Here is a more legit source. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/135M-Awarded-to-Bible-Teacher-Gonzalo-Campos-Alleged-Abuse-Victim-Jose-Lopez-281031832.html

Quote: The lawsuit, in which Lopez is the only plaintiff, accuses the Watchtower of refusing to obey court orders to produce documents that would show the problem of sexual abuse within congregations across the U.S. and of turning down a court order to produce a leader for a deposition. The Watchtower told NBC 7 it plans to appeal the judgment, saying the award given after a hearing at which it was barred from participating. INVESTIGATIVEDay Care Owner Arrested in Infant's Death “Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse and strive to protect children from such acts,” the organization said in a statement. “The trial judge’s decision is a drastic action for any judge to take given the circumstances of the case. We will seek a full review of this case on appeal.” As for Campos, Zalkin said he is in Mexico, where he moved as soon as they started investigating this case.

JWs are widely disliked. I respect their attitude toward the world though. It is a scary mess. Maybe this criminal used the religion as a scapegoat and left the jurisdiction.

Notice their record for discussing pedophilia:

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/s/r1/lp-e?q=protecting%20children

At least they aren’t afraid to talk about it. Also, the local JWs here say that they are always receiving the same instruction: report these crimes to law enforcement immediately. Seems like they get it. I’m sure there are bad apples everywhere, though. Be careful,

Thank you for this bit of research 🙂 Another thing interesting is JWs are banned in Russia even after providing video evidence of the Russian authority's planting fraudulent literature in a Kingdom Hall and the same year wile court case is still pending , Putin gives a witness family a " parent of the year award" now that's weird 🤔

GreenDell144

Yes. Take a look at some of the other things Putin has done recently. That family award stood out for me too.

You reminded me that I didn't watch the November broadcast yet for JWs worldwide ( or whoever else wishes to watch it) and right at the beginning of the broadcast it's highlighting the importance of reputable . sources! And I had just posted about this . Although no organization on earth is perfect I have yet to find any fault with the teachings of JWs because they are based on study of the scripture. They have admitted fault and changed things accordingly , like Christmas . It used to be celebrated until thorough research proved that nobody knows the exact date of Jesus birth and that this was of pagan origin . So ya it was hard for some to walk away from the traditions of men and they clung to them verses being ill treated like others were and still are to this day . The one thing Jesus said to remember was his death and why it had to happen . It was studying the Bible with witnesses after 911 that made me question and research everything . I went to the pastor at our then church to ask him about certain things in the Bible that didn't coincide with his teachings and he told me the Bible wasn't meant for us to understand 😳 Sorry I didn't accept that ...

Any church that covers for a pedophole is a false phony evil institution!

3141592653

Yes to this

new4now

organized religion is looking to be not a good thing, too much perversion and corruption

nothing is as it seems to be anymore

sometimes I feel,for peace of mind, hooking back up to the Matrix

this Redpill shit is brutal

I'm a recovered Catholic myself

Cc1914

The same person who wrote this way twisted out of context information about JWs is the same guy who thinks PIZZAGATE is fake . Here is Mr. bundy himself https://twitter.com/treybundy/status/931928981473038337 with that being said , this is an obvious attempt to mislead people .. and purposely at that .

3141592653

There's plenty of other damning info online about JW by other writers

Cc1914

why choose a reporter that blatantly has an agenda against JWs? Why not investigate each " damning case " individually ? I'm a JW are you saying I cover up pedophilia? Religions have been infiltrated there is no Doubt that all will be brought to light .

3141592653

U are a jw? I appreciate hearing your perspective

Cc1914

Sure , but didn't I already voice that 3 months ago when you first posted this ? I'm not protecting any pedos no matter what religion they are . This article was written by someone who has an agenda . Please see my past comments in this thread .

I do not think everyone who is a jw is a bad person. Not at all.

Shillfest2017

I have some experience with the JW cult through a girl I dated. She was raised by a family that was completely devoted to the organization, and all of her friends were a part of it as well. They discourage (most don't even allow) associating themselves with worldly people, which is their term for anybody that isn't a JW.

They have a form of control over their members that is unlike anything I've ever seen. For instance, my ex's immediate family were all part of it and her dad was on the local branches "elder council" which runs everything and also serves as an authority for the JW's to punish members for branching out into the real world.

My ex wasn't allowed to speak to any of her other extended family for her entire life until she was kicked out of the cult. At the time, she was barely an adult, and only had social connections through the cult. After we started seeing each other, she had to go to the elder council and tell them about it. They weren't happy. They decided to banish her.

I didn't think being banished from a cult sounded all that terrible, but when your entire life is wrapped up in this bullshit it can really fuck with your reality. Once banished, other members of the cult will immediately disassociate themselves you. Her family would not speak to her at all, nor would any of her friends that were still involved in the cult. The entire thing was incredibly fucked up.

It seems to me, in that book the bible, there is example after example of organized religion always going bad. In the books about Jesus, it would seem the whole of organized religion was way off track at the time.... and there is also specific instruction to not partake in organized religion such as we see today in many prominent Churches. For those who do not believe the bible to be truth and accurate historical record, it does still serve as a good moral handbook with profound insight to life in general.

Steelstrike309

The fact that someone would get promoted AFTER the allegation is what blows my mind. They don't even attempt the coverup.

3141592653

Agreed

Smokrates

They have nothing on the Catholics.the Irish priests have been fucking boys and girls for centuries.

Kacey

Jehovah's Witnesses were founded in the 1870's so they haven't had as much time as the Catholics. Only about a century and 1/2. There are about 8.3 million Jehovah's Witnesses and 1.2 Billion Catholics. So one would expect more problems with Catholics eh? But of course the celibacy of the priesthood causes many priests to be tempted, and the availability of altar boys no doubt prompts many to become priests. JW's have a strong male hierarchy which of course is the same as with the Catholics. Creates problems.

tholinz

The difference is that the JWs have an almost pathological hatred of the government and police, so it's literally against organizational doctrine to report an abusive situation. The Catholic Church might have a history of covering shit up (and yes, that's incredibly bad), but it's not beat into people at Mass to never talk to the police about a crime.

Cc1914

Blatant lie!

tholinz

No, it's true. JWs push the idea that all governments are literally run by Satan and the world is collapsing, so you shouldn't cooperate with anything. The Catholic Church hid sex abuse, but not reporting crimes to police is not official doctrine.

3141592653

It's official per the Vatican

Cc1914

Your saying it's our doctrine to hide crimes from the police? That is total false information

Cc1914

So .. you don't think the world is in trouble huh?

Cc1914

The Bible says the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one . Don't say we are the only people who believe this ! That's a lie. We also don't push anything . If you knew anything about what we believe and why we believe it you wouldn't say that .

My knowledge of the american judiciary system isn't very good but am i to understand that if the JW keep refusing to comply they will just award the settlement to the victim as they are being Sued and its not a criminal case, that means they can pay the money and the documents would never be released as there is no criminal matter?

What kind of BassAckwards Law is that? Tailor Made. Victims never see Real Justice, and the abuser gets off Scott Free.

I just taught myself to archive. On the sidebar at the bottom of the rules it says to use "archive.is" to 'archive and distribute sources'. So I just try to pitch in. I can't figure out which articles derram will or won't archive.

They really close ranks when the infidels are at the gates, even if they have to sacrifice a few kids.
