Blinders - Yes....they did indeed say that. My response to them was "I cannot answer your question as to whether or not I believe the organization is directed by Jehovah. Your answers to MY questions would go a long way toward ME being able to answer YOU."

I did ask a few specific questions but each was met with "we are not here to answer your questions" or "the book of timothy advises us to avoid answering foolish questions".
I finally said "I have a LOT of questions and thus far you've managed to avoid all of them. Flat out....are you willing to answer any of these?" The main elder said "no, we will not"

Why you may ask? Because I was recording it. Not for my benefit. Not even for the benefit of those that may want to hear it on Youtube. But for my daughters.
For many years, I could never find a reason that someone would go to and record one of these elder witch-hunts.
That is the best reason for doing so that I have ever heard.

Well done to you, and I hope in time it proves to your daughters that you are a good guy, a dad to be proud of. I'm sure it will.

The elders are cowards as are most jws I have dealt with. I applaud what you have done but I gave it all to them every time and when they came for my wife after me with a certified letter to meet with them I called the police and had a restraining order put against them. I had no fear for they were the ones that created me. As for my wife alas she was still DF fo doing absolutly nothing but not showing up. I have no compassion for them just as they had non for me.

The caveat in recording is to check on legality before doing so: many states are "two-party" consent states, where you need permission of the other parties to record or risk criminal prosecution/felony conviction (prison time + fines).

KS - That's why the recording is for my daughters only.

Well done! I would have blown my top at the "foolish questionings" remark!
