BTW Illingworth presided over this in 1983....so when did you "know" him...after he had screwed our family figuratively? Our jw father confessed and was forced to apologize to my sister but not a word to us; he was reproved privately so no one else in the congregation knew.. The 2 elders who concealed his crime never talked to us after that. And then 8 years later he confessed to all us kids that he had lied when he confessed despite that he had sexually molested all of us and we knew it.
So why was Illingworth called in, because the BOE was in turmoil, 2 elders had concealed the confession from the other elders and they wanted the one elder removed because he was holding back a new KH being built. No concern for my sister even, no shepherding, no comfort. Cold from the top down.
