It is official. I am an elder now!

It happened last night guys.

I got early to the KH and the BOE came to talk to me. They ask me to read the Bible and asked me a couple of questions. One of the questions was "Have you ever abused of a child?". Of course not! (Didn't the Holy Spirit knew that already?)

Question to elders and ex-elders: Did you get asked that question also, or is this something new?

Anyway, they announced it to the Congregation. They were so happy. I was a little sad.

I wonder if my decision will help my family to free themselves. I'll keep you posted.

Ootb,

I think yer F'd up!

To be part of something you definitely "do" not believe in is as hypocritical as the WTBS itself.

What were ya smoking? Er, drinking, whatever .

So, I suppose saying "Happy Easter" would be inappropriate....

JCs? I don't know. Each case is different. If I can do some good, I'll go for it. If it is something fishy, I'll call sick that day. I think. Not sure.

Hypocritical? I don't think so. I am just in a difficult position and I don't want to lose my family, but maybe this will wake them up. Maybe they will think: "How's is this possible? how comes OOTB is an elder? He always says things that sound soooo different to the WT. What happened to the HS?". I hope.

Like anyone would tell the truth if they were a pedophile!

Well, you will learn that it is the elder's manual that they go by, not the Bible.

The Holy Spirit works in strange ways

Congratulations

It is official. I am an elder now!
