  LOL -

  all people that have drifted, inactives, and others baptized and not complying with the Biblical mandates for a JW, will be visited and given an option to shape up or ship out

  Doesn't drifting/being inactive indicate that a person has already decided to ship out? Why bother visiting in the first place...

  They sure have cornered the market on control tactics "SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT". ROFLOL

  If they go on the offensive it bolsters their sense of importance and self-righteousness.My opinion is, an elder on the hunt for this reason is a worthless piece of s#%t and so is the rest of the WT.

  hes talking rubbish.....mainly cos most of the elders couldnt be bothered putting that much effort in....+there is always the risk that some might respond thereby creating even more work

  I dunno where he got that info DY. There has been no communication from bethel on this that I've seen yet. I think he mighta been talking out his ass.

  If a letter like that is ever sent, believe me, it will be scanned and posted with in the hour.

  Isn't the Congregation Secretary suppose to destroy publisher records (and cards) after 5 or 10 years of inactivity? Especially if the people involved do not attend meetings.

  If that is so, how will they know who to visit for the ones who have faded away for 10, 15, 20 or more years?
