I was supervising a class of 14 year olds and there were a couple of JW kids, a girl and a boy, both of whom want to go to Bethel. I told the boy I wasn't comfortable with all the changes the GB's been making over the years. I mean, I'm the teacher, right? Kids usually are interested in what I say about things.
He cut me off sharply and told me in that authoritative, emphatic, overbearing manner that the changes are necessary and the GB has to move with the times, hardly letting me get a word in edgewise! It was like I'd pulled the string on one of those talking dolls. When he wound down, I told him the Bible is the truth and the Bible never changes, so why should the WT (and cited the July 2013 about the FDS) then out pours this stream, as if on autoplay, about the light getting brighter thus the GB's understanding of the scriptures needs to be constantly updated.
Here I was talking to a teenage boy, but he had the manner, speech and trappings of an elder! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I just assumed most JW kids weren't that into it, but this mini-elder had me scared for them.
