Das Ältestenhandbuch von 2010 wies Älteste an, sofort das Zweigbüro anzurufen, wenn sie von einer Beschuldigung erfahren, niemals nahezulegen, dass jemand keine Anzeige bei der Polizei erstatten solle, und zu sagen, die Entscheidung über eine Anzeige 'is a personal decision for each individual to make' und 'his or her absolute right'.

Das Ältestenhandbuch von 2010 wies Älteste an, sofort das Zweigbüro anzurufen, wenn sie von einer Beschuldigung erfahren, niemals nahezulegen, dass jemand keine Anzeige bei der Polizei erstatten solle, und zu sagen, die Entscheidung über eine Anzeige 'is a personal decision for each individual to make' und 'his or her absolute right'.

Die Position der Organisation oder ihre spätere Erklärung: Die Organisation berief sich darauf als Nachweis, dass sie nie von einer Anzeige abgeraten habe; die Kommission nannte dies 'a passive policy' und erklärte, die Begründung mit dem 'absolute right' 'does nothing to protect' eine beschwerdeführende Person, die noch ein Kind ist (Bericht S. 61-62).

"Shepherd the Flock of God" (ks10-E), elders' handbook, 2010 edition, “Chapter 12 (Handling Certain Judicial Matters), 'Child Abuse', pars. 18-21”

2010 · pp.131-132 · pars. 18-19 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Child abuse is a crime. Never suggest to anyone that they should not report an allegation of child abuse to the police or other authorities. If you are asked, make it clear that whether to report the matter to the authorities or not is a personal decision for each individual to make and that there are no congregation sanctions for either decision.”

Par. 19, pp. 131-132. Par. 18: 'You should immediately call the branch office for direction if you learn of an accusation of child abuse, regardless of the age of the victim now or at the time of the alleged abuse'. A margin note refers elders to the 1 October 2012 letter. This is the edition the Australian Royal Commission examined in 2015.

“Although the position is not clear in relation to a few files, there is otherwise no evidence before the Royal Commission of the Jehovah's Witness organisation having reported to police or other secular authority a single one of the 1,006 alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse recorded in the case files held by Watchtower Australia.”

P. 60.
