Been researching the Mormons a little since they are quite similar to the JWs. They have a similar webpage and many videos to "help" the Mormons in their faith. I found this video done by abc4 news:
Could this be the future for the Watchtower?

These are the possible outcomes I can see:
Case 1: He testifies and makes a fool out of himself - bad publicity. Most JWs will not know what was actually said and can dismiss news articles as lies by Satan's media
Case 2: He testifies and nothing "damaging" is said - unaltered publicity. Same outcome as if he never testified.
Case 3: He testifies and smooth talks the RC - OK publicity. JWs nods along to his words and the watchtower (to the JWs) is absolved of any pedophile protection accusation(they are eager to swallow any explanation given by the GB).
Case 4: He flees the country - very bad publicity. Hard for JWs to explain away if they learn about it, maybe; he must have had his reasons etc...
Case 5: McClellan lets him go for compassionate reasons or otherwise - unaltered publicity. Same as if he was never called to testify.
we haven't been to a meeting or jw event in several years.
we have been following the rc closely.
it is fascinating!

vincent tool said that he is exclusively working the phones for child abuse cases, but never said he is not the only one.
for now, let's assume the rate of abuse cases averages over time to the three or four cases he gets per month.
let's further assume that, since he isn't the only person working the phones and is on vacation at some point, the number is 4-5 per month, or 4.5 per month.
I was thinking the same thing.
68 000 publishers = 4.5 each month or 54 that year.
1971 there where around 23 000 publishers which would be around 1.5 each month or 18 that year.
54+18=72
72*22=1584
So since 1971 (44 years) there should have been around 1584 phone calls regarding this issue to the legal department. (if the number is consistent and if the requirement to contact the legal department had been in place)
