After watching "The Fifth Estate" and knowing that the Legal department at Bethel has a list of offenders, by law, cant someone demand a copy of that list? This probably was talked about years ago, but I just saw it, so Im a little behind. Hasnt the law just changed, that all clergy have to report these situations? If so, what about past situations? Just wondering if someone knows more about this subject.

Like everyone else in the USA, the Watchtower does have rights, and while they may be compelled to turn over such a list in connection with active litigation, it is extremely likely that the Watchtower would object to such a discovery demand and would be successful in obtaining a protective order (due to the legal privacy interests involved) that would prohibit the parties and their attorneys from disclosing such a list to anyone other than those actively involved as parties or attorneys in the underlying litigation. Failure to honor such a protective order could result in the imposition of contempt sanctions against those responsible for such non-compliance.

I'd be very surprised if the list the WT claimed to have wasn't "accidentally" shredded or burned.
