I was chatting with an elder a few months ago and he spoke of a secret elders website that only privileged elders knew of. It is used to submit the monthly field service reports and other letters in. That is the 3rd time I heard about this and want to verify if any of you know about this.
Secret elders website?!?

Not really a big deal.
They also have phone numbers to call to initiate the ACH money transfers that us accounts servants would do each month. Those numbers aren't spread around freely.
Nothing but Standard Operating Procedure for a corporation's sales directors to upload info on a nonpublished website. -

Someone needs to hack the site and redirect to JWD. They would get a nice education and think it is coming from the 'Slave' class.

It's what Mad Tiger said. 'Bout as exciting as working an ATM machine.
I suppose if a skilled hacker wanted to do some mischief they could, but it's not like elders are on there sharing insider information.

It is true that the site exists, my current congregation uses it to submit their literature requests.
I don't know the URL, as I am not in Literature.
If you know the URL and a local cong #, perhaps you could special order them a slew of old publications that they can never place. -

This website, located at http://www.ccjw.org, is nothing more than an 'enhanced' way that congregation secretaries (in the USA anyway) turn in service reports for the congregation.
I think they also send in literature orders online now, as well as Memorial attendance reports via this website (or a similar one). Nothing really exciting, and you have to have a password to get in, of course.

They could just send that info here to JWD. We would do a hell of a lot better job of analysing it's meaning for them.

how many passwords do you think are "1914"?
the more I think of it, the passwords are probably given by the society.
Never mind... -

Initial passwords are given out by the Society, but when someone logs in for the first time, they have to change their password to something of their choosing. I bet there are lots of '1914' passwords out there, just like '1914' will arm/disarm lots of KH security systems.

If the Watchtower is using its own internet websites to collect congregational information, then why does Governing Body member Steven Lett keep railing against computer science when he gives a talk on the subject of education? He has spoken against this subject several times, saying once "what good is studying Computer Science if when you go to Bethel you are put to work washing dishes?"
So is Lett saying that Bethel doesn't use people who have studied computer science to develop and maintain their special websites? Not to mention the SAP software which the Watchtower has spent considerable resoures to obtain.
Who do they use to write and maintain all their software if they put all their computer science people to work in the kitchen?
