El artículo independiente que la organización publica actualmente para las víctimas de la violencia doméstica afirma que el maltratador es responsable de sus propios actos, remite al lector a un amigo de confianza, a una línea de ayuda contra la violencia doméstica y a los servicios de emergencia, describe cómo preparar un plan de seguridad, y dice a quien ayude a una víctima que refuerce la confianza de ella para tomar sus propias decisiones y que no le diga lo que debe hacer. No trata de la sujeción, ni de la separación, ni de ganar a un esposo no creyente.

La posición de la organización o su explicación posterior: La Atalaya de enero de 2025, dirigida a los esposos, reconoce que algunos esposos testigos de Jehová 'have even abused their wife' y expone seis pasos para un esposo maltratador, el quinto de los cuales es buscar la ayuda de los ancianos de la congregación. Ese artículo no menciona denunciar el caso a las autoridades civiles.

JW.org (More Topics series), “Help for Victims of Domestic Abuse—You Are Not Alone”

· Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Hotlines for victims of domestic violence may offer immediate support. Those who work these hotlines can help you develop a safety plan. . . . Other emergency resources can help you if you are in immediate danger. These resources may include doctors, nurses, or other trained professionals.”

The organisation's current stand-alone article for victims. It opens with World Health Organization and United Nations figures, states plainly that 'Your abuser is responsible for his actions', lists a trusted friend, a domestic violence hotline and emergency services as sources of help, and tells anyone supporting a victim to 'build up her confidence in her ability to make her own decisions . . . But do not tell her what she should do.'

Nota de procedencia y verificación for JW.org (More Topics series), Help for Victims of Domestic Abuse—You Are Not Alone

Nota de confianza. The article was read in full on the Watchtower Online Library on 19 September 2026 (cited there as 'mrt article 16') and the jw.org page was opened separately to confirm the public address and the opening paragraphs. The page carries no publication date, so none is recorded.

Notes. The article does not discuss separation, divorce, submission, or winning an unbelieving husband over, and it does not mention the congregation or its elders at all. A footnote states that it refers to the victim as female but that many of the points apply to male victims.

The Watchtower (study edition), “Husbands, Honor Your Wife”

enero de 2025 · pp.8-13 · pars. 4, 6, 14 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Sadly, some of them have been influenced by the thinking of the world and have even abused their wife.”

A study article addressed to husbands. It names physical abuse, verbal abuse, pornography and sexually demeaning treatment as conduct that dishonours a wife, says that Jehovah 'specifically condemns husbands who abuse their wife' and that such a husband's prayers may not be heard, and sets out six steps for a husband who has abused his wife.
