Worse Than Door-To-Door Proselytizing
The Watchtower undertook the responsibility to instruct Jehovah’s Witness elders as to what to do when they received allegations of child sexual abuse. They promulgated policies directing elders to call Watchtower’s “Legal Department” for direction about whether to report allegations of sexual abuse to law enforcement. However, these policies were designed to avert cooperation with secular investigators. For example, elders were sometimes instructed to make anonymous calls from telephone booths so that law enforcement authorities would be unable to contact them for more information. Never before have we actually seen this discussed in a document before, but you can see the documents for yourself.

The woman who runs it and who compiled the information is a good friend of mine.

Although she may not be a well-known celebrity, her website may be one of the top results produced by some search engines when a user searches for a few specific words. I cannot recall the details of the surfing that led me to her website. If it helps, at some moment not long before I found her website, I was reading about a schism in 1054.
