Fyi...
Hourly reports were nothing more than old-fashioned indulgences.
I may be imperfect and (God forbid) an employee, but I go to work 10 hours a month.
If you take away this indulgence from the victims of the sect, donating comes into focus.
The call to preach is now even louder.
With the purpose, all the more, of creating a bad conscience.
The term “field service” and “field service literature” dates back to around 1914, when the Watchtower Society sent the brothers into the trenches for military service and German Jehovah's Witnesses shot English Jehovah's Witnesses.
The old reflexes can last for over 100 years.
The word “Proclaimer” becomes just another meaningless term in the Newspeak of the Watchtower language.
I assume that the publisher's service card will soon have to disappear from the meeting documents.

The two elders will inform the student that if he qualifies and participates in the field service, he can submit a field service report and that a congregation publisher report card will be mailed in his name. This expresses his affiliation with the theocratic organization of Jehovah's Witnesses and his willingness to submit to it. (This also applies to anyone else who submits a field service report.)
By creating the hourly report, each member (so far verifiable in writing) will be a little less of an active part of the organization in the future.
By removing the requirement for all Witnesses to "turn in their hours," the Watchtower distances itself from the monthly routine of reporting to local elders, who report this raw data to the Watchtower's centralized databases.
Because there is a crucial difference between the abuse cases of the Catholic Church and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Only perpetrators who are employees of the Catholic Church are considered church child molesters.
Not every pedophile is automatically asked what faith they belong to and is then publicly and legally assigned to the church.
It's different with Jehovah's Witnesses.
Here, any publisher guilty of child abuse is considered an active part of the organization based on their monthly reports.
Therefore, the sect only separates itself from its members.
It's not a big loss anyway.
This “preaching service” was the greatest waste of resources in human history anyway.

If a publisher works 10 hours a month, he would have to preach for 86 years before he finds someone to be baptized.
If the publisher begins preaching at the age of 10 and lives to the age of 95...
