The way the Borg works is these super fine apostles make these new direction rules at the top, who have no experience of real life never been parents or done a days work in the real world. They have no idea what things are like today having to get an education to be able to cope with the high cost of living.
They have this very high ideal in mind that they think everyone is almost there and they just need a little encouragement to get up there where they think everyone should be.
unfortunately things are not like that in the real world. Things have changed. Now people are struggling with cost of living crisis, mental health problems and to stick to this ideal is unrealistic
This new direction not have JDs if suicidal suspicion changes everything. They think the elders talking to them will be enough for them to stop whatever it was and carry on striving to reach this high level that nobody can ever reach.
It’s actually very comforting to everyone especially parents of teenagers. If there is a slip up just have to say the magic words “I feel so terrible that I’ve even considered ending it all”
then nothing else will happen. No JD so no way disfellowship and no more shunning.
