    TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS IN AUSTRALIA

    Dear Brothers:

    Some questions have arisen concerning the statement on page 2 of our letter To All Congregations in Australia dated August 28, 2002: "We have long instructed elders to report allegations of child abuse to the authorities where required by law to do so, even where there is only one witness." This statement needs to be understood in the following context: (1) This was a general letter addressed to the congregation and not specifically to the elders; and (2) the Society has long instructed elders to follow the following procedure:

    "When elders receive reports of physical or sexual abuse of a child, they should contact the Society's Legal Department immediately. Victims of such abuse need to be protected from further danger."-See letter AB:AS To All Bodies of Elders, August 25, 1989, page 3.

    "When a member of the congregation is accused of child molestation, the elders should contact the Society immediately. Some states make it mandatory that elders report an accusation to the proper authorities but other states do not. ... Before speaking to the one accused, the elders should contact the Society."-See letter SA To All Bodies of Elders November 1, 1995, page 1.

    It must be appreciated that the question of child abuse is a complicated matter and that there can be no blanket direction given to the elders throughout the country, or even state by state. Whether or not they are "required by law to do so," can only be determined at the time when elders contact the Society after receiving a report of child abuse. If the law requires them to report the matter, the Society has always, at that time, advised elders to do so. Since there is no clear precise legal definition of "child abuse," and since laws may vary from state to state and are changed from time to time, it is only when all the facts of a particular case are available that proper direction can be given in such matters.Some elders have been concerned about the question of confidentiality, having in mind what the Scriptures say on the subject. (Proverbs 11:13; 15:22) If, after contacting the Society, it is determined that the elders should report a matter such as child abuse to the authorities, it wouldnot be considered to be a breach of confidentiality to make such a report. At times, there may be other Bible principles that must be weighed against the need for confidentiality. (For example, see Awake! January 22, 1985, page 8.) Nevertheless, elders should always be conscious of their Scriptural responsibility to keep matters confidential. In this way they can be "like a hiding place from the wind and a place of concealment from the rainstorm." (Isaiah 32:2; See also The Watchtower April 1, 1971, pages 222-224.) However, there are times when elders must reveal confidential matters in order to protect the sheep. For example, Our Kingdom Ministry, April 1999, on page 7, stated:

    "The question has been asked whether elders should supply information to secular authorities when they learn that a brother or sister has been involved in a serious crime. ... If an elder learns of some serious crime on the part of a member of the congregation, they may, in some circumstances, be obliged to report the matter, or provide information to secular authorities."

    In all such cases, the elders would want to reach any decision to report the matter or provide information to secular authorities only after consultation with the Society, as stated in Our Kingdom Ministry:

    "Even in such cases, it is important that the elders maintain confidentiality to the extent possible, and elders should always contact the Society before providing any information on confidential matters to secular authorities."

    We also want to encourage you to continue providing follow-up assistance for those who have been victims of child abuse. From time to time, the Society has provided assistance to elders to help them to become more effective shepherds, genuinely interested in the welfare of individuals under their care. (1 Peter 5:2.) For example, some helpful articles are: "Help for Victims of Incest"-The Watchtower, October 1, 1983; "Child Molesting-Every Mother's Nightmare"-Awake! January 22, 1985; "How Can We Protect Our Children?" and "Prevention in the Home"-Awake! October 8, 1993; and "Let Us Abhor What Is Wicked!"-The Watchtower, January 1, 1997. While we do not take a secular approach in this regard, by imitating the tender qualities of our loving heavenly Father, Jehovah, and his Son, Jesus, much good can be accomplished in rendering assistance to those who have experienced abuse, or who have other distressing circumstances to deal with.-Matthew 11:28, 29.

    To assist in protecting our young children, we are now asking the body of elders to write to the Society before allowing a former child molester to receive any privileges in the congregation that would indicate congregational approval. This would include the handling of microphones, being an attendant, working with the literature, volunteering at a convention or assembly, or even auxiliary pioneering.

    We appreciate the time and effort you brothers expend in shepherding the sheep. Please accept our very warm Christian love and greetings.

    Your brothers,

    Watchtower P.S.I. Society OF AUSTRALIA CIRCUIT OVERSEER MEETS WITH ELDERS AND MINISTERIAL SERVANTS PROGRAM FROM SEPTEMBER 1998 THROUGH FEBRUARY 1999

    Theme: Serving With a Self-Sacrificing Spirit (Ro 12:1)

    Note to circuit overseer: Ministerial servants will be present for the first 45 minutes of this meeting. An additional 30 minutes will be spent with the elders only, covering pages 118-21 from the 1991 Kingdom Ministry School textbook. In advance, encourage elders to review this material and to bring their Kingdom Ministry School textbooks with them. The entire meeting, including the discussion of other matters on the agenda with the elders, should not exceed two hours

    TRODUCTION (5 min.)

    To sacrifice means to give up or surrender something valuable

    From early times, sacrifices have been a part of pure worship (Ge 4:3,4)

    Self-sacrificing spirit of willing service has always been evident among Jehovah's loyal servants, like the prophet Isaiah, the apostle Paul, "Bible" Brown, John Cutforth, and so on (Isa 6:8; Ac 16:9, 10; jv 433, 527-8)

    Christ's love compels us to sacrifice self-interests for Jehovah (Mt 16:24; Ro 12:1; 2Co 5:14, 15)

    What are some areas wherein elders and ministerial servants can display a self-sacrificing spirit?

    SET EXAMPLE AS A SELF-SACRIFICING EVANGELIZER (10 min.)

    Giving up time that might be used for personal pursuits to share in the ministry is self-sacrifice

    Jesus set the pattern, taking time to help others late into the evening and early in the morning (Mr 1:32-39) How much do we exert ourselves in the evangelizing work?

    Could you arrange to auxiliary pioneer at least once a year? (Eph 5:15, 16)

    Requires discipline and good scheduling (1Ti 4:10)

    By word and example, are you teaching your family to make sacrifices for Jehovah?

    Can family work together to help wife or children to pioneer instead of working full-time?

    e goal of each Christian should be to conduct at least one home Bible study with someone outside of his own household (km 8/901)

    A number do not conduct Bible studies because of the commitment of time and effort involved

    Could we make the adjustment and sacrifice an hour or two a week for this rewarding activity?

    By comparison, how much time is used for pleasures or entertainment?

    What is your spirit toward the Bible study activity?

    Do you hold back or put forth real effort to cultivate interest?

    Do you regularly pray for a Bible study?

    Such sacrifices to help others please Jehovah

    To a great degree, the congregation relies on your positive example

    Help others to enjoy what they are able to do; commend and encourage them (1Th 1:2,3)

    Your good example will allow freeness of speech

    Joys outweigh any inconveniences suffered

    Printed in Australia DO NOT NEGLECT SACRIFICES OF PRAISE AT CHRISTIAN MEETINGS (10 min.)

    Primary purpose of meetings is to praise Jehovah (Ps 26:12; w983/114)

    In many lands, brothers put forth extraordinary effort to attend and to help others to do so (yb97 235-6) Faith in Jehovah is involved in our willingness to sacrifice

    How could lack of faith in the living God affect meeting attendance? Weighing ourselves down with unnecessary things—excessive recreation, entertainment, extra secular work to obtain personal comforts—could interfere (Heb 12:1)

    Many must work hard just to get the necessities of life—food, clothing, and shelter

    Some allow secular work to take priority over attendance at meetings

    Jesus' counsel to 'seek first the Kingdom' meant not allowing anxiety over providing the necessities of life to interfere with spiritual interests (Mt 6:31-34)

    If we exercise faith in him, Jehovah will help us care for family responsibilities without our neglecting worship of him at congregation meetings (1Ti 5:8)

    Does your conduct demonstrate faith worthy of imitation? (Heb 13:7)

    Hebrews 10:24, 25 says to gather together, "all the more so," especially in these critical times hard to deal with (2Ti 3:1)

    LF-SACRIFICING LOVE CONTRIBUTES TO UNITY (10 min.)

    Some congregations have had their peace disrupted by disunity among bodies of elders and lack of cooperation on part of ministerial servants (Isa 54:13)

    It also interferes with preaching of good news and caring for congregation; impedes flow of God’s spirit

    Satan directly opposes unity under Christ; aim is to cause division (Eph 1:22; 4:26, 27)

    We “allow place for the Devil” if we permit him to play upon our imperfections and fleshly weaknesses, such as keeping account of injuries, pride, feelings of self-importance, resentment at not getting prominence we feel we deserve

    When elders and ministerial servants work unitedly within congregational structure, demonstrating self-sacrificing love for one another, great strength results (Ec 4:12)

    Christian modesty, meekness, and humility will prevent one from trying to dominate his brothers and impose his opinion (Pr 11:2; Col 3:12; w88 10/1 17, par. 9)

    One possessing wisdom from above not only avoids being contentious and belligerent but goes out of his way to establish good relations with others

    Recent Kingdom Ministry School emphasized need to be receptive to counsel (Heb 12:5, 6)

    Rather than wait for someone to offer suggestions, take initiative, and ask for counsel where you perceive you need help

    Do not let resentment or pride keep you from listening to observations and counsel from others

    A yielding spirit will help us avoid any tendency to retaliate or resort to recrimination

    By submitting to headship of Christ and treating one another with love and respect, elders and ministerial servants will protect peace and unity of congregation (Read Philippians 1:1, 27)

    LOCAL NEEDS (8 min.)

    CONCLUSION (2 min.)

    Warmly commend elders and ministerial servants for sacrifices made to serve Jehovah and brothers In new world, we will be able to look back with satisfaction, knowing that during this urgent time, we did our part, willingly setting aside personal interests for Jehovah's interests (Ps 54:6)

    [At this point the ministerial servants should be dismissed. The following material will be considered with the elders only]

    S-337—Page 2 HANDLING CASES OF WRONGDOING WITH WISDOM AND MERCY (ks91 118-21) (30 min.)

    [Cover Unit 5(c), "Handling Cases of Wrongdoing With Wisdom and Mercy," page 118, down to but not including the section on page 121 entitled "If the Decision Is to Disfellowship." Encourage elders to follow along in their textbook. Allow time to look up and apply key scriptures. As you cover this material, include the following questions]

    INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPHS (2 min.)

    What important lessons are to be learned from the way Jehovah handled the rebellion in Eden? (Elders should imitate Jehovah, taking prompt action according to Bible principles and laws)

    Before the hearing itself, what should each member of the committee do? (ks91 118, par. 2)

    BEFORE FORMING A JUDICIAL COMMITTEE (4 min.)

    How can the person who is a witness to a serious sin aid both the wrongdoer and the congregation? (The witness should make sure the responsible elders become aware of it. Usually best to approach the person involved first, though it is not wrong to go directly to elders. He should encourage the wrongdoer to approach the elders, then after a reasonable period of time check with the elders to be sure they know) (w97 8/1527,par.7)

    When is it not advisable for the witness to confront the accused alone? What should the elders do? (When he is a party to the wrongdoing, is a victim, or is extremely timid. Children who are victims of molestation should not be required to confront the accused. In some cases two elders or an elder and the witness can confront the accused)

    DICIAL COMMITTEE HEARING PROCEDURE (24 min.)

    After opening with prayer, what should the chairman do? How? (State reason for meeting, clearly indicating they are a judicial committee. Best to open with Scriptural point, setting tone. Endeavor to put accused at ease, assuring him of elders' desire to be helpful)
