Catholics Payout $2 Billion compensation versus Jehovah’s Witnesses ZERO compensation Catholic church child protection policies now in place:
* Report all allegations of abuse to authorities
* Reveal internal church records about abusers
* Compensate victims
* Allow settlement victims to speak about their abuse
* Apologize to victims for church mistakes
Jehovah’s Witnesses child abuse (NON) settlements:
x Report all allegations of abuse to Watchtower Legal Department
x Destroy or prevent church records about abusers from being revealed
X Only compensate victims after spending millions in attorney fees to exhaust all possibilities otherwise
X Make compensated victims sign gag orders to prevent them from speaking
X Leadership makes no acknowledgment of wrongdoing or apology
Watchtower Leadership (Governing Body) authorized payment in May 2007, of the largest settlement in church history to sixteen victims of the church child abuse policy.

This is certainly good news as it will allow thousands of JW victims to understand that they too might be able to be compensated for their abuse as well.
As you can see above the Catholic Church has made adjustments force/funded by lawsuits to require adjustments in their child abuse policy.
Now Jehovah’s Witnesses are starting the billion dollar process of discovering how to change policy or get sued out of existence.
Thankfully Jehovah’s Witnesses are one of the wealthiest religions on earth and even though they continue to spend the bulk of their ‘Worldwide Work Donations’ protecting the religious rights of child molesters they are learning the hard way.
Please do not give Jehovah’s Witnesses money until they start following the example set by the Catholic Church,otherwise you will be funding the freedom of pedophiles.
Victims and advocates hope Jehovah’s Witnesses learn even more quickly about changing their policy on child abuse thus leaving more money for victims’ compensation instead of attorney pockets.
