Jules said this was an area of disagreement between FGs and SGs...
(Supposed FG position:) * Someone who committed abuse against children because of the group’s climate is not responsible for their act or acts, unlike someone who did these things solely because they wanted to.
(Jules: Again, I don’t know how you would make that distinction. I do not believe that the motivation makes any difference. When people abuse children, they must be held accountable for those actions.)
I can't believe this is the position of ANY FG. Is it? Jules already said we agree on this: *Some people in the Family engaged in sexual abuse of children and other acts that they would never have engaged in if it were not for the intense pressure and abusive climate of the Family.*
I agree with the above & I also agree that despite the pressures & mind control, that we are all responsible for our actions.
