O manual dos anciãos de 2010 orientava os anciãos a telefonar imediatamente ao escritório da filial ao tomarem conhecimento de uma acusação, a nunca sugerir que alguém deixasse de comunicar o caso à polícia e a dizer que denunciar ou não “é uma decisão pessoal que cabe a cada um tomar” e “um direito absoluto seu”.

A posição da organização ou explicação posterior: A organização apoiou-se nisso para mostrar que nunca desestimulou a denúncia; a Comissão chamou isso de “uma política passiva” e disse que a justificativa do “direito absoluto” “não faz nada para proteger” um denunciante que ainda é criança (relatório, pp. 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. Other key passages: p. 58 (files since 1950 record allegations against 1,006 members; 579 admissions; at least 1,800 alleged victims); p. 59 ('The numbers tell their own story'); p. 61 ('We are satisfied that it is the general practice of the Jehovah's Witness organisation in Australia not to report allegations of child sexual abuse to the police or other authorities unless required to do so by law'); p. 65 (two-witness rule: 'retention of and continued application of the rule to a complaint of child sexual abuse is wrong'); p. 67 (men-only decision-making is 'a fundamental flaw'); p. 69 ('places children within the organisation at significant risk'); p. 70 (BCG 'completely shunned, ostracised and actively avoided'); p. 77 ('We do not consider the Jehovah's Witness organisation to be an organisation which responds adequately to child sexual abuse').
