To the attention Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses,
For over 50 years, that we know of, your organisation has allowed accused and/or confirmed child molesters to be protected from the consequences of their actions. This is completely unacceptable. You are ruining the lives of countless numbers of Jehovah's Witnesses as you punish anyone who speaks out against your organisation.
Victims who go to the elders for help are frequently turned away since you require either two eyewitnesses or a second eyewitness to such crimes before the child or victim's accusations are even considered. This requirement, plus your flat refusal to inform local law enforcement agencies of such crimes, prevents child molesters from being prosecuted. This prevents child molesters from being prosecuted as they need to be caught in the act of abusing a child, or have the testimony of another abused child in order for your elders to do anything. This is quite obviously an attempt to keep the good reputation of the local congregation and the entire organisation. Now your organisation has a reputation as a safe haven for paedophiles. Is that really the name you want to make for Jehovah God? Because of how you handle this Issue, less and less people are being ‘saved’ by the ‘good news’ you preach about and more will die at armageddon that is ‘soon approaching’ In your own teachings, this bad witness would make you blood guilty. How can you sleep at night if you truly believe what you teach?
So do you want to become a safe haven for paedophiles more than you already are? Do you honestly think child molesters don’t talk to one another? Do you really believe they won’t use your organisation to groom kids when they know that they can get away with it? Do you understand that child molestation is up there with murder in level of heinous crime? It is disgusting. You ‘abhor’ child abuse in the same manner you ‘abhor’ homosexuality, fornication, and adultery. You just don’t like it. You don’t even care enough to stop it as quickly as you will stop the other ‘sins’.
If you really care about saving souls, or children’s well-being, do the right thing. Protect children. The reputation of men is worthless compared to the well-being of a child. Until you can admit that, then you are actually more wicked than the world you so often denunciate.
Do you want more people to join your religion? Say you’re sorry. Apologise for your deeds. Admit that you’re nothing but imperfect men.
Which will garner more respect from God? Don’t allow known or suspected criminal pedophiles and sexual predators to ever serve in positions of oversight, and above all report ALL allegations of child molestation or sexually predatory behaviors to the PROPER AUTHORITIES!
Ignoring a child who has been molested or raped, because the child had no other witnesses, is evil beyond comprehension. Ask yourself, what would Jesus do?
I think we all know the answer. He wouldn’t have protected the privacy and reputation of child molesters. So choose wisely, be like Jesus or be like Satan. There are really only two options here.
In deepest concern,

Your sickening demand for two eyewitnesses to the criminal act of pedophilia is obviously an attempt to maintain the façade of a ‘good reputation’ for congregations and the Watch Tower organization as a whole. However such bizarre requirements on your part have resulted in your organisation gaining a thoroughly unsavory reputation as a safe haven for paedophiles.
Is that really the name you want to make for Jehovah God? Because of your mishandling of this Issue, less and less people are being ‘saved’ by the ‘good news’ you preach about and more will die at that "Armageddon" that is ‘soon approaching’. According to your own teachings, the terrible witness you've performed for the world will make you blood guilty. How can you sleep at night if you truly believe what you teach?
Your recent reinforcement of the ‘two eyewitnesses’ rule demonstrates that your organization continues to embrace the existence of a ‘pedophiles' paradise’ within your ranks. You obviously have no true concern for the Jehovah's Witness children subjected to your control, and clearly you have little to no knowledge of pedophile behaviors like the grooming of children & the parents of children selected to be victimized by such horrific predators.
Among ’The World’ the crime of child molestation is up there with murder in its level of heinous crime. It is disgusting. You claim to ‘abhor’ child abuse in the same manner you abhor homosexuality, fornication, and adultery. Yet you don’t even care enough to stop it in the way you will stop the other ‘sins’.
Do you want more people to join your religion? Apologize for the horrifically wrong-headed policies you continue to cling to. Admit that you’ve been wrong in your mishandling of such criminal cases. CHANGE YOUR POLICIES.
Which will garner more respect from God? Don’t allow known or suspected criminal pedophiles and sexual predators to ever serve in positions of oversight, and above all report ALL allegations of child molestation or sexually predatory behaviors to the PROPER AUTHORITIES!.

In deepest concern,
Dear Governing Body of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania (and shell corporations);
You have allowed pedophiles to get away with raping children for many years now. This is completely unacceptable. You are ruining the lives of countless Jehovah's Witnesses as you kick out anybody that goes to the police. Anybody who goes to the elders for help is turned away if they lack a second eyewitness to the crime. This prevents pedophiles and rapists from being 'disciplined' as according to your rules they must be caught red handed before the elders will discipline them, and such cases are almost never turned over to the proper authorities.
Clearly this is done in an attempt to protect the organization's reputation, which has been a spectacular failure since the Jehovah's Witnesses now have the reputation of being a safe haven for paedophiles. This is not what you want, is it? Because of your dishonest mishandling of this Issue, less and less people are being saved by the good news you preach about and more will die at Armageddon that is soon approaching (or so you claim).
It is up to you. Do you want continuous bad PR for allowing children to be raped by sexual predators - criminals within the ranks of the Jehovah's Witness members? Do you want to allow the paedophiles more opportunities to reoffend, causing more children to suffer at the hands of vicious sexual predators within your ranks? The Watch Tower Society's permissive laxness will prompt more paedophilic rapists to join the organization, since they know they can victimize children with impunity within your organization. The negative feedback loop will lead to more children being victimized as more paedophiles join, knowing that they can get away with their crimes. There is communication within the filthy subculture of pedophiles; they talk with each other, and no doubt word of your "pedophile's paradise" has spread throughout that community of the vilest sort of criminals.
Your organization has publicly and officially claimed that you do your utmost to protect children. Unfortunately you have thoroughly put the lie to such claims by allowing your organisation to be a safe haven for paedophile rapists! Which is better? Public relations demonstrating how you kick out paedophiles who rape children? Or the ugly revelations & discoveries being mentioned in increasing numbers of news outlets that the Jehovah's Witness organisation protects paedophiles from being prosecuted because of your ridiculous demand that the child victims need TWO eyewitnesses to each and every ‘one of such crimes?
