Stephane - "...The baseline problem here is that WT does not collaborate with the cops."
Par for the course, really, considering the Org - ultimately - views the police as agents of "Satan's World"...

Damn, I almost missed this bit...
from Bundy's article - "...A 2014 memo to elders in all U.S. congregations directs elders to maintain 'strict confidentiality' and 'avoid unnecessary entanglement with secular authorities' in matters of assault, rape, child abuse and murder..."
"...and murder..."?
Seriously???
Once again, I find myself asking, incredulously, "are they crazy, or just plain stupid?"

Ironic really, since calling the cops would probably be the first thing they did if they saw someone vandalizing one of their precious KHs.
I wonder, if it was an active JWs that did this, would they turn him in to the cops?

Simon - "It's hard to imagine what their thought process is behind it even."
I can hazard a few guesses:
"Don't do anything that might publicly embarrass the Org..."
"Don't give 'Satan's World' any pretext to take action against the Org..."
"Don't take any action that might make it look like we're allowing "Satan's World" to force us to compromise our
policiesBiblical principles..."Don't take any action that might result in preventing the appointment of 'qualified brothers' from running the Org at the grassroots level ('cause we're starting to run a bit low)..."
"Don't give any reason for the rank-and-file to doubt the Org's status as 'God's Earthly Organization' ('cause, let's face it, it's really the only thing keeping a lot of them in)..."
"Armageddon's dropping any day now, and God's got our back, anyway, so any mistakes we make will be rendered moot..."
Just off the top of my head.

Maybe after DFing him for apostasy.

Ok, so, lets say someone vandalizes a kingdom hall. There is only one other person that sees him do it. The perpetrator denies it. So, only one witness. Do you think they'd report it to the police anyway?

LOL probably not.
