NotFormer - “Is there there such a thing as a legal firm that is too moral to take on certain cases?”
Probably not.
But I think an argument could be made that having less-than-ideal clients could get bad for business.
jehovah's witnesses are not encouraging university education... but those who are lawyers already can apply to volunteer to help at bethel.. https://youtu.be/5d_-1lbg-oc?si=fsxeewic-fkczu9p.
looks like we can expect a kinder, gentler jehovah and jesus during the great tribulation.
the door will not be closed to all non jws at the start of the tribulation.
but will have time to repent after false religion is destroyed.

the new zealand branch of the jehovah’s witnesses is going to court in an attempt to have the church made exempt from the abuse in care inquiry today.. in the high court at wellington, lawyers for the church are seeking a declaration that the church is not responsible for the care of children or vulnerable people in new zealand.. abuse survivor advocate and former church elder shayne mechen said the church was trying to use a technicality to side-step its inclusion in the inquiry.. .
what i'm thinking: can a jw be happy that the hour rapport quits?
can you show you are happy with it in the kingdom hall?
knowing it was one of the control systems of the local elders and co?.

this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

SadElder - “The Watchtower made a mistake when they began limiting volunteers at conventions to ministerial servants and elders…”
I’m guessing they figured that doing that would (somehow) incentivize more young guys to “reach out”.
Top-Shelf Tony tried something similar in one of his videos a few years back…
…he basically told all young Witness women that if a young male JW wasn’t an MS, he wasn’t marriageable material.
☺️
i didint search to see if its been talked about.
big news for jws sheeple , no more reporting.
.
Maybe.
They’d have never done those things, though… the CSA problem was already too wide in scope and ingrained for them to fix it like that.
It arguably metastasized because of the WTS’s insular and authoritarian nature…
…100-plus years of anti-“World” rhetoric, self-reinforcing delusion about the Org’s importance, and a crippling fear of loss of authority over the membership made the kind of progressive reform you’re describing impossible.
