BonaFide's experience is exactly what the filed court records detail from those 9 lawsuits settled out-of-court by WT in February-March 2007
FYI, due to the inept handling of all types of abuse cases by the Service Dept., back in 1991-92 the GB required the Service Dept. to share all child and domestic abuse reports with the Legal Dept., hence the reason for reporting the allegation twice.
The questionnaire form filled out by both men at WT headquarters is the "Child Abuse Telememo" form that WT attorneys fought so hard to keep from both court and public scrutiny when the seven California lawsuits wound their way through the court system. Part of that form consists of instructions for two elders to phone the police from a phone booth if the abuse happened in a mandated reporting state. Since phone booths are hard to find nowadays, I wonder if a purchased phone card is the suggested way to go because the number cannot be traced?
For those of you who are new on the board, see that "Telelmemo" form and other revealing documents WT was forced to produce during discovery on my website. They can be found in the almost 100-page Commentary that I wrote after reading over 5,000 pages of court material that I purchased from the courts. That Commentary and the actual records are free for downloading. Go to www.watchtowerdocuments.com and read this material for yourself which also can be obtained on a CD, "Secrets of Pedophilia in an American Religion, Jehovah's Witnesses in Crisis."
