Watchtower lawyers at it again

"Three ministers or elders of the Tinian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses are asking the Superior Court to quash the government's subpoena that commands them to appear at a jury trial of a man accused of sexually abusing a girl. Bob Morie, Emyl Lumba, and Dwight Manglona stated in their motion that the subpoena would be burdensome and oppressive since it requires the disclosure of privileged and protected information. Morie, Lumba, and Manglona asserted that the subpoena would require them to testify and reveal privileged confessions, admissions, information, and or confidential communications that are privileged under the Federal Rules of Evidence."

COMMENTARY: This is why Jehovah is going to gut the Watchtower Society like a catfish. What is numero uno requirement for elders? Jehovah is pretty clear about it. Look after orphans and widows and remain without spot from the world.
So, here is a child that gets molested or seduced in a congregation. A man who is part of the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is brought to stand trial before the civil authorities for the crimes he has committed against an innocent child in the congregation, whom Jehovah has charged the elders to watch over and protect. In the 13th chapter of Roman Paul explained that Christians are to cooperate with the civil authorities who are God's ministers to punish the wicked. But instead of allowing the elders to do that, the Watchtower's lawyers file a motion, which the pedophile's lawyer agrees with, to prevent the court from calling the elders to help prosecute the criminal.
Any JW's who defend this wicked policy out of mind-numbed, stupid organizational loyalty are going to get a good thrashing too when the whip comes down.
"A Superior Court jury came back yesterday with a not-guilty verdict on a 27-year-old man accused of sexually abusing a girl in 2004. This developed as the prosecution decided yesterday not to call to the witness stand three ministers or elders of the Tinian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in the trial of Geoffrey K. Cabrera.
After deliberating for almost four hours, the Tinian Superior Court jurors reached a verdict that found Cabrera not guilty of sexual abuse in the second degree.
Associate Judge David A. Wiseman presided over the trial. Joseph N. Camacho, court-appointed counsel for Cabrera, told Saipan Tribune last night that they are thankful to the jurors for their time and their deliberations.
“We extend our appreciation to the hard working staff of the Tinian courthouse and to the judiciary,” Camacho said.
Jehovah's Witnesses Tinian congregation ministers Bob Morie, Emyl Lumba, and Dwight Manglona earlier asked the Superior Court to quash the subpoena that commands them to appear at the jury trial, saying this would be burdensome and oppressive since it requires the disclosure of privileged and protected information.
The alleged victim and defendant are members of Jehovah's Witnesses. Cabrera was accused of sexually abusing a then 14-year-old girl in May 2004 on Tinian."

ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY:
The Watchtower's legal team has assisted in allowing yet another accused sexual criminal to go unpunished by Jehovah's civil ministers. Their desire to avoid the "burdensome and oppresive" act of having to speak the truth in a court of law is placed above acting in behalf of Jehovah's abused sheep and protecting children in the commuity at large. May Jehovah and Christ Jesus listen from the heavens and reward them according to their deeds!
