kate I have compartmentalized my "service" as an elder and I am honestly trying to be as helpful to people as I can. The JW's in my hall can sense that I am a little different I hear so many comments like "you are so understanding" "you are one of the cool elders" etc. etc.
I know that this is a cop out and pretty much I am living a lie but its what I feel I have to do in order to maintain my family situation. I really wish I had the "balls" to do what some on here have and just come clean to my wife and kids but I dont think it would end well for me. The loss of my family would break my heart.
As for the meeting we had... they will never say what they really feel, because like me, they know it would be the end. Some of them truly are deluded and convinced that GB is God. So sad but hey its their choice.

Just thinking for any BOE that has actively serving bethelites on the body it will be harder to not follow direction, hang on to some extra $$, express any negitive comments, bethelites on BOEs are usually 100% tow the company line

You are right about that...I used to be one of those tow the liner's. The feeling that I got during that meeting was that our BOE would do as told, period. This is the scary part of this cult, nobody openly questions anything the CCJW says and remains in for very long. Your family will be told that you are satanic and to shun you. Ex- Elders are treated worse than publishers in many cases since they "should know better.."

so goes their mortgage racket ... the poor really need a building , huh? I think there are things way more important than that , the religion itself is only supposed to appeal to the poor , I can not see the need for owning buildings anyway , for a 2 hour meeting you are supposed to come up with all kinds of money ? complete scam to me
