A Sentinela de 1.º de novembro de 1995 instruiu que, quando uma acusação de abuso é negada e não há uma segunda testemunha, os anciãos devem explicar “que nada mais pode ser feito em sentido judicativo” e que “a congregação continuará a considerar o acusado como pessoa inocente”.

A Sentinela de 1.º de novembro de 1995 instruiu que, quando uma acusação de abuso é negada e não há uma segunda testemunha, os anciãos devem explicar “que nada mais pode ser feito em sentido judicativo” e que “a congregação continuará a considerar o acusado como pessoa inocente”. The Watchtower, 1 de novembro de 1995Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, outubro de 2016

A posição da organização ou explicação posterior: A passagem está numa consideração sobre “memórias reprimidas”; o artigo de 2019 da organização agora diz que a ausência de uma segunda testemunha “não significa que quem faz a acusação não esteja dizendo a verdade” ( par. 16).

The Watchtower, “Comfort for Those With a "Stricken Spirit"”

1 de novembro de 1995 · pp.25-29 · section 'Repressed Memories', par. beginning 'If the accusation is denied' · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“If the accusation is denied, the elders should explain to the accuser that nothing more can be done in a judicial way. And the congregation will continue to view the one accused as an innocent person. The Bible says that there must be two or three witnesses before judicial action can be taken. (2 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19)”

Written in the context of adults recovering 'repressed memories' of childhood abuse; instructs elders what to do when only one accuser exists and the accused denies it. The Royal Commission cited this article as still informing procedure in 2015 (Case Study 29 report p. 25, p. 64).

“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.”
