i recieved my copy today and have only spent an hour or so in looking it over.. i want to commend barbara anderson and those who assisted her , this is very well written and compelling.

if you haven't ordered a copy yet, i encourage you to do so.. (forgive me if i word this badly my awake college education might show ) my initial reaction to what i've been reading is how the watchtower society lawyers, headquarters etc does not apper to be any kind of organization led by god.

it appears to be a business trying to protect it's treasures stored upon the earth.

crankytoe you can read about it and see how to order here ... www.watchtowerdocuments.com

i've been reading the lawsuit accusations today and still, just mind boggled at the scope.

has anyone heard any more about any plans barbara has for publicity? i want mainstream witnesses to hear about this stuff. they are so insulated that the reality of what headquarters does rarely filters down to regular witnesses realizations.

Honesty, it is emotional to go thru.. especially the lawsuits , reading item after item of the horrifying alledged offenses all the while realizing the watchtower chose to offer a settlement instead of defending themselves makes me sick to my stomach. But you know? the victims had to go thru a whole lot worse . This information needs to get out to the public so they can see the extent of the offenses. I'm not really talking about the actual sexual abuse, as bad as that was, its the heartless stance the watchtower has taken as an entity representing god in dealing with the victims of pedophelia. The scope of the offenses has been touched on over the years, reading the lists of alledged offenses is overwhelming. Seriously, you've never ever seen a compilation of information that really exposes the enormity of the problems.

The watchtower chose not to defend itself against these charges. 2 potential reasons.. money and the realization that they simply have no defense.

definitely anger

i was also overwhelmed at the sadness having such obvious confirmation that it isnt " the truth"

which made for some unwelcome soul searching..was part of me still wishing it was the truth? i dont know.

it's just so sad that children are hurt and their abusers are protected "in the name of god" in any religion.

It appears to be a business trying to protect it's treasures stored upon the earth. There is some lip service of concern for children but overall the main concern of the watchtower seems to be in protecting it's business money and reputation. Which is fine for any multi national/ multi billion dollar business, what is so hurtful though is that the watchtower presents itself as God's Organization. A spiritual paradise. A happy people. Sadly, those things seem important to the average Jehovah's Witness but glaringly you see how overall the Watchtower is just a business full of lawyers who seek to protect money over children.

for example:

the Tele-Memo mentioned on page 68

An Excerpt from page 68:

Begin Quote"

alt "End Quote

Barbara provides a scan of the Tele -Memo on pages 69-73 where it plainly says make the call annonymously. Also question 13 is an expected one " Who else has knowledge of abuse".........it makes me wonder if how widely known it is plays into whether or not it was reported back before the laws protecting children and requiring reporting came into effect.

Reading the Plaintiffs claims is eye opening and I'll spend more time going thru them and maybe post some impressions at a later time. Note that I'm just an uneducated reader and these are just my personal reactions and opinons. Many times in my brief read thru I was gasping in horror and outrage. And I grieve that MY OWN CHILDREN are still part of this organization. For your info although I have posted about it before, there was a pedophile in our congregation, the elders knew, he went out in service , attended meetings and I never would have known if an elders child hadn't told my child. The elder made sure his own children were warned and protected but not my children. A spiritual paradise indeed.

news report for pedophiles

by loosie in

i need a news report regarding the wt pedophile lawsuits.

does anybody know where i can find one?.

it needs to come from a news site not an ex witness site.

candidlynuts

are you looking for recent ones or any from the past?

i'm searching right now for you.

one is here.. http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sonoma/04.06.05/jehovahs-0514.html

one at the boston globe from 2005 http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2005/02/23/ruling_offers_new_basis_for_suits_against_churches/

the more recent arrest of the bethel elder jesus cano http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_177180721.html

if you're looking specifically for a news story about barbara andersons cd release , i think she is working on getting it in the news but so far all i've seen are press releases that Danny Hazzard has released on blog sites and such.. you can find those links in the seeker4 thread announcing the cd release here at jwd. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/139789/1.ashx

Hopefully there will be an AP news story on the cd's contents soon on multiple sites that you can use.

i wish i could have been more help. you might try looking here in the " best of" section or at silentlambs.org or snap.org and see if there are any archived there.
