slmdf, did you call the authorities, if only the child accused, and the molester denied it?
If the molester denys it, the Watchtower in their open letter, on their website, says IF the law makes you, call authorities. All of their wording, in all of their letters and press releases, really p1ss me off. Can't blame the WTS though. If I was guilty of allowing child molesters to roam freely, I may lie to cover my ass and assets too.
However, even if the elders cannot take congregational action, they are expected to report the allegation to the branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses in their country, if local privacy laws permit. In addition to making a report to the branch office, the elders may be required by law to report even uncorroborated or unsubstantiated allegations to the authorities. If so, we expect the elders to comply. Additionally, the victim may wish to report the matter to the authorities, and it is his or her absolute right to do so.
