Do you think any active JW's realise that their money has been used to compensate abuse victims and NOT for the World Wide Work?
Donations - child abuse compensation pay-outs.

Hi Jambon 1. I mentioned this very question some time ago. The answer was that the World Wide Work mony can be used to protect the Society's interest when it has to litigate issues that go to court.
I don't accept that answer because child abuse is a crime against an innocent individual. Such a crime committed by the Society's awareness and coverup of such crimes, they should not be allowed to use the W.W.W. Funds in their defense. That is not what the money is for. It's for Kingdom work.
I'm sure that the rank and file are not aware of this because many don't believe that the Society is guilty of such a coverup.

Probably not, but if they find out, their eyes will glaze over and they will agree that the FDS knows best how to use the money.

They need to rename it the World Wide Pedophile Fund.

Anybody that tries to state fact will be labeled an apostate. Therefore, most JW's will here nothing of it.

I don't have a problem with the victims being paid--that's the only compensation they're going to get. I do think that the amount paid should have to be disclosed to all congregations though.
