Problemaddict - sorry have to disagree with you, on a lot of things.
I am a newbie, I was involved in the whole drama, right from the beginning, when it all kicked off.

I want, above all else in life, 'truth' the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Of course, that is an impossibility to gaurentee in 'everyday' life.
NOT everybody in life is truthful, honest, moral, or even kind. some people are bare-faced, and I mean, literally, look you square in the face and 'pretend' and lie, lie, lie, through their teeth, like fairytale shit, you would never believe it. Some people not only 'thrive' on lying cheating scammin conning, stepping on, crushing, disregarding, anyone and everyone who gets in the way of their wants, needs, desires, dreams, goals.
People in the 'world' are not like mind controlled brainwashed, innocent, ignorant, follow the leader 'sheeple'. It is not a disney movie.
Politicians do it all of the time. they have a special 'language' they know the game, and aare playing the game, for themselves, not for us, for our good, we are just collateral damage in the game of life.
And because I have peraonally had dealings with and close contacts with these kinds of people, and I know exactly how machivaelian they are, and how heartless and cruel they can be. Just like con-men, going oround town, ripping off grannies and single moms, they prey on other people, use them abuse them, then discard them. and these types of people, make me sick. The highest order of disgust is what I have for these kinds of people.
some here seem to be a bit confused with what is really going on here. Is it a trial ? well maybe it is, in a way, what's wrong with that.
what are the purpose of trials ? are they not specifically fact-finding missions, dedicated to finding out the truth, it is the truth, the facts, that people want generally. Sure there are some who can just walk on by and say, let it go, oh for gods sake, stop flogging the dead horse. Well, okay, good for them, their lives were not affected. So, it's a different ball game isn't it. For those who don't know how to play the game, don't get involved, walk on by, know one will ever know nor care. good for you.
For others, who have and are suffering, and are in pain, in their lives, as a human being, a 'sister' a 'brother' in life, for all that we have a moral duty to, it is not that easy.
If he had been abused by WT paedo's, you would all be baying for blood, obviously, it is no where near the same things, but, at what stage do we get to put a price on someone ?
There is a person at stake here, more than one. Anyone of you here, who has lost everything in their lives, will know, feel and understand what sic is going through.
It is rotten, and it is disgusting, and it is every bit as bad by the crimes commited by WT and the jw's. So if he wants justice, he is entitled to it.
This is not about 'revenge for sic' it is about, truth, honesty and justice. He is entitled to it, he has been wronged, hugely. As ex-jw's, everyone should know exactly what he is going through.
As for Cedars and Marvin doing 'great works', yes, and it is a credit, but, it has nothing to do with the issue. It's like saying, the church gave money to the school and did great and wondrous deeds, so, that kinda rules out the abuse to kids. No, that used to happen in society, as people never had a voice.
