Humanist, ex-JW maggot, anti-cult, atheist, Australian, critical thinker, and dedicated to the downfall of religion... ESPECIALLY The Watchtower Organisation!

"The most important light in the world is all the light you cannot see."
(From the novel & Netflix mini-series "All The Light You Cannot See")

Neither the novel or series has anything to do with Watch Tower... but the title really resonated with me.

@JHacche How many more "Final Warnings" are you going to issue? You seem incapable of destruction... it appears to be an empty threat.

Instead, all I see is something along the lines of "If you don’t heed my Final Warning, then you'll leave me with no choice but to issue you another one!

@JHacche To quote Sir Elton John:
"Don't you know, I'm still standing...!"

[The Gibbering Booby @MarketisJohn]

@JHacche How did that work out for you?

[The Gibbering Booby @MarketisJohn]

@JHacche How did you go? Did you achieve your desired outcome? Did you get the two new ones, too?

@hemantmehta WTF is WRONG with people? 🤬

A child with diabetes was found dead in her home.

Her parents refused to give her life-saving insulin shots. Instead, with urging from their church, they just prayed.

The trial for the 14 church members charged with her death begins today in Australia.

Oh look! Those "nice" Jehovah's Witnesses are in the news for the wrong reasons... AGAIN!

BREAKING:

After more than 5 years of investigation, litigation, depositions, and multiple fines and sanctions against the Jehovah's Witnesses, two Federal Court child abuse cases have reached a confidential settlement.

Multiple victims of abuse alleged that they suffered at the hands of numerous Elders and Ministerial Servants in Hardin Montana during the 1970s and 80s, and that these allegations and facts were known to countless other elders, Circuit Overseers, District Overseers and the men who operate the Legal and Service Departments at the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses.

These cases were scheduled for consecutive trials in August and September, but the sudden settlement signals the end of litigation and a small measure of justice for the victims of these men and the organization that failed to notify law enforcement of these alleged crimes.

The Jehovah's Witnesses sabotaged their own ability to stand trial in both cases due to legal practices that caused Federal Judge Susan Watters to issue a series of sanctions and penalties for judicial misconduct.

Some of these sanctions included instructions to the jury in both the Caekart and Rowland cases that the Jehovah's Witnesses had intentionally destroyed key documents when creating "Memorandums," or summaries of child abuse cases.

During the course of this case, Watchtower's own chief counsel Philip Brumley was fined more than $154,000 for his role in misleading the Court and filing two false and deceptive affidavits.

Brumley appealed these sanctions to the 9th Circuit, but the Appellate Court upheld his fines and will forever be a stain upon the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses.

While these settlements normally come with Non-Disclosure Agreements attached, the amount of information gained during the past 5 years will be instrumental in helping countless other victims of abuse within the JW Church.

It will also provide a historical analysis of the extent of child abuse and lack of reporting among the Witnesses, driven by the policies of its Governing Body and their lawyers.

More analysis will follow in the coming weeks and months.

@SciManDan This idiot is not worth your time, Dan.

For decades, he has just regurgitated his bollocks despite being corrected numerous times.

@IcIsaac5 Imagine being 66 and still thinking the same way I did when I was 36... THAT is being an idiot!

@Larchwood20 I find it hard to believe that they know all this given that they DIDN'T know "beard prohibition" wasn't in the bible.

They're big on minutiae, aren't they?

In true form, my Nanna’s given us one last laugh…as my Dad’s been sorting her funeral he found her Mum’s birth certificate and therefore discovered the name of HER Nanna.

Excuse me while I get up off the floor to catch my breath

@Aku_Reborn @erichovind Making the facts fit the fairy tale... that's called "post-hoc rationalisation"!
