Hello.
I remember some time ago someone brought up a letter to congregations or some other similar instruction, instructing the elders to "contact the authorities immediately" if something like a robbery or trouble came upon a Kingdom Hall.
Does anyone remember that? And what was the source of that instruction please?
Much appreciated.
Hi EdenOne,
If I remember correctly, the elder's handbook has instructions about calling the authorities when there is a meeting disturbance.
I think I already see the irony in your question: Going immediately to the police to protect WT property, but refraining when a member of the congregation has CSA issues. (And I think they no longer say "member." I think currently they are now saying an "associate" or something like that.)
Yes that's what I intend to establish, this different standard of action towards a crime that is known by the elders to have taken place. Still, I need the source ...
Please post back here if you find it. Would be a great comparison!
Hey Atlantis our good friend...we need your help. I remember such an announcement...it may have been in the form of a leaked BOE letter meant only for the elders.
Is this surprising to any degree ?
Just bumping this to the top, as if someone is able to give us the Copy of the letter on here, we can then readily establish the truth of the Org's terrible attitude to Abuse in their midst.
Helpful for active J.W's to see the true nature of the org !
See chapter 20, paragraph 38 of the most recent Shepherd the Flock book.
Paragraph 37 also has something about calling the police.
Can someone point me to the PORTUGUESE edition of the latest Shepherd The Flock book, please? My personal copy is of the 1991 edition of "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All The Flock" book...
