Gene! Removing him from the fellowship entirely would be the "best" approach! They excommunicate people for lesser reasons, so why allow someone who has exhibited criminal behavior for many years and has been blessed for it by being brought up into overseership......it's time the excommunication process serve the real needs of the fellowship and not the moods of the powers that be!
Well, since SOL is evidently gone, how would keeping him in the fellowship prevent him from taking chance on abusing children passing his house? The fellowship cannot be held responsible for him in his private life, but can in his spiritual affiliations and that keeping him from abusing the vulnerable within that spiritual society!
It's just a chance that someone has to take when we have SOL not something to be useful, then it's not going to matter where and when and how and who in his daily life...but getting him away from those who have been taught to not be afraid of anyone in the mtgs.
The Scandalis story is a very good picture of this.....the man couldn't dare abuse one of the firends' children but he did target a boy outside the fellowship and thus was the vehicle in which he was sentenced and after his parole is set he will have to follow the rule that he must not be near where children are routinely found....and the workers need to obey this rule in NOT giving him rights to going to mtgs. where children are. And IF the workers do send a CSA convict to a mtg. where children routinely are found, then the workers need to be reported to the authorities for that which is against their law or ruling in accordance to their parole on the perp.
