Documents reveal huge pedophile ring operating within Jehovah's Witnesses church

Leaked internal documents from the Jehovah’s Witnesses church reveal a cover-up of a huge pedophile ring operating within the highest ranks of the church. 

According to thirty-three letters and internal documents leaked on Tuesday by FaithLeaks, officials at the Jehovah’s Witnesses church have covered-up numerous allegations of child rape between 1999 and 2012.

Newsweek.com reports: In 1999, a committee of church elders determined that the allegations of two young women who said their father had sexually abused them were true. One of the young women said she had been tied to a bed by her father and had her vagina examined for signs of masturbation when she was as young as five. The accuser’s sister also said her father had started to “fondle and touch” her when she was only three years old. The woman also said she was repeatedly raped by her father between the ages of eight and 12. The young woman said her father would sit on her bed and cry and pray after raping her.

“Our impression upon speaking with both girls was similar. That they are both quite rational. It certainly appears that these were real events,” the letter to Watchtower, signed “with warm Christian love” from the Palmer Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses of Brimfield, Massachusetts, reads.

Nevertheless, the church leaders opted not to take action immediately because one of the accusers did not want to face her father and make a formal complaint, an action required by the church’s judicial committee. An in-church trial was eventually held years later, which resulted in the temporary and brief excommunication of the father.

The documents reveal that church leaders pressured the accuser and her husband not to report the abuse to secular law enforcement officials. Police had questioned the accused man, but official charges were never brought against him.

The same man was also accused of raping another young woman who was not a relative. The church documents reveal that church elders doubted the woman’s credibility because she said her eyes were closed during the assault.

The names of the accusers and the accused are redacted in the documents to protect their privacy.

This is not the first time the Jehovah’s Witnesses church has been accused of sexual abuse. In 2014, a San Diego judge ordered Watchtower to award $13.5 million to a man who was abused by a church leader when he was just seven years old. Six others also sued Watchtower because they had been sexually abused by the same church leader, but the cases were settled out of court.

The Center for Investigative Reporting’s site Reveal claims that Watchtower has “systematically instructed leaders to keep sexual abuse secret from law enforcement.”

Watchtower did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

  1. ARE THERE ANY RELIGIOUS CULTS IN EXISTENCE WITHOUT SOCIOPATHS AND PSYCHOPATHS THAT PREY UPON THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDREN?

    • No…these are satans cults/churches.. that’s what satan does…. he corrupts God’s creation… especially innocent children….but soon he will face his sentence

      Revelation 20:10King James Version (KJV)

      10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

      • EVEN MORE HORRIFIC IS THE GENITAL MUTILATION OF CHILDREN AND THE PRESCRIBING OF HORMONES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHANGING THEIR NATURAL BIRTH MTF, MALE TO FEMALE OR FTM BORN FEMALE TO MALE FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE TRANSGENDER AGENDA BY THEIR SATANIST PARENTS WHO ARE ALSO TRANSGENDERED.

  2. I am a Jehovahs witness and would like too say that we have a 0 tollerance for pedophiles doing anything inappropriate in the congregation. We are a theocratic organization meaning we follow the Bible strictly in all our decisions in and out of the congregation. We believe in ,( applying ), bible principles in our everyday lives. Whoever wrote this article is obviously a hater of our beliefs. I will tell you exactlly the official policies in our Brotherhood of Christian families. First of all we all recognize we all are sinners, being born into it because of the sins of our first parents Adam and Eve who both failed in the garden of eden, so just as Jesus stated we all are sinners and are in need of help. But that has conditions on our attitude and our feelings of remorse regarding our sins we have committed . As i stated we have 0 tollerance for pedophiles doing anything inappropriate in and out of the congregation if the pedophile is having anything too do with us. ( Obviously we cant do much with pedophiles outside of our realm) .Children are protected by n ever being left alone with a pedophile. Also they are watched constantly withing the meetings and outside so that children are never left alone. If a pedophile wishes too study the Bible with one of our brothers , or sisters, the one conducting the study must let our congregation Elders know of their disposition so special precautions can be taken. Their is no pedophile rings in the congregation i can assure you all of that. The photo at top is totally wrong and looks like a bible study in someones basement and looks too be Baptist, or some other religious organization. Please keep in mind that even in the 1st century congregations they had problems with wicked men infiltrating the Christian congregation, and so Jehovah had it put into writting that any such man, or woman, who willfully sins unrepentantly should be removed from the congregation. We are strict so as too keep the congregation free of those who might try too corrupt Bible based beliefs. , and btw what we are doing is Exactly what the 1st century Christians did. They also witnessed door too door too spread the gospel so i dont know how Alexi Postotos is coming up with us being like he stated. We are preaching Gods Kingdom from Heaven is the answer too mankinds problems, NOT satans way. We are the opposite of him, as we strictly follow the BIbles teachings , and of course Jesus”s.The Catholic Church has openly stated that we need the N.W.O. in direct opposition too our Lord and King Jesus Christ who states that he is King, and we should look too him and his Kingdom given too him by his Father , for hope, NOT MANS! OH yeah and Mary up above in your comment ,, i totally agree with you and your comment.
