However, these policies were designed to prevent cooperation with secular investigators. For instance, when an elder called the Legal Department he would be asked what state he lived in. If that state required clergy to report child abuse to law enforcement, a recommendation was made that the elder make an anonymous call from a telephone booth. No doubt this was done so that law enforcement authorities would be unable to contact them for more information.
Elders really do not want to get involved so they have to make anonymous phone calls! Shame on them, most of them are probably parents! Err! WTBTS has too much control over peoples minds and it really make me mad. Not even the elders can think for themselves to do what is right in God's eyes!
