History of DF - Question
by thedepressedsoul infrom reading crisis of a conscience and members here, i have gathered that df was originally a means to cleanse bethel and stop apostates from spreading their own thinking inside the organization.
.
when did it also branch over to sinners that were struggling with an issue that relapsed on multiple occasions?

When a crime is commited?
by Drifting Away ini responded to someone on another thread, but would love to know this answer.. if a victim adult or child goes to elders and claims they were abused, don't they have to have clergy confidentiality?
so i was told that they encourage the victim to contact authorities , and they contact bethel, but arent there hands tied if the victim does not want to go to authorities?
an elder made the comment to me once.

Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"
by ab.ortega inoh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.
at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.
the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

I was at a rehearsal for a demo in a talk and waiting my turn and listening to a demo in another brother's talk - and the DO and the CO were there.
Speaking of rehearsals. It was always strange to sit through one. Usually a group of about 50 was in the room as the participants rehearsed the part. Then when the DO and CO were making adjustments, they almost whispered to the participants and everybody else was watching and trying to hear what he was saying.
Was this just at our rehearsals?

Resolutions at Kingdom Hall
by sieborg inanyhow i got to thinking today about my days in the borg and the resolutions that would intermittently be made in the announcements for co visit expenses, sending a donation to society www fund etc.
my point is that while i was in (almost thirty two years) i never once saw anyone put up their hand to vote against a resolution that the body of elders proposed.
on a couple of occasions i heard a few hushed murmurs but i never saw one person vote against.

Not once did anyone ever disagree. Being the one announcing the resolution, I sometimes forgot to raise my hand. Lol. I don't think anyone ever even noticed, though.
A major decision as big as sending over 48 grand to branch with the new KH arrangement was not even questioned. hmmm

At times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted. Well, they are not. The speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about. Then he has to ask around and find someone who fits it or is pretty close. The whole thing is prepared and sometimes the experiences are not exactly true but rather embellishments to make a point, etc.
I remember participating once and the interview was about leading a "simple life" The elder with the assignment guided me in what to say. How this simple life was good and how it allowed me to regular pioneer, etc. All the stuff we always hear. When in reality, I had just purchased my own house and was driving a brand new car. Why I ever really went along with that deceit, I do not know.
Did anyone ever have this sort of participation as an interviewee or interviewer? Comments?
