish her well.
I am sorry the wife of the accused married a chid molester but that does not diminish the crime and people he has harmed. I do not wish to provoke any attack on this man. It appears the courts will take care of the matter. Let them do their job. Our job is to try and help with healing and closure. This case is so sad, so many have been hurt ultimately by the actions of one man, yet an organization provided him with catalist to make the damage far greater. Why? Why? Why? The answers are yet sadder and the ramifications incomprehensible, yet here we see it is happening everywhere on a large scale. Can WT ignore this any longer? I certainly hope not.

I received the suggestion below in an email and thought it might be a nice gesture. If you would like to send flowers or cards of support to the courthouse the address is:
Adams County Courthouse
210 West Broadway
Ritzville, WA
The date of trial is August 14 through 16 as I understand it.
The email I received:
Is there any other way short of actually traveling to Ritzville, that we may show our support for Erica? However, I’d like to do something to show support that is more than just symbolic. I feel sure that many people will feel this way, so if you or we can think up some way to show support I’d be willing to do it.
Sitting here writing, I’m wondering how it would work if all Erica’s supporters sent flowers to her in care of the court all on the same day? I feel certain that many of the folks on the bb would be happy to do that if they can’t actually be present. I wonder at the testimony? I mean, the court has got to do something with the flowers, and they would be addressed to Erica, after all.

you said:
"funny.........were you there at the trial to hear the death threats?"
Yes, I heard the recorded tapes of the event. Did you?
you said:
"or were you there at the meeting to hear the heros welcome and crys and hugs....that is straight out bullshit...more so than the borg feeds..how would I know?.......becuase my immediate family was there , in fact questioned,and was there for the meeting....hardly a heros welcome...in fact he left immediately after his re-instatement"
I made absolutely no reference to the reaction at the six month reinstatement meeting. Perhaps you might want to read a little slower. I made reference to the first meeting when he returned from prision. I happened to talk with someone who was there. Were you?
"....please keep your false accuasation from polluting the cause of exposing the society...if you want names to prove myself........i could give initials of the other victims who refused to testify............nuff said"
Other victims who refused to testify? Would you care to explain why two other little children that were raped by this "brother" refused to testify?
I guess by your line of reasoning if Jeffery Dahlmer's mother had of been a witness. Brothers and sisters should have filled the courtroom to show their support of her?
I don't think so....

Kismet,
I asked three questions in my response to you. One was retorical, the other two were real questions. Why did you only respond to the retorical question?
Now you have three questions to respond to....

Kismet, you said,
"I say if there is a bethel paid lawyer there other issues are being raised than just the guilt of the molester. there is nothing in it for the society to defend someone jsut because they are/were a JW. Unless the issue of 'ecclesiatic privilege' is or has the possibility of being raised then I can not see bethel being there. If anything they will want to distance themselves from it."
You are pretty sharp and I think you are close to the reason for wt involvement. I choose to not reveal the basis for my understanding of wt involvement. I can say in other cases where wt has been involved a certain venue is followed. This script has been followed to the letter in this case. I also have hard evidence of wt involvement, I KNOW, why should I share it with you? I would not at anytime do or say anything to hurt the case. After it is over I will be able to comment more freely, until that time I prefer to let it remain as my understanding of matters. I would really prefer wt not be involved in anyway with the defense of a child molester, yet the facts speak otherwise.
I might ask a question.
If defending 'ecclesiatic privilege'allows a child molester to go free and other children to be put at risk, is there moral and ethical basis for doing so?
or let me simplify,
Could you look yourself in the mirror if you were responsible for a legal action that caused a child to be raped?
My answer to those questions put me where I am at today.

1.Three elders stood and spoke for him at sentencing, I hardly think that was in support of the mother.
2. No one silenced the death threats from the crowd of brothers and sisters at the trial. Weren't the elders in charge of the crowd? There were four there.
3.The molester was reinstated in six months two day before his daughter's wedding and walked her down the isle at the kingdom Hall, I do not recall any brothers and sister protesting this.
4.When he was released from prision he had a hero's welcome at his first meeting back with crying and hugs from everyone, again i do not think it was just to make his wife feel better.
I could name more, but just simply from the above I do not believe you.
