Lawsuit Settlement Amounts
by Richard Oliver ini have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.
i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.
how do people like barbara anderson or jwsurvey or jwfacts come up with this number?

Incredulously, by mistake, one California court actually sent me court-sealed settlement papers which revealed that the Watch Tower paid out $781,250 to one victim. Multiplying this figure by 16 victims, the total was an even $12,500,000.
from silentlambs.org
In 2007 seventeen victims received an average of $750,000 each in a legal battle that took six years for them to finally pay up.
Jehovah’s Witnesses Pay *$2,000,000+ to Gag Abuse Victim
They even admit that it is only an estimate but they claim it is based on previous settlements, but no one knows what the previous settlements are.
From JWfacts.org
In 2007, the Watchtower settled 16 child abuse cases, with a total payout estimated to have been $13 million dollars.
So is it that everyone just goes off of the unsubstantiated report by Barbara Anderson and it just keeps going and going. even on this site you can find plenty of references to a 12.5 million dollar settlement for 13 plantiffs.

Yes outlaw. Questioning someone who states something as an absolute fact to show proof how dare I.

How do people like Barbara Anderson or JWSurvey or JWFacts come up with this number? It was a sealed number is this just pure speculation and what you hope it cost. The Fessler final settlement was sealed but there were reports that the initial offer was about $150K, the Lopez initial settlement offer was 66K, according to court documents. So how do you come up with these numbers?

Major changes to convention security beginning in 2017
by Edison Trent inshort info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.
festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.
all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

This is going to be a pretty easy one to confirm or not confirm. If people report it happening to a number of sites including at assembly hall sites then it is an organisational directive if not it is probably specific to the site and what the management of that site requires to rent out space.

This is probably based on the requirements set out by the venue that the convention is being held at.

Two witness rule.
by biblexaminer ini advocate this line of questioning against watchtower's policy.. 1) ask watchtower's lawyers for the number of on-file cases of sexual molestation of a minor within watchtower's records.. (if watchtower's lawyers refuse to give the exact number, then inquire if the number is "too large to count" and make sure that this statement, "a number too large to count" is repeated enough times so as to establish 'a life of its own'.
it should then be established, using ample watchtower literature, that watchtower keeps accurate records of the entire number of publishers, pioneers, auxiliary pioneers, elders, congregations, kingdom halls, assembly halls and a myriad other things on an ongoing basis throughout the entire organization worldwide and present this as a dichotomy).
2) ask watchtower lawyers for the number, even 1, of cases where the divine "two witness" rule employed by watchtower actually worked to the satisfaction of law enforcement.. ( i would like to read of the case where brother crap and brother piss sat there and watched as brother vile raped a child, and how this was brought to a satisfactory conclusion.).

I didn't mean to indicate one is bad or good. Just hope you go in realistic expectations.
