Why did you not ask for advice here? or send it from an unknown source? Elders are local protectors, and will react badly if they are seen to be allowing dissent in the ranks of their flock. He has to assume that you have been blabbering to others.

wringing their hands, knowing that a child is being raped on an ongoing basis, that they can't figure out the right thing to do. Scully
What percentage do you think are actually in that rape category? , but all in that US list are at least suspects in that big dragnet?
Morpheus & Davis, intelligent discussion!

Theists, why does God allow suffering..
by The Quiet One in..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

why? perhaps he never foresaw that the automatic evolution process would progress to the point where suffering would last so long to cause pain to be remembered and be recognized by intelligent beings.?

F, subscribe to rules? That is not in the "bible teach" book, or explained to the 9 year olds that have to say ."yes" to " jehovah's spirit directed organisation?", and in pre-baptism sessions with the elders.

Is it really possible to disprove the Watchtower?
by Coded Logic indear brothers and sisters,.
considering the end is so near at hand we thought it important for to reiterate that it's absolutely impossible to prove god's "one true organisation" wrong.
there is nothing on heaven or earth that could ever be shown to be false or incorrect in our entire .

It was easy to prove a particular WT teaching wrong, you only had to compare your study copy with the bound volume at year's end. Sometimes applications with disfellowshipping consequences changed within weeks ( Marriage positions), sometimes it took them 40 years to correct their blunders. (Superior Authorities)
Anointed overlapping generation to 2075? already found to be wrong on all counts. easy.

Another reason is that all incidents, even cases that turned out to be unfounded are contained in these files. Why would Zalkin need all the US file anyway? because the judge said so?
I have yet to see a case as severe, or similar to the US olympic gymnastic coach, or the Canadian ski coach that had relations with a twelve year old, and got a 15 year old pregnant, among others, show up on the Watch Tower list. By it's nature the religion keeps a lid on things, even on the personal level.
One can not just "release a list" with so many variables in it.
