OK, so if it is a loyality oath, all of you undercover apostate elders posting here what will you do? Makes me think of one of my favorite old Rolling Stones song---------Don't Stop

Sir82 - LOL, good point. And, yes, I'm happy to report it's been a few years since I was in one of those mind numbing sessions!!! What was I thinking??? They would probably give those stupid "examples" on how to handle and think that would suffice.

No lawyer here but wouldn't a signed oath connect them to Mommy while Mommy is trying to cut and legally separate themselves?

"Brothers, it is time to flee to the mountains. We have been secretly constructing a compound in Brazil..."
Or...
They're outsourcing the preaching work to India.

£10.00 says it'll be some underwhelming bollox where they big it up and try to make it seem more significant than it is.
Another smoke screen of inconsequential crap made to look important and elevate the GB above all.
Drink the kool-aid!
It'd be rich if it were putting the ownership for paedo prosecutions on the shoulders of the elders. I can see that coming. No more will the onus fall on the WBT$ to make out of court settlements. The individual elders are going to prison for hiding paedos. Another 'skin the flock' book to shift responsibility from the GB to the R&F????

They are including a program on the WT library CD that will block access to all apostate websites. This should be accepted by JWs as a loving provison from Jah.

After sleeping on it, I'm thinking an exact opposite. I don't think they can cut the strings to Mommy without actually letting go of control- something I can't imagine them doing. As long as they have some control they legal problems will swim upstream. I wonder if they will go the other direction, taking even more control. This move (and the elders school in February) may be aimed at the elders and CO's. A sort of "you guys work for us and WILL do as you are told. Step out of line and you're done." Of course this tactic may result in no elders or CO's, but it would give them the means (maybe) to fend off some of the punitive damages in the law suits. They can point to the changes and say they done something.

The Elders are being replaced with a vending machine.
You drop in your money and select the counsel by category
i.e. C 5 = Pamphlet drops down into the slot. You open and read it: "The best way to solve this problem is prayer, more field service and unquestioning devotion to the food at the proper time from the Governing Body."
Or, better still, a vending machine with various publications arranged in a heap inside a glass box with a grabber claw hanging above it.
The publisher has to drop in money and grapple with two levers: steadying it above the publication and letting it drop and grab; hoisting and depositing
it in the drop slot!

Something in Candace Conti's lawyer's comments makes me wonder if it's to do with the field service. The reason the org was held responsible for Jonathan Kendrick being able to molest children was that he was participating in the ministry as an ordained minister. Perhaps they will make the ministry a personal decision (which they have to know would mean an end to field circus for at least 50% of dubs). Cost saving in literature and less liability for them.
