  Suicide Attempts

  by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

  does anyone know if the new elders' manual addresses attempted suicide?

  in the previous manual, it was seen as a potential judicial matter, which is absolutely ridiculous.

  have they changed it?

  The word "SUICIDE" occurs only six times in the "Shepherd the Flock of God" book.

  @blondie this is an outdated source, Richard I cited the current sfl-book

  I think the OP could be very right.

  Step One according to sfl they replace printed PRCs with electronic ones.

  Step Two they introduced in the EU a legal form for each publisher consenting his data being used wherever needed in Watchertowerdom. Those refusing report monthly, data i not collected, but not being in the database they can't hold any privileges above mic-bearer.

  Step Three they are working on Publisher-ID, yes, but this simply makes transferring data between congs and branches easier.

  Step Four they abolish reporting individual preaching hours. As has been described above they don't need it for planning literature production (though i doubt they ever really used it for this purpose. COs less and less regard hours as criterium for appointments. Above was mentioned the sfl no longer refers to this requirement.

  BUT: Being CONTROL FREAKS, publisher weill be pressed more than before to show up for weekly FSM. GROUP CONTROL. Regular publishers must show up at least once amonth, and the Group Oversser will report this, so the number of publishers can be transferred to the branch. Consideration for appointments willbe: does brother X show up every Saturday and joins the group or does he only show up every other Saturday and slips away after the meeting... Pioneers will still have to report their special privilege hours or at least whether they made it or not. Knowing hours can be faked easily this absolutely makes sense to me.

  This could be SOLD as a major relief to publishers while in reality it tightens the grip on the individual.

  Cheers

  particularly useful for CA and RC parts, to get an idea how others dealt with it before..

  @sir82 this is no improvement, it's policy already held for some time and taught at KMS to all elders.

  it's infuriating there is no question to the part of 14 you are quoting in the beginning of your post; as most dumbed-down readers will think this applies only to places where reporting is required by law as mentioned and asked for in paragraph 13

  The Society even admitted they had a problem with their pedophile leaders.

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  oh, yes, the society even admitted they had a problem with their leaders.

  a january 1, 1986 watch tower article (p. 13) stated: “shocking as it is, some who have been prominent in jehovah’s organization have succumbed to homosexuality and child molesting.” .

  in the watchtower article, they didn’t disclose the rest.

  Sure this meant Greenless as he was chased off the GB/Bethel in 85.
  Discussed in length a decade or two ago on this board.

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  a european jehovah's witness, who served in an important branch, has sent me the following rumor.. some serious sources are mentioned.

  it clearly shake my perspective of what is going to happen in the coming months.. i'm totally shocked !.

  the law firm managing all the interests of the wt has studied the problem in europe on data protection and actions on files and protocols of child abuse.
