Yes. I’ve made a similar comment on another Kas12 string. There is a serious safeguarding issue here, I hope that the young person in question can get some appropriate real world support, and that the mods here take some action.....

Confused
by Kas12 ini am 12 years old and im confused because my mam is leaving the truth after 12 years and i want to celebrate xmas but she still doesnt believe that should do it coz even though shes realised society has lied about things she still believes in god.
im unsure whether i believe in god or not but i havent really looked into it much ..

Maybe this is a question for Simon or other mods, but I’m uncomfortable with a 12 year old actively posting here..... I work in an environment where we go through child safeguarding training, and this type of social media interaction with a child is troubling..

Parts of this years Elders school were pretty interesting actually. Teaching, reading (not as dull as it sounds), and being more reasonable and balanced as elders. Then spent hours doing para by para reviews of letters on Child Abuse etc. I just wish they would make mandatory reporting the standard, but no..... somebody on here posted a link to all the Talk Outlines if you’re that interested....

Do CO's get a check each time they have a convention?
by suavojr induring our weekend convention with the co i noticed he gets his expenses paid for.
my question is if the co then summits another expense report on the following day?
the circuit is split in a and b, so therefore the co meets with the other half the next day.

This is one of those “nothing to see here” moments. Yes, CO’s do submit expenses, and could so in the way you suggest. But these would be expenses, like some food, fuel, some stationary....... not a new iPhone or tickets to the Bahamas. Like them or not, most, unless they have family money, live very very frugally and go hand to mouth most of the time. And as and when they are given the “privilege” of coming off the circuit to allow some thirty-something SKE grads to get the gig, they do so with nothing .....

Higher Education
by Brian J injust spent 8 hours in a 1 day elders school last weekend.
clarification given: "moving forward any elder, ms, or pioneer who themselves or someone under their roof enrolls in higher education, may no longer qualify for privileges in the congregation.
their qualifications will have to be reviewed by their boe.".

I attended the Elders School last weekend (UK), and there wasn't a single reference to higher education, not even in the sections on making recommendations. Sounds like your instructor went rogue :)

Attendents sit at the best seats
by Quarterback inwell it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.
last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.
it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.

@konceptual99 - that was a pretty rounded condemnation of all JWs - I wonder, does that include your still-in family and the friends you still socialise with and from whom you conceal who you really are, or are the “hypocrites” just all the others?

For fear of being called an apologist, having been an attendant myself for many years, the behaviour described here is very much from a minority. My experience is working with many genuine caring men, and women, that only wanted to help and improve the experience for others. I accept that there are exceptions - and once you’ve left the org, you probably remember the negative, but I don’t accept the blanket characterisation portrayed here...
