Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?
by Luther bertrand ini am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.
i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.
i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.

So who is instructed to re-enter the data from the original paper form to the new electronic form? Does anyone have to audit the two to confirm there are no changes?
If not, then the chance of mistakes or deliberate change is very high.

Mandatory reporting is red herring and does have some of it's own potentially negative implications.
The point is about whether or not the organisation (and I mean any org here) is predicated to support an alleged victim or not. Many organisations have made significant changes to policies and practices to try and reduce the chance of internal process putting blocks in the way of reporting and criminal investigations.
Regardless of public statements, the WT Society has had a long standing culture where abuse victims have not been well supported, where they have not felt empowered to report and where alleged perpetrators have been able to exploit internal processes to evade both internal sanction and external investigation.
The organisation repeatedly has refused to acknowledge poor practice, not made the processes and policies open and transparent, baulked at the implementation of any kind of meaningful best practice, left elders floundering with simplistic instructions that encourage lack of cooperation and continued to claim there is nothing wrong.
All you hear is excuses, never any recognition that mistakes have been made or that the organisation can take unilateral steps to ensure that abuse allegations are properly handled in line with current best practice and secular expectations.

In my personal opinion, whatever individual feelings about the nature of JW teachings and the danger posed about them, this type of activity by the authorities should be robustly condemned.
Fundamentally Jehovah's Witnesses do have the freedom to do what they do under Russian law yet the authorities insist on twisting the legal system and resorting to underhand tactics to try and put them in the same box as all the other undesirables identified by the corrupt leadership.
Bear in mind that the same methods are being used against homosexuals, transgender people, political dissidents, similar religions and other minorities to suppress free speech and free will.
The fact that this type of behaviour is sanctioned from the top down should be ringing alarm bells about how far Russia really has come in terms of embracing an open society.
Pushing these people underground has never stopped them. Years of persecution under the communist regime did nothing to prevent the spread of the creed. What is more, JWs love a good persecution story. It simply reinforces their faith. There is plenty of content in the literature that has been openly exposed to allow people to see what is really in there. In fact, if the Russian authorities would be far better helping translate some of the best sites (e.g. jwfacts) into Russian and tweaking their firewalls to point requests to jw.org to Russia language content that exposes the teachings for the bunch of junk they really are.
