For clarification, the info I received is that the letter involves a group of active elders.
As in Australia, this kind of situation might have been avoided instructing to obtain the "Certificate of no-molester", but JW are always upon the truth and law.
According to the info received, calls from elders to Spanish Bethel are transferred to an automatic message system where they can record their request. No more direct info... we will contact you later !

The fine if you don't obtain the Certificate is 6000 €.
I got info that many elders started to request it and the the Ministry of a justice has contacted Spain Bethel to confirm the letter dated Oct 3rd.
JW must follow the law and no child molester or sexual harasser should be allowed in the congregation.

GUILLEM SÀNCHEZ / BARCELONA
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2016 - 20:47 IST
Sarah, a transsexual who, still a man, was expelled in 2000 by a Brazilian congregation of the T Witnesses of Jehovah after admitting he was attracted by men, presented in Salamanca the second complaint of harassment against this religious organization, after he presented Miguel Garcia , as has been told this newspaper. In a statement at the police station of the Civil Guard, calls for the intervention of Spanish justice to recover the money he sent his family to Brazil after 8 years working as a prostitute in Italy and Spain.
He entered an international prostitution ring that brought her to Italy for paid sex change. Four years ago, he landed in Spain. During this period, in an irregular situation, he sent all the money he saved his mother. The plan was to buy a house they would live together. Her mother had been expelled from the same congregation as her. The first for adultery in 1997 and the second by immorality, in 2000. Sarah contacted his mother from Europe, they resumed their relationship and put the house on behalf of the parent.
Readmission MOTHER
The problems have come after his mother was readmitted within the congregation. Sarah, who was already disowned by her father when she was cast creed, was startled to learn of their return because it was feared that the Witnesses would cut the link regenerated.
"I noticed how more and took longer to answer my messages," he explains. His worst fears were confirmed. Soon she told him that "they should not live together." He stopped calling Sarah and returned to use their "male name" to refer to it. Daughter sent her transsexuality publications normalized, but the mother never accepted reading them. Sarah, desperate, contacted the congregation to ask her mother to lift the ban relate to it. She has also been ignored. "I lost my family, but at least I'd get the money I've earned with prostitution," implores.

Translation here below...
===========
Ministry of Justice
Office for Relation with Confessions.
Madrid.
I contact with you as an elder and spokesman for a group of elders (or local pastors) of Jehovah's Witnesses. I practice from my childhood this religion and it gives me a Christian vision for my daily life.
The official entity in Spain, Christian Witnesses of Jehovah sends (via email, via the jw.org website, with maximum security protocols), instructions on the so-called judicial committees, protocols to handle cases of sexual abuse of children within local congregations and clear instructions on how we keep all information about these alleged crimes, instructions for members who have suffered harassment and how to report (in a peculiar way, trying not to leave traces or traceability) always at the national Spain headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses, in his office in Ajalvir.
On Oct 3rd, the headquarters in Spain sent the letter attached, clarifying that we should not apply for
Certificate of Sexual Offences
even if we have worship activities with children (meetings, teaching schools).
I am a spokesman for a group of elders from Madrid, we are very anxious for the publicity given on the thousand cases of sexual abuse in Australia (we always talk about our worship), and the research in the UK together with the information we are reading in different newspapers.
We have found that the national headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses moved instructions in a particular language, but the final instructions are given to us in a particular school for Elders, and finally all legal responsibility finally seems only to be ours.
We know that the world headquarters has secret files with tens of thousands cases of child sexual abuse never reported.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/2119903.stm
As a minister of religion of Jehovah's Witnesses, dealing with childrens, should I apply for the certificate? What responsibility is ours on the unsigned letter (common in the instructions given to us via the jw.org ntranet, where all have an email account) issued by the Jehovah's Witnesses in Spain confession.
Faced with such a complex situation, soon will deposit in the register of the Ministry of Justice a copy of all instructions received during the past five years, also copies of digital media with all instructions. We will send this letter as well to Commissions of Justice and Home Affairs both in the Senate, and Congress of Deputies, and all documentation to members of the European Parliament.
Best regards.
Group of Elders of Jehovah's Witnesses in Madrid (Spain)

Google Translate:
Paul Marshall's mother was cleaning the dishes when he, with 9 years, asked what was a "homosexual". He wanted to know because it came with regional concentrations of Jehovah's Witnesses that were held in southern England and there was much talk about this sexual orientation. His mother replied, "They are people very sick, stay away from them." Paul soon crossed the street with a man who was in a wheelchair and believed he had seen a gay for the first time.
When did you solved the misunderstanding? Later my friends explained to me that being gay meant you liked boys.
-¿Le Liked? He'd always been attracted by some boys in the class. Never for girls. was still nothing sexual, just one liked me and the other not. But I had not the courage to accept it. I married at age 17 with a woman named by the congregation.
Did it work? The way I wanted. We even had a son. But it was not happy. Without being authentic I ended up depressed and finally, after four years of marriage, I had to tell the truth to my wife.
Was it hard? It was a horrible conversation. We kept the phone. I said, "I think I'm gay." She did not answer and I let go of everything: "No, the truth is that I know I'm gay."
How did the congregation react? There was a trial and one of the elders told me that the last man who had heard him say something like that was over flying brains with a gun. I do not think I said to give me ideas but to warn me that, in his view, was condemning me.
-¿Se Felt finally released? It was not that simple. At first I thought it was finished. I felt scared, anxious at the prospect of it was true that the devil had possessed me. Needed to completely rebuild my way of relating with the world.
-¿Seguía Believing the same? To clear yes principle. Jump from the congregation involved also accept the possibility that I stay out of paradise to die. That was the worst, learn to live with that.
How long did you? Very much. At first I chose to do the opposite of what he had done before: a lot of sex and a lot of drugs. He was not good. Little by little I quieting, but it's hard to forget the things they taught you to believe. When the Twin Towers collapsed in 2001, I remember perfectly that I was afraid he was coming Armageddon.
-¿Los Jehovah 's Witnesses are openly homophobic? His actions demonstrate that they are, because they exclude jhomosexuales. Although publicly they are even able to deny it. They are obsessed with homosexuality. Now I realize that worry them much more than gay men pedophiles.
-Cuesta To believe ... I know of cases of pedophiles that have been hidden by the organization. And I know that child abuse is a serious problem for them. It is also because there are many gay men who behave wretchedly because of repression.
What would you say to homosexuals still hiding their orientation to be part of this creed? That prevents any fundamentalism listen to themselves and that's the most dangerous. To forget about everything the organization has told them is wrong and verify it personally, because by doing so they will find the answers they are seeking. Do not be afraid, there is a place full of light and love outside world, that there is no end black with threatening them not to follow your heart.
