United States — Child abuse is abhorrent to us, is a commendable statement, and one Jehovah's Witnesses repeat often. Knowing there were documents that would prove their secret actions spoke louder than their public words, I committed to unveil what has been too long hidden in a religion which proclaims their child abuse policy is without equal in the religious community.


The goal of my project was to shine a bright light on the secret policies and procedures utilized by Jehovah's Witness leaders to manage victims, accusations of sexual abuse by Witness molesters. But to do so depended upon obtaining over 5,000 pages of court documents, which I did, and they revealed the truth.

Along with the documents put on a CD, I have provided a commentary meant to make it easier for readers to make sense of the thousands of pages of court records. My work is just a glimpse into the internal workings of Jehovah's Witnesses in the matter of child sexual abuse. I certainly have not provided all the information that can be gleaned out of the records. Now it is up to others to pick up the gauntlet and explore what is being provided in a new CD.
