An adult child shouldn't hold him back, but it really depends on the elders. By their rules he needs to be "presiding over his household in a fine manner", but adult children are not really under his control even if they still live at home.

Can an inactive family member hold back a MS appointment?
by Simon Templar ina friend asked me if a man can be appointed a ms if he has an inactive (inactive for 15-20 years) baptized adult child living in his home.
the child lives by the rules and doesn't do anything wrong (jw-wise), as i am told.
i know the child (adult) and is a good kid as far as i know.

Is there a source for the Branch Rep's statement? I'd love to show the double-speak to my wife. -

Wilmington Delaware Media report in another Topic
by truthlover insexual abuse by a female member of a 14 year old in the congregation and elders being sued by the county --- now that co's are liable for the elders only - does that mean the elders will lose everything if fines are levelled against them, since the society has washed their hands and separated themselves by setting the co in place??

Not only is there a direct link from branch to CO to elders, but there is also a direct link through the "elder's manual" and letters to the BoE that lists the policies that the elders are to follow. Several of those policies state that they are to call the branch for direction. The only way the WT corp can distance themselves from the actions of an elder is if the elder does not follow the policies that they put forward. -

At our hall anyone who asks is given the password. Most kingdom halls have wifi now. They have to download videos monthly to play during the meeting. Some are announcements and some are special instructions. Starting the first of the year, they will have to play the recommended presentations for the whole congregation. -

this is the new reporting from next month, just hrs and any literature placed in one box and then how many videos you showed in another box.. bib changes for sure..

There was a thread where the branch in another country sent a letters to the elders that if they did not follow policies to the letter, including contacting the branch for further direction, that they would not be supported by WT lawyers. There is definitely personal responsibility, but that doesn't absolve the org if the elders' actions can be linked to org polices (written or otherwise). -

CA's/ Special Day Assemblies are going to be the next big thing to be chopped completely
I doubt it. They make a ton of money at the CA's. With the most recent letter about donating excess circuit funds, they will make even more. The "cost" is just an amount based on a per publisher rate that the branch decides. They can up that cost and when there is a "deficit" reported at the lunch break the guilted JWs will drop more coin or swipe their card again.

is it safe to say they will most likely sell off the most profitable ones first?
Of course! They don't care how far the dubs have to travel.

No. They will be just as responsible since it's a hierarchical organization. If the elders point back to a policy by the org, the org is responsible. -

they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?

They publish it by end of day on the first Monday of the month. To my knowledge they haven't missed that deadline yet.
