The problem with blame the elders is that it won't work in the long run.
There are letters such as the Fitzwater letter and others that Bowen showed on Dateline that confirm headquarters knew what was going on and told the elders what to do. There are special forms that must be mailed out to the society as well that are on Silent Lambs site. There are BOE letters that direct the elders. There is testimony from Erica and her father, a former elder.
Finally, there was the tape that Bill made that showed what legal expected of him.
All in all the elders are liable, the congregation corporation is liable and so is the head corporation - the WTS knows it. Now its up to a lot of us to ensure the WTS does not "spin" this to blame the elders for this tradegic event.
