Most lawyers that I’ve had contact with might hesitate to champion a group that had to settle out of court to silence people, a group that discourages their members from seeking help outside it, a group that prioritizes the status of known abusers and predators over the voices of victims. But of course, that kind of thing is just one aspect of the law.

Looking back – nah, doesn’t ring true. You’re not a lawyer.

I also don’t believe that you aren’t a JW. I don’t know of anyone else who would require two witnesses to abuse in order for there to be questions asked, investigations started. I sure hope that people you know aren’t molested or hurt in private and then have to plan for there to be another witness present when it happens again. Thing is, there might be multiple people, as in the case of most wanted Rick McLean, each of whom only have the one witness, or who are told to let Jehovah handle it, etc.

If there was nothing to the charges, then why would they settle – on the condition of a gag order?

Anyway, I’m not sure which “accusations” that you refer to when you claim their COMPLETE FALSEHOOD.
