There is no process Mephis.
None of my BoE have any clue whatsoever about the legal side of the charity. Becoming an elder is purely about the WT organisation.
The one legal thing they do each year is hold an AGM and announce some figures to the congregation. Because our income is so low we don't even have to report our financials to the Charity Commission.

'Jehovah is using the Royal commission'??.. Ok, let's work with that.
by defender of truth inwhat do you think of the following line of reasoning for helping a jw start to think about what they are admitting.. (essentially, the organisations way of handling child abuse has been wrong, harm has been caused, god is now putting it right.).
reply:.
"i appreciate your honesty, in admitting that child abuse has not been handled in the right way in the past.

I will be asking "If Satan's system had not intervened to correct and improve the WT's procedures, how many more abuse victims would be made to suffer? How many more abusers would have gone unreported to the police?" -

I've never been on any abuse cases, children or otherwise. The only ones I've been on involved consenting adults.
I'd not put myself in opposition to the law but give a full account of everything they asked. This isn't a recent stance, it is something I would always have done.

Why won't they simply change policy on sex offenders? Will they?
by punkofnice inwhy won't they (the wbt$ head honchos), simply change policy on sex offenders?
will they?..especially after the arc for eg?
it seems that with all the bad press and now the arc among other institutions that are exposing the wbt$ for a haven for paedophiles, why hasn't the wbt$ simply changed it's insane policy?.

By changing the policy to delete all abusers, they would lose many appointed men.
By becoming open and sharing the abusers names to protect the congregations, they would be liable for compensation claims.
By making any changes because the law says so, they demonstrate themselves to be less than the holy all knowing GB they try to portray.
By doing anything on a worldwide scale, they would expose their underlying problem to many who are unaware of it, and some would quit.
Expensive court cases would follow, bad publicity, loss of followers and ministry zeal, and loss of income.

Tornintwo I'm wound up now
Yes, outrage is an appropriate reaction
*** w10 9/1 p. 11 Guard Against Being Deceived ***
Satan began deceiving mankind at the very start of human history. . . What a delusion to believe that the right to choose between good and bad means the right to determine what is good and what is bad! Unfortunately, we imperfect humans easily fall into that trap..

Hypocrites.
*** w75 11/1 p. 651 Insight on the News ***
"A group of ten U.S. religions, including some major Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist and Baptist denominations, have decided to try church collections by credit card. The experiment, sponsored by the National Council of Churches, will encourage participating church members to authorize credit-card transfers of a specified contribution to their church each month. The idea, a Council spokesman says, is that “this will provide the local church with regular income whether or not the local congregation is in attendance,” especially in “off-seasons,” like summer vacation time. The report on the experiment says that those joining the program will be “giving unto business what belongs to business—a profit.” How so? “Participating banks will charge 65 cents a transaction, and the credit card companies will rake off 3 percent of every donation.” Obviously someone benefits, but how much spiritual benefit is the modern churchgoer getting?"
The WT are now happy to use the same method as they used to condemn other churches for.
The WT have gone one step further in that it is the congregations which have had to pledge monthly contributions to provide the Society "with regular incomes whether or not the local congregation is in attendance".
