as 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.
i have parts of this " introduction letter " from the fremont congregation to the oakley congregation elders so you can read it for yourself and decide how irresponsible these wt appointed elders were.
dated 1/16/98 it opens : .
He is a very interesting individual who has taken the lead with some YOUNG ONES in the congregation and helped them from ' VEERING OFF COURSE.
Edit
He is a very horny individual who has taken advantage of some young ones in the congregation and caused them to veer off course.

“SHEPHERD THE FLOCK OF GOD”
—1 PETER 5:2
This publication is congregation property. A
copy is issued to each appointed elder. If an el-
der is deleted for reasons other than moving to
another congregation with a favorable recom-
mendation, he should turn over this handbook
to the Congregation Service Committee. The
secretary should keep the book in the congrega-
tion’s file so that it may be returned to the
brother if he is reappointed as an elder. No
copies are to be made of any part of this publi-
cation. Neither is it to be converted into any
electronic format.
Oops. I am so bad.
To members of this forum those words are the equivalent of telling a little kid, ' Don't eat the chocolates I left on the table. Those big, tasty chocolates right there in the bowl. Don't eat them. Well I am going to have a nap. Now remember, don't eat any of those nice tasty chocolates.'
"the watchtower is butchering the 2010 elders manual, and has released this new one to all elders.
to many court cases involve exposing the 2010 elder manual, so now the watchtower is changing a few things with this new one".
(authorized).
i do believe it is written somewhere in jw literature .
wife and i have not reported a single hour of fs in 3-4 months.
while my wife is mostly doing for me (positive thing), i know she would have rather done it.
elder asked me to turn in my fs report this past week and then he added... "we need to talk".
"we need to talk"
I know, I know. I've been thinking about it ever since I saw you coming out of that massage parlour.

my memory is that after the 'candidates' answered the questions, the speaker stated that they should be 'baptized without delay' or words to that effect.
is this still the case.
is there any recording you can refer me too which gives the audible evidence?

Thank-you for your reply.
with the organization controlled, totally and completely by the governing body, what would the watchtower society do to hold it all together if all or most of the governing body were to die?.
would the legal department step in and issue orders?
would the rest of the gb quickly appoint new members?
I picture elders and publishers walking around aimlessly in the Kingdom Hall bumping into chairs and walls.
I think that, as long as it was delivered by JW.org or in print, that most would obey any order or instructions that they received. I don't think many would ask questions. They would just want someone, anyone, to give directions, no questions asked.

What if they all died?
Who could have enough authority to take control?
Would someone have to pull a Judge Rutherford and seize control?
quickbuild's are something the jws crow about a lot as evidence of yahweh's "spirit" working on them, but amongst the puffery' there was a solid fact that the buildings were often the result of good planning rather than divine assistance.. and, in most cases the buildings were seldom built in a weekend.
a concrete slab foundation needed time to dry out before walls could be built.
and before the slab could be poured, the ground had to be levelled and services like plumbing and drainage roughed in.
I worked in my home woodworking shop for two months, evenings and weekends, to build four ministry school tables for a 'quick build' double Kingdom Hall. The tables were made out of two inch oak and laminate. They were very labour intensive. I had to put every thing else on hold. When the quick build weekend came, I delivered the tables, looked around at all the accountant and real estate agent elders with yellow hard hats on, and went home.
Two weeks later I got a call from an elder. He told me that the tables were too big for the platforms and told me that I would have to rebuild the tables to a smaller size. ???????? The tables were built exactly to the prints I received.
I politely told him '...I don't think so. Get someone else', and hung up.
