Candace Conti - Consequence for Elders
by The Searcher inbodies of elders around the world will soon (tm) receive a nicely worded letter from the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, telling them that local elders are now responsible for ensuring that no perverts are allowed to be alone with any children on any kind of witness business, otherwise, the boe will be accountable to the courts - not the org!.
however, if the elders are aware that bro.
& sister oblivious sometimes ask bro.

They can't do this. No single brother would then go with an elder into field service any more.
All the brothers would be afraid, that the cong or the field servce group would think - he is a pedo.
flipper
As regards the opening thread- I DO feel like some others here that WT legal will craft a letter to the elders indicating tighter restrictions regarding pedophiles going out in field service. I don't know what those restrictions may be- it might be that pedophiles are ONLY allowed to work with elders out in the field service.

First time they publicly admit this or not?
by TimDrake1914 ini came across this on the newest wt study edition for 7/15/15 pg.
9 par.
14:"they remember when congregations had a congregation servant rather than a body of elders, when countries had a branch servant rather than a branch committee, and when direction was given by the president of the watch tower society rather than by a clearly established governing body of jehovahs witnesses.

*** w02 10/1 pp. 18-19 par. 6 Cultivate Obedience as the End Draws Near ***
In the first century, when the issue of circumcision arose in 49 C.E., the governing body of that early slave class prayerfully considered the matter and came to a Scriptural conclusion. When they announced their decision by letter, the congregations obeyed the direction given and enjoyed God’s rich blessing. (Acts 15:6-15, 22-29; 16:4, 5) Likewise in modern times, the faithful slave through its Governing Body has clarified such important issues as Christian neutrality, the sanctity of blood, and the use of drugs and tobacco. -

JW Articles Loaded with Intentional Imbedded Misleading Clauses...
by freemindfade inthis makes me fume while i sit listening to this at the sunday beeting.... "hence, an elder who is tenderly compassionate does not try to control the sheep, making rules or using guilt to pressure them to do more when their circumstances do not permit them to.-w15 2/15 pp.
5-9. now this sentence makes the elders sound like they should not control, use guilt to pressure etc... but then it has a qualifying statement no one seems to hear.
when their circumstances do no permit them to.

What this sentence really means in witnesses speak is if you are 100 years old, terminally I'll, or something similar, they won't pressure you to work harder for the org.They will pressure for 15 minutes a month

The European Branch translated this WT in my language a little bit different. Translated back in english it reads:
A Kingdom Hall is a building - dedicated to Jehovah, and thus the hall actually belongs to him – regardless of who the registered owner is.
SO, no alarm clock in our country on the 26th or 27th of September "WT-Question & Answer-hour" :-)

Yes, I have done the same. Reading, reading and reading.
Welcome on board.
On top of that I've read/scanned through almost every Watchtower publication from the 1880's to the 1970's. I have a very strong need to gather info and read like crazy at the moment! Is this normal?

JW-lite on Facebook
by compound complex ingreetings, fellow posters and friends:.
i have noticed that jws on fb post a great deal from their website.
it's ready-made witnessing material, namely, videos, links to reading materials, comments on the tv show, etc.

In JW-land you can only speak and write about things ...
... so that you can enjoy an encouraging and upbuilding interchange with the brothers and sisters.
