A petition that really works! Change the law to bring the WTS to its knees!
by Diest ini know that most people on here dislike the idea of a petition, but i think i finally realized a petition that could really work.
in the candice conti case she was allowed to start a civil lawsuit that was way past the statute of limitations.
because california has changed the their civil statute of limitations in sexual abuse cases.. so how do petitions come in?

Why the Watchtower Can't Drop Its Appeal
by Diest ini don't think the society can afford to drop this appeal.
1. if they loose their appeal it opens them up to huge amounts of liability.
they need the courts to come down on their side of the clergy-penitent confidentiality issue.

Does anyone have a pedophile policy timeline?
by Diest ini was talking to a close relative about the case, and they brought up the fact that they thought the society had changed many of ther policies on molestation long ago.
i am curious about the policy change that made it so molesters could not become elders anymore.
i am sure there are many others that i am unaware of, but i think a timeline would actually show current jws how slow the organization was to act.. thanks in advance for any help..
