Judge Orders Jehovah's Witnesses to turn over Internal Documents re: Childhood Sexual Abuse (page 2)

I don't have the link but in one case it was like $4,000 every day they didn't produce the documents. Months later they were still in contempt of court.

And that case got settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.

No wonder the GB members appear more stressed and tired lately. They’re constantly under attack from all levels.

I’m still waiting for that watershed event that will finally expose this religion’s harmful policies for all to see.

Thank you Barbara for posting this.

Thanks Barbara for keeping us up to date.

The clergy-penitent privilege......hmmmm maybe the Court should put a few Elder's wives on the stand to make sure that the clergy-penitent privilege was not violated as they swear an oath on their NWT Bible that her and her husband never discussed the situation.

If she lies about it she and hubby will be toast.

gone for good

Thanks to Barbara.

Has no legal-eagle or prosecution witness ever told a court that JW's cannot possibly exercise or claim clergy-penitent privilege, due to the fact that a JW's confession is automatically relayed to several other elders - and invariably to some of their wives & friends?

Time to bust this JW myth.

I haveta say, I think this has gotta be one of the best ways to tap 'em dry I've ever heard of (along with subpoenas for GB members).

Establishing a continuous pattern of legal noncooperation with the "superior authorities" (in direct violation of "Biblical" commands, no less)... how can it not work in the XJW community's favor?

I firmly believe that a hundred hungry little piranhas can f**k up your shit way worse than one big shark.

The Watchtower doesn’t have any clergy....

The Watchtower doesn’t have any prophets either...

The Watchtower is “profit-like”...

I guess the elders are “clergy-like”...

And they are not at all honest, perhaps they are “honest-like”...
