They already have a coverup, namely that they are the one true religion, the only way to God.

BADBOY- JW's already participate regularly in coverups ! All the time. Especially the leaders of the cult. And they put the rank and file members under " information control" or " information lockdown " so they will not hear of the coverups - especially concerning the child abuse crisis in the organization ! Why do you think the governing body did NOT want Jehovah's Witness members to watch the Dateline special on child abuse in 2002 ? It would reveal too much. So many JW's are already participating in coverups

Should anyone be involved in coverups? It depends on what's being covered up and who's covering it up. That's a very vague question badboy

A few years ago I read a book about family secrets and the damage they do to members of the family
It was a fascinating examination of the things we don't openly acknowledge to each other. When there are secrets then we must hold back sometimes the things that most needs to be dealt with. Secrets create barriers to open communication. There is always that which divides us, even when we aren't aware of what is being held back or that there is something.
If I hold back a part of myself, a part of who I am as a person, then I cannot be truly authentic with another person. It results in a slow death of the relationship. This doen't mean I need to spill my guts to everyone.
I think the same applies to any relationship whether it is a personal relationship or a collective one. If we all choose to ignore the pile of elephant manure in the center of the living room then we can't deal with it. Our view of someone on the other is obstructed. I may have grown up with the pile in the middle of the room and thought it was normal. I might get a glimmer of what it might be but if everyone else is ignoring it then I learn to ignore it too.
Coverups, even when you don't know they are there are destructive. Period
