The 33 documents also provide a staggering play-by-play of how the Watchtower Tract and Bible Society-the parent corporation and governing body for the Jehovah’s Witnesses, often simply referred to as “the Watchtower”-handled the case internally over the course of nearly a decade-playing therapist, prosecutor, jury, and judge-and the lengths to which they went to keep these accusations away from the “worldly court of law.” The interviews and detailed notes compiled by church authorities about molestation and rape allegations are horrific.

Reading through these documents (which have been redacted to protect the identities of all involved) one sees a very disturbing tale come to light firstly that of awful accusations of child sex abuse from three Witness women towards a Ministerial Servant in their congregation (two of the women were the daughters of the abuser), and the subsequent dreadful mishandling of the situation by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. They involve a very serious case of child molestation reported in 1999 and then continue to describe events that take place over the next decade.
