What is stored in the "congregation’s confidential file,” ? What would the elders files have that the main file doesn't? Other than notes of the investigation - oh and of course references to the 'wild talk'.

AUSTRALIA | Media Article - Leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses ordered to destroy confidential records
by jwleaks inleaders of the jehovah’s witnesses ordered to destroy confidential records.
a letter obtained by inq has shed light on the secretive methods the jehovah's witnesses are undertaking to erase the impact of child sexual abuse within the sect.. by georgia wilkins sept 10, 2019. a body representing the jehovah’s witnesses in australia has written to all elders of the group ordering them to destroy confidential records, including notes taken by elders investigating child sexual abuse, in an instruction that has enraged survivors of abuse inside the secretive christian sect.. in a letter obtained by inq, dated august 28, a body called the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses (australasia) instructs elders to destroy so-called judicial hearing records and certain congregation notes.. “we ask that each elder check his personal computer, or hard copy files, and even his meeting bag, to ensure that no confidential correspondence is retained outside the congregation’s confidential file,” the letter states.
it also directs elders to destroy information aired against so-called “wrongdoers”: “if this ‘wild talk’ is recorded in detail, it may not be accurately assessed when reviewed out of context,” it says.

personal face smacking reaction on my part as I read your post PE. Unbelievable how far their minds will take them down the rabbit hole. Now Satan is using her health to dissuade her from taking care of it. So sad she couldn't even acknowledge you either.

If you saw a governing body member being pummeled would you help them?
by Tenacious inbefore you answer; .
think about how they could care less how many families are broken up just to retain their power.
how they could care less if members are driven to suicide because of the deep programming and severe depression or strained family situations.. how they would rather let members die in order to retain their power and refuse to acknowledge their faulty bible reasoning regarding blood.. i could go on and on and on.

The site that shall not be named ...
by Afterburn ini know people are concerned about adding positively to jw stats on the site that shall not be named, but i don't think the argument is a valid one, because they are going to see cause to brag on themselves whether the stats rise, stagnate, or fall.
it's built into their self-conceits.
here's the menu you get when you create a user account on that site.. .

Unreal and Wow - only things that come to mind. Then again they have to get money for the pedophile lawsuits from somewhere.

Not for nothing but I had the German measles and the red measles; chicken pox and mumps. There were no vaccines for those diseases then. There was a shot for Polio, but I was home sick that day and never did get it.

Why do some JWs love seeing others get disfellowshipped?
by Tameria2001 ini'm not sure how many in the organization is like this, but there some jws who love seeing others get disfellowshipped, and my father-in-law is one of those.
he became a jw because he loved the idea of being the head of the household, and lording it over his family.
as a jw he is very hypocritical, my husband would tell stories of how they would celebrate christmas until his mother-in-law called him on it.

Not supporting the JW's in anyway, but for the first time it sounds like they did the right thing - private reproof and told the rest of them to STFU.
As for your FIL - he is just an asshole, regardless of his faith.
