The leadership of the Jehovah’s Witnesses – one of the world’s most
insular religions – for 25 years has instructed its elders to keep cases
of child sexual abuse secret from law enforcement and members of their
own congregations, according to an examination of thousands of pages of
documents in recent cases.
The religion’s parent organization, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, issued the directives in at least 10 memosdating
back to 1989. Although the memos were anonymously written, Watchtower
officials have testified that the organization’s Governing Body approved
them all.
