Seems very easy to leave now, why do people hesitate?
by Xanthippe inwhen i see people on here saying they've looked on several sites before this one, jwfacts, jwstruggle, youtube, etc., and then they make friends here, sometimes meeting up with ex-jws, it seems incredibly easy compared to leaving in 1989. .
no internet, no amazon to find ex-jw books, no facebook to link up with ex-jw groups.
still people find it so hard to leave.

Texan Billboard
by Pubsinger indidn't the judge rule in the candace conte trial that wts did not have a responsibility to notify the congregation only to protect them?
i think this is hugely missing the point.
other churches and organisations have strict policies to protect members from sex offenders but they do not 'notify' in the sense that i think these people want.. so the wt response to that particular question will be 'no.

JW elders can leak every other "confidential" subject matter that is considered within so-called "confidential" meetings among the elders, including a boy that seeks an elders help concerning the MA word and ;the involved elders will continue to bring it up years later if the young man is ever considered a servant or an elder. An elder will report when someone brings up his recommendation, "Well, you know a few years ago he had a problem with the MA word." Another elder, "Could a couple of brothers go and ask him if he has self-control now and has conquered the MA word?"
Why is it so hard for these mentally deficient people? Can they reason, that there are times that they could discreetly let the congregation servant body know, and then pull their shunning crap on the accused. I swear, just as they do with the minor incidences like a teenage boy or girl that walked down the hall at school holding hands with a "worldly" boy or girl? and it is reported to the elders then the teenager. The guilty teenager is then shunned by every family in the congregation for years? But NOOOOOOO, "We can't tell anyone about a pediphile, it's confidential". They are just idiots. As Jesus said, they strain out the gnat and gulp down the camel.
Maybe a lawyer needs to establish that there really does not exist any confidentiality what-so-ever or even pastoral confidentiality. When everything else minor is revealed by gossip within the congregation except the dangerous stuff then doesn't the body hold a responsibility? You either have confidentiality or you don't.

The new LDC / RBC Requirements
by DwainBowman inthe new ldc / rbc.
requirements.
there are many requirements, but when you get to the end of the form.

DucatieJoe,
Yep, I remember the first time I worked at Wallkill Watchtower Farms a brother that had a very successful business was in the sheet metal shop building a mechanic's parts washing tub that you can buy at Northern Tool or Granger Supply for around $200. He was so upset, he was spitting nails. Temporary workers were always disposable trash to Watchtower. Oh, well, really all the workers are.
When I worked at some of the foreign branches, we did the same thing for the Branch Committee because they couldn't read a plan and visualize. I can understand having an artist do a rendering but build a mock up?? Total Waste of time.

DwainBowman,
Interesting developments. I'm wondering if they have these new requirements because they are realizing that they have many more mature witnesses waking up to their BS, including a list of elders that will continue to post the Letters to the Elders before they are even available to most elders, etc?
If they make it more demanding to participate in the LDC then only the most devoted hypnotised will participate. They mentioned in their original talk, introducing the LDC, that they were going to eliminate people like Gideon did down to 300 men, "to show that Jehovah is behind their work".
Another thing is, maybe they realize that the majority of their RBC workers are aging and the younger ones are not replacing them. So drastically cut the participants and lean out the workers make the die off of workers seem less.
I know this,... I have relatives working on the Warwick project that are in their mid 60's, if the WTBTS needs your skills it doesn't matter how old you are, they will roll out the red carpet and do whatever they need to love bomb you so that you will stay to build their retirement home. If your wife is elderly and can't work a full week, then she can work two days. Remember they said that anyone over 50? could not work at Warwick? Well, evidently that is not set in stone orrrrrr, the whole truth.
