Open Letter/Press Release.
Founder of Ex JWs United in Christ, threatens to name and shame “all” acting Elders in the
Jehovah’s Witness Church’s throughout the UK who are Charity Trustees yet refuse to conform to
the Charity Commission’s regulations and laws of the land when it comes to its duty of care to
children, be they inside the church or in the general public, by unlawfully covering up paedophilia
within in its ranks. First to be named and shamed are Jehovah’s Witness church elders Harry
Logan, Simon Preyser and David Scott all of whom had first-hand knowledge of a paedophile
member in their midst since 2009 yet failed in their moral duty to inform the Charity Commission
or Law Enforcement. Indeed the men refused to make statements to police until just hours before
they were called as witnesses before the jury at Newcastle Crown Court on 16 July 2013 after
which the child sex offender Jehovah Witness ministerial servant Gordon Leighton was found
guilty and subsequently sentenced to 13 years behind bars. But what of the Elders themselves
asks Mr. Ellis Ph.D and the secret unlawful culture “ALL” Elders strictly adhere too? should they
be permitted to fly in the face of Charity Regulations, Child Protection and law enforcement
agencies, or as Judge Moreland indicated in this case, the best interest of children and public is
best served when such secrecy is deemed unlawful? Indeed this is not the first time such
deliberate unlawful secrecy has taken place only to surface years later, as in the case of victim
Alison Cousins, and countless others as revealed by BBC Panorama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFx85HlleUw where yet again church Elders/Charity Trustees
knew for many years that Ian Cousins, Elder James Barrett and others were paedophiles within
according to the Watchtower Society’s own database and raises the moral question, can the
Charity Commission continue to justify giving its backing and respectable status to this religious
organization, an organization that demands that unless there are two or more witnesses to any
crime be it child molestation or any other, no action can or will be taken on behalf of a victim or
safeguards imposed to protect the vulnerable from possible sex abuse etc.? Surely therefore it
behoves the Charity Commissions regulatory body and the Crown Prosecution Service to take
action against elders/trustees, in the full knowledge that the worldwide church of Jehovah’s
witnesses is controlled by a governing body who’s very latest dictate to all its Elders dated
October 1, 2012, is in essence as follows 'Privileged communication between elders and
members of the congregation is an absolute right and duty to God and there is no power in man-
made laws to breach such a confidence!' Not so says Ex Jehovah’s Witnesses United in Christ,
Church Elders/Charity Trustees acting with impunity is neither acceptable to God whom they claim
to represent nor indeed anyone living in a civilized society. Indeed I can do no better in our
defence and support of child abuse victims than to cite the following quote “Bad men need
nothing more to achieve their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing”
and do nothing we pledge not to do!

disclose wrongdoing we have a copy.
OPEN LETTER
Dear Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC MP, Attorney General such is the extent of cover-ups
within the Jehovah’s Witness Church’s when it comes to paedophilia that innocent
children both inside and out are at great risk. As for the victims they have no one to
turn to within the church so they are made to suffer in silence. It is for this reason
that we at www.exjws-united.com/child%20abuse.htm intend to speak out in the
hope that the powers that be and general public say enough is enough and bring to
justice all those who wilfully cover-up such abuse and make it a punishable offence
for church elders to breach “the Children Act 2004. The Children Act 2004 places a
duty on organisations to safeguard and promote the well-being of children and young
people. This includes the need to ensure that all adults who work with, or on behalf of
children and young people in these organisations are competent, confident and safe
to do so. Everyone working with children and young people should be familiar with
local procedures and protocol for safeguarding the welfare of children and young
people. Adults have a duty to report any child protection or welfare concerns to a
designated member of staff in their organisation and/or report any concerns to local
Children's Services/Police” and in this case to the Charity Commission for indeed
elders are charity trustees also! Questions need to be asked why the three church
elders in the following case were not prosecuted?
