Jehovah's Witnesses Shuts Down Website In Order To Cover Up Peadophilia Letters! by Yooguyz: 5:01pm On Dec 09, 2013
Just when you thought it was safe to call watchtower a done
deal it seems watchtower is going on a mission to tell the body of elders in a series of letters to basically cover up any
illegal activity within the
organization and then tell the elders to destroy the letters once they have read them. The corruption seems like something out of a bad horror movie, like a monster that won’t
seem to die. The story seems to start where
watchtower decided to shut down websites using copyright claims as an excuse to cover up
these leaked watchtower
letters. Its not the first time watchtower has been caught bullying or going after websites
but apparently this time the watchtower realizes the situation is getting out of control so there solution to the
problem is to tell the body of elders to cover up any tracks of criminal activity.

First lets talk about the letters regarding watchtowers desperate attempt to cover up
cases regarding pedophilia.
The document reads:

“1. This letter updates the
letters to all bodies of elders regarding child abuse dated
March 23, 1992; February 3, 1993; August 1, 1995; March 14, 1997; July 20, 1998; May 24, 2002; April 1, 2004; June 5, 2006; and May 24, 2010. Those
letters should be removed from the congregation permanent
file of policy letters and be destroyed. No one should keep originals or copies of any of
those letters.”

Obviously telling someone to destroy a document regarding
Child Abuse is not only
suspicious but illegal.
But wait it gets better.
According to the watchtower the document is saying in black and white that basically, it is not
child molestation, as long as the person is approaching adulthood and is a willing
participant.
The reality is Children are not capable of making adult sexual decisions
with an adult.

“In harmony with these
references, we are herein
discussing sexual perversion in which children are the object of
sexual abuse, including
handling, by an adult. We are not discussing a situation wherein
a minor who is a willing
participant and who is
approaching adulthood has sexual relations with an adult who is a few years older than
the minor nor, generally
speaking, are we discussing situations in which only minors
are involved. Rather, we are referring to situations in which it is established that an adult brother or sister has been guilty
of sexually abusing a young child or has been sexually involved with a minor who is approaching adulthood and who was not a willing participant.”

As sick as this sounds elders rather then reporting these
problems to the authorities they
are strongly encouraged to seek legal advice from watchtower legal
department. Last I heard this falls under the pretenses of aiding and imbedding a known
felon. Note that this comes to any
kind of shock. I think what is most fascinating is that they are
writing a sort of step by step guide to conducting illegal and unlawful practices within a
religious organization. But there is nothing to see here right?

“4. Most states have child-abuse reporting laws that, depending
on the facts, mandate elders to report an accusation to the
authorities. Thus, when elders learn of an accusation of child
abuse, two elders from their congregation should
immediately call the Legal Department for legal advice. If
the individuals involved are in different congregations, each
body of elders should arrange for two of their elders to call the
Legal Department. A call should be made even when both
persons involved in sexual misconduct are minors. The elders should not ask an alleged
victim, the accused person, or relatives of the victim or accused to call the Legal Department.”

Now lets move on to the next brilliant watchtower letter telling elders how to hide or manage digital information that
may have illegal or legally sensitive information.

“What should never be stored online? Any information of a
sensitive or confidential nature, including judicial matters, should not be stored online or
be distributed electronically. The
same is true for documents already available on the jw.org
Web site.”

You are very accurate here! But we seemed to have underestimated how desperate they are to protect their reputation.
