I think if they really did this, they'd lose so many people they'd have to downsize or close up shop all together.
Imagine, Bethel and the farm would be like scenes from the movie the Omega Man.

Alarmingly, the society's literature already endorses this form of interrogation.
It is only a matter of time before single people living alone are regularly grilled about how they handle their private parts when at home alone. From the abundant accounts of young men and porn in the WT it is clear that the WTS realizes that in most congregations the elders have a "don't ask don't tell " attitude, which weakens its control of individual behavior when not being watched. There are already cases of people being DF - even though they are virgins, because they let slip that they have homosexual "leanings" and had a friend over to stay the night. The Flock book calls this "incriminating circumstances."
It is sad to think that the elders are now allowed to DF innocent parties on the grounds of what they think they might have done behind closed doors. God help you if you are single and have a dog. HB -

TheListener: Something seems fishy here. I, as ithinkisee already has, ask if these notes are for real?
Sir82 posted the notes from the KM School. Several elders who have been corroborated the notes as genuine, although some experiences differed slightly. I know of some elders who "stepped down" after coming back from the school. They hit education hard...again. They gave lists of situations that would and would not constitue "loose conduct."
Apparently, my dad was right that elders have been using the '73 Watchtower as basis for viewing loose conduct as a "catch-all sin."

Confession
Not long after I was appointed an elder, there was a single Ministerial Servant in our congregation who was described to me by a fellow elder as a "ferocious masturbator." The poor guy was ten years older than I was (he was about 39 at the time.) He'd been working with the elders from time to time in order to "gain mastery," let us say. They had encouraged him to make a distinguishing mark on a calendar on days when he would succumb. (I always imagined going over to his apartment and seeing his calendar full of stars and exes.) Now it's ten years later--and he's still single. Wonder if he's saved all those calendars?

God help you if you are single and have a dog.
I would be more concerned about a nicely trimmed sheep.

Reminds me of the time I was in the bethel showers and got out quickly when I heard *fap fap fap* from the stall next to me. What stuck in my mind the most was: "is he doing it with greediness? tsk, tsk." -

There are already cases of people being DF - even though they are virgins, because they let slip that they have homosexual "leanings" and had a friend over to stay the night. The Flock book calls this "incriminating circumstances."
And they don't need their "two witnesses" for this do they? But yet when a accusation of chold molestation and cover-up is made, all you hear from them is "two witnesses! two witnesses!"
