  For several years there has been available a Pay Attention to Yourselves and to the Flock book in PDF and HTML format. This book has proven to be extremely valuable in exposing the morally questionable activities of the Watchtower Society.

  Now we have a NEW version that is even more valuable because it contains the hand-written notes of a Presiding Overseer, some notes as recent as late 2005. These notes are frequently dictated to elders by a Circuit Overseer or District Overseer in order to avoid liability (the WTS can deny every giving such instructions).

  An excellent example of what these notes contain is on page 74 where the elders are given instructions to DESTROY THE RECORDS OF CHILD MOLESTERS SO THE CHILD MOLESTERS CAN BECOME ELDERS AGAIN.

  There are several other similar notes where the elders are instructed to call the Watchtower Legal Department if they hear of any allegations of abuse. Stop and think about this for a minute... if you heard an allegation of a child being raped, would you call the police or your lawyer? I suspect 99.999% of the population would immediately call the police, but not Jehovahs Witnesses! NO! They call their LAWYER!

  Thanks Elsewhere

  I have a copy of that book (1991). The elder who owned this book did not take any notes in the last ten years because of his advanced age. However, I did find a page with "Six expressions that should not be used on forms" sent to Society including "alluding to, or naming, Society's attorneys or mention of Legal Dept or any comments from Society." Also "any comments mentioning anyone except the committee itself as to decision reached (as a possible influence)." "Any comment that might suggest to someone with a critical eye that the committee did not reach its decision on its own but somehow yielded to influence of an outside party." "Any comments indicating that the elders mishandled the case or committed an error in the judicial process."
