I agree TonusOH but Fisherman doesn't feel that the OP made any defense. So if he doesn't think he made any defense why does he think that the OP was claiming that he was?

My defense speech before the judicial committee
by Disfellowshipped-Brother indear brothers!.
we have gathered here because, according to your claims, i have apostatized, and as elders, it is your duty to maintain the purity of the flock.
it seems now that someone has contaminated it, apparently.

Fisherman, you ask how his speech was relevant or a defense.
It was relevant because he was in a Judicial Committee for apostasy. He was explaining to them exactly what his position was.
With point number 5, you give him a lecture explaining why his speech was not a defense.
Could you please highlight/quote where in his speech he was claiming he had a defense?

That was an interesting read Disfellowshipped-Brother
You did an excellent job of putting your thoughts down in words.
If they were really tasked with Shepherding the Flock then to listen to this speech or to read it would have enabled them to understand your views. How could they address your concerns otherwise? Obviously they had no intention to do so.

JRBrown "We know all our Sisters have pretty legs"
This is one of the things that is so wrong with the organisation and the audience would have laughed.

How times have changed. He's now making comparisons to Hitler, Pol Pot and Jack the Ripper. Once upon a time it was Ray Franz and Paul Grundy.

The material/pamphlets in these boxes will probably have a scanning code on them and it could be that is where further information will be found.

500 patrons or he’s quitting and sacking Tibor and Dijana and it’s all YOUR fault.
It would probably be the best thing for them in the long run if they were sacked.
If he couldn't afford to pay any sex workers, they also would be far better off because of it.
Just because you can afford to pay someone for a service doesn't mean it's a good thing.
It's his fault that they are, to some extent, dependant on him.

I doubt the aim is to catch moles. it would only take one who then makes the info public, then there wouldn’t be any need for most moles to open the box in their congregation. It’s too much work to go to when there are simpler options.
The day of opening coincides with a monthly broadcast so it sounds like there will be an announcement.
It possibly has something to do with the one public Watchtower and Awake for 2024. They’ll probably hype up the articles to make it kinda, sorta, sound like a hailstone message and the Awake magazine presenting all the doom and gloom from the past 100 years.
I think it’s a possibility because it won’t matter if the box gets open and read or made public because it won’t say anything more than what they’ve said at one time or another in the past. The November broadcast however, could make it seem like it’s much more than it actually is, that is, they’ll hype it up.

July 2023 Study Article 29: Are You Ready for the GT (part 3)
by blondie inhad to take a break to get my chores caught up; last section: strengthen your love.
this implies that any jw had "real" love or knew what it was outside the wts definition.
many jws just perpetuate the type of love they were show in their congregation.

You mention a situation where two Elders, maternal brothers and in seperate Congregations wouldn't talk to each other. How does this happen in Jehovah's Organisation? Elders are meant to be exemplary.
What love can they have amongst each other if two JWs in very high standing can't show it for their own family. It's not like they could have done something seriously wrong as they have been appointed Elders
