Paragraph 12 has an amazing double-speak therein.
In other words ...This idea makes people think only about today. They do not care about the future or about pleasing God. We might start to think like them and then become “inactive or unfruitful” in our service to God. (2 Peter 1:8) The truth is that Jehovah will soon change things on the earth, and we must show by the way we live that we really believe this. (Matthew 24:44)
despite being in for decades, i have never heard this before.. can any elders confirm this, and the reasoning?.

This is hardly the shocking revelation it sets out to be. You have a bunch of elders doing their best to respond to and answer one man's questions. It sounds very heavy going for both parties but full credit to both parties for doing their best to frame their questions and answers in the most helpful way.
There ain't no angels and demons here -folks - although I should imagine if the elders dared to secretly video our friend's "trial", we'd be declaring them to be very deceptive and dishonest. Funny how we don't accuse our friend of that. Hmmmmmm.
A bit of a long-winded let down.
As was posted, you are NOT ALLOWED support, direction, information or advice of any kind.
You are not told who the accusers are, or what EVIDENCE they have.
Many have posted about elders lying during the hearing that they KNOW that you have done more, so if you confess, it will be easier for you. When, in fact, they were just trying to get you to confess to every sin in your life.
These 3 elders were actually MUCH MUCH better than any other JC that I have attended or been aware of.
However, it is still nothing short of tag-team wrestling, where the opponent is trapped in the other team's corner, and tag-teamed, not just by 2, but 3 men.
Often times, the accused has not even finished answering one question, when another elder jumps in with a completely off-track question.
I would love to have a psychologist's opinion of a JC proceeding, and how they would describe this process.

the funniest i have seen since ages..... http://www.forevereating.com.
In all honesty, being a multi-decade JW, attended Pioneer School, etc. (not of the elite, but respected), the vast majority (90 + %) of my CO's were self-sacrificing men with, not just good, but great, hearts.
I would say that it is only in the last 10-15 years that young pups with a need for power have become the modern-day CO.

Okay.
Good idea. Your never know what one might find in a "worldly" cookbook.
