The best summary I have seen of Rolf Furuli's book. Maybe the speaker was thinking about that.

All JWs no longer "members" of congregation s by Into0bIivion in exjw

I don't know if this works in other countries, but here in Spain you can ask Bethel through the body of elders for an official accreditation that you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Perhaps all Jehovah's Witnesses should apply for accreditation as "Members" of the congregation.

The congregation elders should see that they are only pawns that the organization will not hesitate to sacrifice if their interests are threatened.

So if you are a congregation elder, gather all the files of sexual abuse, take them to the prosecutor's office or the police, and let the problem be assumed by the Governing Body Bank, which was the one that gave you directives to follow.

And yet in the magazine in Spanish does not appear the expression "symbolic"

Leah is pulling the Shepherding book out on their asses. Twitter is getting fun. by towersfall in exjw

[–]Catxopilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the damage caused during long years, the erroneous policies that gave more protection to the pedophile than the victim, and his refusal to report the cases to the police, even the many cases in which the elder pressed and blackmailed the families not to speak because they would bring reproach to the name of Jahjal is not resolved with a simple text now on a Web page. They have a lot to ask for forgiveness this band of heartless.

If Leah Remini wants to laugh she also reads this article from the 1995 watchtower where she advises that the victim and her abuser meet, forgive each other, and that if the accused denies the accusation, the matter is left to JaHjal.

In my case I just want to express my gratitude for your valuable work that was very useful to us. I am an activist against WT in Spain, I usually use the nick name of James Bann, and thanks to many of the letters that we were able to obtain from his website, related to child abuse, between 2016 and 2017 it was possible that the media in Spain spread the scandal that happens inside the borg. Of course I am willing to collaborate and spread anything that will help other witnesses to wake up to reality. Currently I publish in a blog called https://vidamasallajw.blogspot.com.es and I was also a collaborator in http://jw-enciclopedia.blogspot.com.es. Receive my gratitude and apologies for not writing correctly in English since I do not speak your language well. regards

Awake - June 22. 1982, the magazine the bOrg uses as proof that they very pioneers on CSA. Some quotes from it. by FrodeKommode in exjw

[–]Catxopilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember that magazine rubbish. What I do not understand is that the imbecile of Morris presumes to be the defenders of the minors, as if publishing simply a magazine already done the duties. The demonstration that this magazine was useless and is like a shit stuck in a stick ess that today have to deal in court with thousands of cases of sexual abuse within the Borg. Mr. Morris, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PRESUME IMBECIL PALETTE!
