The bigger picture, is that JWs make full use of any tragedy to promote the end of wickedness doctrine. They want to put across that the whole world is wicked and will soon be destroyed. Some people people are very vulnerable at times like this, and the Watchtower know that some will accept their doomsday message.

Apostasy endorsed in this yesterday's Watchtower Study
by doubtfull1799 in“there may be occasions when it would be good for us to reconsider a choice or decision.
it could be when the prevailing circumstances change.
jehovah altered his decision at times when circumstances changed.

Watchtower have proved over the years that they can change anything and the sheep will still follow. It is only thanks to the internet that they are now starting to go downhill fast

do elders care alot of it?

In the UK it is a criminal offence to sext with anyone under the age of 16. Was clearly shown in a weekly drama we have called Eastenders where an 18 year old sent an explicit picture of himself to a girl who he did not realize was only14. He got a criminal record, and it was reported in the papers, so some people literally shunned him

HA the good life --Cart witnessing
by wannaexit inon my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.
two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.
the two carts were a number of feet away.

I really think it is an exercise in making the jdubs enjoy their time in ''service'', rather than gaining lots more converts. They are desperate to hang on to those already in the org. Certainly can see why pioneering is more popular now when all they have to do is sit on a bench in the sunshine.

Yeh I keep a track of the figures for Europe each year as I live in the UK. Here they grew by just 26 last year. That is just 0.02%. Its nearly 1 million hours spent for each additional publisher. lol

Its a great way to get your time in if older or disabled. You just sit on a chair or bench and enjoy chatting to partner for a couple of hours. (if your lucky in the sunshine)

If an elder decides he wants to report child molestation to police.
by poopie incan he be sued for violating clergy pertinent privilege by the person that confesses to him?.

Really cant see how there can be any talk about clergy confidentiality with JWs. The first thing elders an elder does when he is told about a serious sin is discuss it with other elders. Then they phone head office and speak to another person about the matter. This is nothing like a confession between the sinner and an elder.
