On or about June 30, 2002, thousands of Jehovah's Witness elders around the world received a letter from "The Worldwide
Christian Community" urging them fully to take on their voluntary responsibility as "shepherds of the flock of God"
with respect to child molestation that occurs among their "flock." The letter urges them to exercise Godly "goodness"
as opposed to Pharisaic "righteousness" by dealing appropriately with child molesters, rather than following the
policies of the Watchtower Society which, in practice, require two eye-witnesses to an act of molestation before elders
are allowed to "remove the wicked man" from their midst.
