  From reading the ruling it sounds like these records will be open to the court and/or parties filing suit against the WT. Does it also mean they will be made public?

  It would be nice to have a good rundown of the pedophiles known to the org, since they protect them from secular sanction.

  It also appears this is a ruling from a lower court. This could open the WT to death by a thousand cuts. Expect them to fight this like a cornered animal, because that is what they are here. They will take it through every appeal they can. That will take a long time.

  Nevertheless, the WT can run but they can't hide.

  ""It also appears this is a ruling from a lower court.""

  I'll wait until it makes it through the entire legal system before I get excited about it.

  Is this the same California court that said that the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional?

  The same ruling in an ancillary case has been appealed to the Calif court of appeals and the Calif surpreme court, where rulings were issued in favor of the plaintiffs (abuse survivors).

  We got the documents we needed from the ruling.

  We are still exploring fact witnesses concerning practices of WTS, related to abuse outcries.

  If you are aware of incidents of cover-up, please contact me at

  Someone just made the post.. sorry I forgot who, that perhaps this was the big announcement. You know.. the more I think about it..maybe there right on. Someone on another thread a while ago had a connection at Bethel, and told us, that it was going to be BIG news. That the Society was afraid as to how the rank and file would react. Fearing many would be stumbled.

  Isn't it coinsidential that this "news" is coming on the heals of the latest tract, attacking the Catholics for Pediphilia?? Hmmm.. I just bet you the Society knew of this ruling, and announcement..or knew they wouldn't win, and decided to get everyone all hyped up about the end being near, so they would be better on guard not to let news of this magnitude get to them??

  Anyone else think this may be the "big news"??

  Sincerely,

  Lady Liberty

  Well, crap! I can hear those virtual shredders going at Bethel right now. I wish they'd just hit 'em with a surprise warrant to confiscate ALL those files, before they announced their intentions.

  Hi Kimberlee,

  Thank you for updating and explaining details we peasants are not aware of.

  You said:

  We got the documents we needed from the ruling.

  Did you mean you actually have them, or that the court has ruled that the WBTS must, at some time in the future, hand them over?

  And going on from that: What would stop the WBTS from shredding and not handing over any or some?

  Thanks again for keeping us informed.

  Stillconcerned:

  "The same ruling in an ancillary case has been appealed to the Calif court of appeals and the Calif surpreme court, where rulings were issued in favor of the plaintiffs (abuse survivors)."

  Were these opinions published? If not, you know they cannot be used as precedents if the WT decides to appeal the latest ruling in the "non-track 1 cases"; as they have access to basically unlimited funds from the unknowing rank and file stuffing money into the "world wide work" boxes every month, the WT would have nothing to lose in appealing to the Court of Appeals.
