I think its true to say, that if a cong is a bit short of elders or mini servants, they just lower the bar a bit. Its not as if they need to use their brain a lot for the work they do, as the Watchtower lays out exactly what they should do.

Is Reform inevitable for Watchtower
by Truthexplorer ingiven that it is highly likely that things are going to change in relation to watchtowers policy on safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults in australia (re australian royal commission), and england and wales (re charity commission).
could this be the start to reforming the watchtower organisation.
albeit, they are being forced to change their safeguarding policy by the laws of the land, but it may set a precedent.

Another Newbie
by Drifting Away inhello, i have been lurking for a while, but discovered ttatt for about 8 months now.
i am trying to fade out, problem is i have a big family i would lose if i got df'ed or da,'ed myself.
my wife knows how i feel, and is not thrilled but i cant hide my feelings.

Certainly agree with fading if at all possible. I have my grown up son in the org and when i learnt TTATT I really went for it with him. The result was that he only speaks to me when he has to. With hindsight I should have taken it much slower with him and just dropped the very occasional comment. So even more so for anyone who has a lot of their family members in the cult. -
