Also elders need to be pressed to the point of discomfort when they verbalize these so called reports from anonymous ones...MAKE them say WHO exactly it is and don't allow meeting to proceed without an answer..they should not be allowed to bring up heresay testimony and use it against you as if it is gospel truth..if this is truly a judicial process...where is the opportunity to question or cross examine witnesses? It is proper to note when they bring up that kind of shit that it is gossip and slanderous..and even could lead to legal action against elders and others who have spread and listened to such slanderous talk...not that it truly would lead to that but it sure would make elders squirm a bit and less willing to listen or spread these so called reports next time it happens.
If I ever end up in a JC be assured I will press for these kind of issues to be addressed and it WILL also be recorded...for the moment I'm being left alone
