Anonymous must know that getting this list could be pretty difficult if the Watchtower Society simply disconnects any computer with the data on it from the Internet. This makes me wonder if they might already have the list and are just waiting for a good time to announce it.

The Watchtower Society has a policy of removing elders and pedophiles from their positions if they are known by the community or congregation as being pedophiles. If only the elders and headquarters know about it, the pedophiles are sometimes allowed to remain in the position. If this list is made public, it would result in certain pedophiles being removed from positions of authority. I see that as a big win for victims. Sure they might move somewhere else, but not as elders. If they change their names, they would have to start over and it could years to rebuild the level of trust that they had before. Releasing the list could also result in police investigations for cases that the Watchtower Society has managed to keep concealed.
The Watchtower Society has made a situation where innocent people have been harmed and will continue to be harmed (both victims of abuse and those wrongly accused), but I think publicizing the list is necessary to remove pedophiles as elders and ministerial servants and to alert parents of potential dangers in their own congregations.

I remember when Anonymous went after Scientology a few years ago. It generated a lot of discussion here and comments that it would be nice if they went after Jehovah's Witnesses. Now that it has happened, it curious that we aren't talking about it more. Anyways, here's a bump for those who haven't seen it yet.

The Watchtower Society Sends Known Sexual Predators To People's Homes - How Can We Alert The Public?
by DT ini find it incredible that the public doesn't know this.
the watchtower society is showing callous disregard for the rights and safety of the public.. i really think we need to make an effort to get the word out.
the watchtower society and child abuse are in the news now, especially with the candace conti case and the recent actions of anonymous.. do you think we can get a newspaper interested in covering this story?

LITS,
I found your comments interesting and appreciate what you have done to let people know about this problem.
It's hard to believe that people don't care more about this. It sometimes takes a strange set of circumstances to get the public to care about something. I'm encouraged that Anonymous sees this as an important problem. It's always possible that increasing coverage of the child abuse problem within Jehovah's Witnesses will reach a tipping point.

Thank you for your comments. I thought it was noteworthy that the latest video from Anonymous mentions the practice of sending pedophiles to people's doors. This could make it much easier to get some news coverage about this dangerous practice.

Perhaps we can gather the documentation of this practice and discuss some ideas. What do you think?

I'm sure there are a number of precautions that can be taken to protect that list, but the biggest concern might be the fact that they cant really trust the workers at bethel. If I were at Bethel and had access to that list, I think I would make a copy to protect myself in case I got downsized or was made a scapegoat for their legal troubles.

I bet the Watchtower Society will be more reluctant to send take down notices on YouTube and other sites. It may be their legal right to do so, in some cases, but it is an unpopluar move for a cult to take down information that the public should be aware of. I believe this was a factor in the anonymous attack against Scientology a few years ago. Scientology kept trying to take down that infamous Tom Cruise video and it backfired.

If I understand it correctly, the Watchtower list of pedophiles only contains names where there were at least two witnesses. That's a pretty high standard. It's possible that a few are innocent, but there would be good reason to remove all of them from any positions of authority. However, it's very plausible that some are still serving as elders or ministerial servants. This would be a pr disaster if the list was released.
There is also the problem that these people are encouraged to go door to door. I think the public really needs to be made aware of this.
