  Russell v Russell: the 1908 court transcript

  does anyone know how to obtain a copy?.

  i have poked around pennsylvania websites, attempting to figure out how to obtain the transcript, but recently, i have it on good authority that the transcript went missing from the pennsylvania archives over 30 years ago.

  it is likely that there is vested interest (jws, bible students) to keep this hidden..

  The elders didn't get who was in charge. They do now.

  Thanks for sharing. I've a feeling that this story will be greater than in 2001, even greater than the publicity over Candice Conti...

  1,000 sex abuse cases hidden in Australia for 68,000 publishers...what is it worldwide?

  by cappytan in

  the press is reporting that over 1,000 cases of abuse were hidden from authorities in australia.. australia has around 68,000 publishers.. if you that ratio applied to the u.s. also, there could be over 14,700 cases that were covered up here.. if the ratio held the same worldwide, that would be over 117,600 cases.. just let that sink in a little..

  In countries like Mexico, Central and South America (and many African countries) these things are much easier to cover up. There’s no telling how rampant the problem is in those places.

  Sam Herd’s comment on the 2001 Dateline expose

  2. child-abuse

  im going by memory, so not an exact quote...i believe this was around 2002, at the crownsville assembly hall (now sold from what i understand)..

  he said basically: some people watch an hour show and give up the faith that theyve had for decades..

  the impact of this show was like a canon being shot into a swimming pool.

  When I first heard about it, I was at the book study. Of course, it was heavily criticized. I remember hearing how victims were threatened with disfellowshipping if they went to the police. Of course, I immediately said that can’t be true. It was unbelievable to me. However, the book study conductor, an elder, said, that yes, basically that was the policy at the one time. I couldn’t believe my ears.

  1006 cases just in Australia…there are only 70000 JWs there. Imagine in the US, where there are over ten times that many.

  I have poked around Pennsylvania websites, attempting to figure out how to obtain the transcript, but recently, I have it on good authority that the transcript went missing from the Pennsylvania archives over 30 years ago. It is likely that there is vested interest (JWs, Bible Students) to keep this hidden.
