IW:

Part of the problem, from my perspective at least, is that there is no system of checks and balances in place.  There are no tests for elders or ministerial servants for competency.  There are no audits of who is doing what, who is teaching what, what the Bible "students" are actually learning compared to what the WTS's actual doctrine du jour is.  The ministry that JWs do is passed off as being a kind of "professional" way of doing things.  There are "schools" for speaking from the platform, "schools" for elders training, "schools" for pioneers, "schools" for missionary training, and people "study" to 'come into The Truth™', you write a test every couple of months called the Written Review.  But the effectiveness of all these programs seems questionable, because there is no verification process, and particularly when you have poorly taught students "qualifying" for baptism, who then go out and poorly teach other students, ad infinitum.

The notion of teaching and training is a good one, but without a system whereby the effectiveness of these programs is tested (and really it is the responsibility of the corporation to initiate a program of this nature, not the employees) you have people going willy-nilly and doing whatever they want, simply because they have nobody checking up on them.  That seems to be exactly what is happening in the organization.

Love, Scully
