People are asking how ex-member leaders and/or abusers can supress the online information of their deeds.
Interestingly, people who came out on the record and took a stand will have more to say in their defense. More than those who slink away, at any rate.
But do some want to skip any such step? Would it not be right that the injured have a say? Or are such persons calling for a one-sided assistance to the alleged perps from which we all know victims will never see justice or "reconciliation" that is not one-sided?
It would be interesting to have a formal setup where people could make clear, and leave a record of, their disavowal -- and if necessary, how sorry they are. However, such a thing may need to involve the ability of child abuse survivors to address/confront these people.
This might be something that could be accomplished "behind the scenes". But I wonder if people are considering that such a setup would require, to be fair, input from any injured parties (however offline it may be).
But I think that any aspirants for a nice clean white (washed) slate need to remember that as long as one of their victims is alive to which they have not made the requisite amends, they will not have ultimate control over what might happen with the facts of their past. Of course, you can just keep praying against them...
