"Your good example is much needed for the young ones the congregation."

by Yondaime in

hey guys n gals, sorry its been such a long time since i've posted.

lately i've been very busy balancing between my school work and cult activities.

since i've been doing pretty well "spiritually"(enough field-circus hours, attending meetings, underlining my literatrash, reading, praying and serving as the mic-master) my coordinator grabbed me to the side after a meeting and talked to me for twenty minutes straight congratulating me about how good i am doing.. then he paused for a good five seconds and got all serious.. then he proceeded to tell me that the young ones in the hall aren't doing too well.

Hey guys n gals, sorry its been such a long time since I've posted. Lately I've been very busy balancing between my school work and cult activities.

Since I've been doing pretty well "spiritually"(enough field-circus hours, attending meetings, underlining my literatrash, reading, praying and serving as the mic-master) my Coordinator grabbed me to the side after a meeting and talked to me for twenty minutes straight congratulating me about how good I am doing.

Then he paused for a good five seconds and got all serious.

Then he proceeded to tell me that the young ones in the hall aren't doing too well. He told me that me and my older brother are the pillars of the youth in the congregation.

Now, you might think the young people in my hall are just not really active in the organization(i.e the kids who never get dunked at assemblies, or just hate being witnesses, want to be being normal teenagers). But in reality a number of them are in some really deep s***. Some of them have been involved in some things that are so bad I can't even give details on what they've done on this forum. I'd be running the risk of giving my identity away. Lets just say some of their actions were similar to a that of a man named Jonathan Kendrick.

My congregation has such a bad rap in the circuit its not even funny. My BOE is probably the most looked down upon BOE in the history of jwdom.

If my parents or anyone in the hall knew that I no longer believed the WBTS is god's organization, it would hit like a nuke. They think my brother and I are the only hope for the young people in my age group. I feel like there is this unnecessary pressure thrown on my me, its so freaking annoying.

friends

me ?

my after meeting ritual, is getting my suit off, and a beer in my hand....in less than 2 minutes from entering my door.

Yondaime

If its after a meeting where I have no assignments I'll have some milk n cereal as a snack or a glass of water.

If I gave a talk, watchtower/book study reading, or a part during the service meeting , I Binge on food like a mad man once I get home.

What was the longest Elder Meeting you have ever experienced?

by Yondaime in

a couple years back my hall had around 12 elders, and the body was literally divided into little factions of elders(gotta love jehovah's holy spirit !).

the branch sent 2 more elders to help resolve the issues between them, and that didn't help at all.. so when the circuit overseer visited, a meeting was held after the sunday meeting.

i waited in the hall by myself since the rest of my family was out of town for a certain family event.

A couple years back my hall had around 12 elders, and the body was literally divided into little factions of elders(Gotta love Jehovah's holy spirit !). The branch sent 2 more elders to help resolve the issues between them, and that didn't help at all.

So when the Circuit Overseer visited, a meeting was held after the Sunday meeting. I waited in the hall by myself since the rest of my family was out of town for a certain family event. I literally assisted 2 different meetings during my dads elder meeting. One in French and one in Spanish. Luckily I was friends with some people in the Spanish congregation, so I got to go out to eat with a family. I would've asked them to take me home, but I lived a 45 min drive from the hall I attended,thinking that the meeting would end by the time I returned, I asked them to bring me back.Once I returned to the hall the meeting was still going on, but this time you could hear yelling and a huge table-slapping noise. I was mortified and did not believe what was happening.

Couple hours later the meeting finally ended, and my Dad finally came out. Everyone including the Circuit Overseer looked tired, and their faces were sweaty. One of the elders looked like they were about to pass out. My Sunday meeting ended at 12:45 pm, and the elder meeting finished at around 9:30 at night. I was able to assist two meetings and go out to dinner! Once I returned it was still happening.

After that meeting 7 of the 12 elders were relieved of their positions.

What was the longest elder meeting you've ever experienced?

Did you ever hear yourself as a JW say something and think, did that just come out of my mouth?

by Wasanelder Once in

i was driving with a long time non-witness friend when a song by supertramp came on the radio and i changed it.

she asked "why did you do that?

i like that song.

Before I had woken up I had said that shunning relatives was good because it would encourage them to return.This was during a watchtower study. If I could go back in time I'd punch that version of me in the face lol.

As a JW Did You Often Feel "Guilty" About Something?

by minimus in

jw
friends

if muslim is supposed to be the religion of peace, jehovah's witnesses has to be the religion of guilt..

Yondaime

When I was 14 I watched porn for the first time. I felt so guilty that I almost went to the elders to confess. Good thing I didn't lol, my PO's elderette wife probably would've invited the whole congo just to gossip about it, like she does every sunday after the meeting to talk smack about everyone else.

The funny thing is their clique will have dinners every sunday after the meeting to gossip. I'm always invited since Im good friends with their son. And they NEVER invite the speaker,even if he has no where to eat. She does this on purpose so that once me and their son go out to play basketball they can start talking about EVERYBODY.

by minimus in

jw
friends

many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.

why be two faced?

why try to excuse it?.

Yondaime

In my lifetime I've been to two jw dinners that happened to "accidentally" fall on the day of thanksgiving.
