VIDEO: Watchtower Records Management... and destruction

[Jack Ryan]

Watchtower Records Management (57 minutes)

Why is it that we have 'Records Management' now? We've been functioning as an organization for years.

Well we know that 'the scene of this world is changing', and we know that Satan is coming after us, and he is going to go for us legally. We can see by the way that things are shaping up.

So the organization has said - 'We've run into difficulties in the past, because of the records we have' - so the Coordinators Committee said we want to systematically handle records at all Branches...

In here it mentions that there is a 'Certificate of Destruction', that's the piece that we want to show you next...

Here is the video being shown worldwide:

Here is the original full length recording:

There is nothing wrong in destroying records, any organisation is perfectly well within in their rights to destroy all records. There are statutory requirements on length of retention of certain records on certain subject matters etc that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but on the whole you can destroy any records in line with your own internal management systems. There should in fact be no records detailing criminality as the organisation and individuals have a mandatory reporting responsibility. The conversation would go roughly like this:

“Did A report sexual misconduct in X year?” “No” “Why did you destroy those records?” “It was in line with the IMS” “Did you take notes of the conversation you had with x?” “No. And even if X had reported sexual misconduct I would not have needed to take any notes as I have a mandatory reporting responsibility. So when I destroyed the records I was not destroying records of criminality”

However (and I’ve only seen 43 seconds of a leaked video) there is a caveat to this. You can destroy records to save space; to protect privacy; even to protect commercial in confidence information. What you can’t do, and certainly shouldn’t say at the start of your presentation, is destroy records solely on the basis that those records would be used against you in civil or criminal proceedings. That is showing clear intent to pervert the course of justice, even if no offence has been committed. It’s the same reason why you can’t take your number plates off your car or file down the serial number on your guns.

This is fake news...

@Bob white That is what the Watchtower Lawyers will hope the Judges says when confronted with the charge of destruction of records with THE INTENT to avoid legal problems.

Thanks to this video.... the INTENT doesn't even have to be proven. This video sealed that problem.

This is made to sound in the newspaper article as if ALL notes on a judicial matter are destroyed. An official copy of the proceeding is to be kept no matter what. What they want to avoid is the inclusion of multiple notes taken by all the elders that include personal comments, sometimes questions going through their heads to ask or get answered before a decision. Sometimes these, since they weren't meant to be critiqued, can appear to be contradictory or incriminating to one side or another even if they were not intended that way.

Also, it is very misleading to say that the rules require a sexual assault victim to go out and find two witnesses. It shows that they are ignorant of the fact that the victim himself (or herself) is already a witness to the crime. Without a confession of course the idea of a second witness is still very unlikely, but circumstantial evidence will be heard from a second witness, and a second witness can be another victim of the same crime from same abuser.

Did you hear archive? Any criminal case where one has to defend oneself is archived which must be kept in perpetuity. Get a life!!
