This letter is a perfect example that I found in the past of elders who cannot get to the point of a matter. I saw this many times when I was a elder. I would finally tell them stop beating around the bush and tell me what you mean. This shows many elders are not forthright when it comes to communicating a serious matter. They are so worry to hurt someones feelings. This only proves a point many here have said many times that elders are not in many cases qualified to handle such serious matters. That is why the Wt. is working very hard to plug up the many holes caused by inept elders in their sinking ship. Still Totally ADD

Kendrick " Letter of Introduction " from Elders regarding Candace Conti Case
by flipper inas many of us saw in the pbs news hour program and the abc news nightline program the elders from one congregation failed to communicate properly to the elders in another congregation concerning the child molester jonathan kendrick when he moved to a new congregation.

According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders
by flipper inconsidering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.
2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.
these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

What help me to understand why Wt. or any other religion allows the rape of children I read the book "The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture". It was a big revelation for me on why religion do what they do to protect themselves. Bottom line is it is not about god it's about their religious organization. Protect it at all cost.

JW literature cart spot pinched by another church group!
by stuckinarut2 insooooo funny!.
the spot that is used by the local cong in our town for the literature cart has been taken over by another church group!.
the witnesses arrived to set up, and another group was in the exact same spot, with a table, and brochures and a sign..... it will be a great thing as it dilutes the effectiveness of the witness activity, by making it look confusing to the local town people!.....

Right on Flipper. I feel we need to change the language of Child Abuse or even Child Molester. I see it as a pathetic euphemism for what has been going on. Why do I say that? Because we are really talking about the systematic rape and torture of children, which are aided and abetted by the JW hierarchy to conceal the grossest offenders from the flock in the congregation. For me I will always call it what it is rape and torture of children. The Wt. is hiding behind all their little rules instead of being forthright in protecting the children in their flocks. Like all other religions the Wt. always functions to ensure its own survival. They may espouse various ideas about brotherhood and love but these are always secondary to their survival. The Wt. like all other religions simply do not give up. They will modify and mutate. They will do whatever it takes to keep themselves alive and viable. If it takes deceit they are willing to sacrificed children to ensure survival or advancement of the Wt. Thank you for letting me to blow some steam on this subject. Still Totally ADD

How sad. One of my childhood hero's is dead. I remember how hard my mother tried to keep me from watching Star Trek because it was demonized. I would watch it anyway. I learned a lot from that show. It opened a world to me that I did not get at the KH. Anyone know how old he was? This makes the third main actor who has died from this show. Live Long and Prosper. Still Totally ADD -

Attacking the elders, can that bring down the cult??
by Crazyguy inthe borg has left out in the cold the victims of child molesters all to save their reputation and have used the elders to do their bidding in these evil works.
they have even made changes to their policies to put more of the responsibility on the elders.
so if the lawyers of these molestation victims which normally go after the money ie the borg were to also aggressively go after these elders in these cases could this not start a ripple effect where by elders find out and start resigning en mass to protect themselves knowing the borg not going to help them?.

I saw the writing on the wall about a year before I step down at the end of 2010. Even with the new arrangement of the CO's appointing elders and MS the Wt. is still open to being sued. Because they appointed the CO to represent the WT. It would still go back to them. What the Wt. needs to do is find a way to hide their money and claim they are broke. I think you will be seeing that happen in the near future. The elder arrangement is very faulty as flipper said. The men they appoint are very, very untrained to do what the Wt. wants them to do. Yes I know they have so called elder schools but sitting in a kingdom hall for two days every 2 years and listen to talks is not training. The only reason for these schools is to indoctrinate the elders into GB thinking. Brain washing at it's best. Again the Wt. still has some tricks up it sleeves to keep their money.
