ATTENTION:

In 2006-2007 courts in California ruled:

1. the organization is responsible for the misconduct of its Elders and Ministerial Servants, i.e. clergymen

2. the organization does not enjoy Ecclesiastical Privilege for keeping its Judicial Committee records confidential and away from the discovery process

3. clergy are appointed by Watchtower; and all other truly major decisions must be approved by Watchtower, records are filed with it, etc.

The responsibility is both legal and financial and owes to facts such as that the organization’s clergy class are appointed and disciplined from top-down, all local properties are ultimately owned by the organization. The lack of Eccelesiastical Privilege throwing wide open access to the organization’s Judicial Committee records is due to the organization not having confessions from its pedophiles et al. on a one-to-one (confessing sinner to one clergyman) basis but instead requiring confessions heard by a whole group of Elders convened as a Judicial Committee and causing even more persons to be informed more by mailing records to be seen at the world headquarters facilities in New York.

By failing to acknowledge the problem, investigate vigorously and cooperate with criminal law enforcement authorities, the Watchtower Society has failed to protect its own children from sexual predators.”

Watchtower has also had to pay out enormous sums of money already to many victims successfully sued by Love And Norris: Confirm by seeing http://www.silentlambs.org/APpresscoverage.htm
