    Do men really ask those kinds of questions to each other.......???

    From my limited experience in Judicial Committee meetings, after the sin is admitted to one of the first questions they'll ask is "what was the first thing you did after you realized you had sinned?" or something similar. They were looking for the answer to be, "I prayed to Jehovah for forgiveness", which would be the first sign of repentance.

    A friend of mine hipped me to that M.O. of the elders and the few JC meetings I was in, that line of questioning always came up. One time, where I was in on the meeting, but not the accused/sinner, the person wasn't prepared for that question and did not answer accordingly. Then they asked if they prayed to Jehovah at which they said they felt too unworthy to seek him out. Good recovery, I thought.

    I was just asked such a question. I acted totally offended and asked why in the world would they be asking me that. What were you applying. I totally turned it on this elder and he just stammered. He was so flipped out at this point that he wanted me to meet with three elders because he said he felt I did not believe the Faithful Slave. I asked why he would think that? And I also said three elder is a JC why would you ask me to meet with a JC. He said no, no just three elders. I was like three elders is a JC and why would I meet with a JC.

    He was so mad, I told him to think about it and I had to get off the phone as I was at work. He did not want to hang up and I had to hang up on him. Its been two weeks and I have not heard from any elder so far.

    This is all because of child molesters in the hall and I asked him to show me where we are better then the Catholic's. Pissed him off really good. I said when was the last time the Catholic's sent a baby rapist to your door, we just sent one last weekend to other peoples doors.

    What kind of trouble were you in for him to even think of such a question....

    Were you caught roaming around the grounds stark raving mad, naked, sacrificing june-bugs to Satan by a pioneer or something?
