Elders intervening in family issues

by gatorguy in

does anyone know of any good scriptures or reference articles that i can show an elder to hopefully have him stop intervening in a family issue?

i already told him that i am the head of the house and that they're usurping my headship but they didn't seem to get the message.

This is Mrs. Toes . This happened to my family as well. I quoted no scriptures. I said...."you are being intrusive, we don't appreciate it and back off." They did. When they tried again, I said the same thing. They backed off again. I will say it as many times as they try to butt into our business. We owe them NOTHING!

Personally I would inform them very firmly to back off...no scriptures required! If they do not stop then threaten with legal action. Remember, they only have power over you when you give it to them!

"Well now at least they get a ressurection!"

by stuckinarut2 in

yes, that is what a witness said after the police shootings and terrible aftermath of violence occurred this week in the usa..... they said that it now gives them a chance to live forever...as if they would not have had that opportunity if they had not been tragically killed..... of course according to witness teachings, the contradictory thing is that if the big a had come a day before, then those same people would have been killed by jehovah because they were not his worshipers.....

Remember the Bunker video: "Our message went from good news to judgement."

That is all JW's know how to do well....JUDGE OTHERS. WT is creating a rift, us against them. They have divided families for years but are seeing quite a few JW's not following "theocratic direction". This WILL and HAS reached the media and social media. The JW's are getting quite a reputation. They are doing a great job hanging themselves. If a JW is not in a position to exit (family ties), I truly believe that the majority of these ones have quit donating. How better to strike back...hit em where it hurts...THE WALLET!

LURKERS: VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS!
