Jehovah's Witnesses ordered to pay more than $20 million to woman who said she was sexually abused
By James Eng, msnbc.com
Updated at 3:20 p.m. ET: In what both sides described as a momentous ruling, a jury in Oakland, Calif., has found that Jehovah’s Witnesses was partly responsible for the alleged sexual abuse of a girl by one of its members and must pay her more than $20 million.


The Alameda County Superior Court jury on Thursday awarded $21 million in punitive damages to the plaintiff, who is now 26 years old. That was on top of the $7 million in compensatory damages it awarded her on Wednesday.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ legal entity, is responsible for the entire punitive damages amount and 40 percent of the compensatory damages, said Rick Simons, attorney for the plaintiff. Sixty percent of the compensatory damages was assessed against Jonathan Kendrick, the man accused of abusing her.

Candace Conti sued Watchtower, the Fremont, Calif., congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses and Kendrick in 2011. It’s msnbc.com’s policy not to identify victims of sexual abuse, but Conti agreed to be identified so that any other victims would feel they could come forward too.

There is a JW church about a mile or so from the Central FL blueballs compound and every now and then they take to the streets and show up at the front door.

After this occured about a half dozen times I started going to the door in my underwear and telling them we had just put the porno in the DVD and packed the bong.... they stopped coming by. Bastards.

I guess the Bible and pamphlet espousing its virtues tipped me off.

Nicely dressed and a confused and unwilling child in tow - yep a christian. :ohno:
One of the primary ways in which children's rights are violated in religious environments is by indoctrination. Instead of granting their children the same right to religious freedom that they want for themselves, many parents indoctrinate them before they are able to make their own informed decision on whether to believe or not. Young children are also targeted for indoctrination by religious institutions, especially by fundamentalists, evangelicals, Catholics and Anglicans, but also by cults like Scientology. The beliefs and doctrines of those groups are so irrational that the best way to get new recruits is to manipulate the minds of children and teens who are unable to defend themselves from lies and superstitions with reason. In my opinion, that is immoral spiritual abuse. The educational rights of children are also undermined when they are intellectually abused with biblical literalism, anti-science creationism or denied the right to attend university.

Why would someone, going door to door espousing the virtues of Jesus, call themselves a Christian if they aren't?

Who the fuck knows? Maybe she went and beat the shit out of the girl because she failed to score another recruit. All I know is she should leave her granddaughter out of it if she wants to go around annoying strangers on weekends.

Well, if one was to decide to become a religious retard, the Jehovas have always been into flaunting their hot young ladies in short skirts, seems more appealing than pumping Cub Scouts bent over an alter, but that could just be my own personal taste.
