  I know quite a few men in our small area who became elders after a divorce and remarriage. My ex was one of them.

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  I had a friend with two daughters. One was baptized. Getting married at Kingdom Hall her older sister never baptized was going to be in the wedding. The elders said no and said she couldn’t be in the wedding with tattoos. She said if they didn’t approve she would stand outside the hall all dressed up on the wedding day but refusal to go inside. This was going to be her protest. When it all came down to the wire they did allow her to be a bridesmaid. I was a very very close friend to this bride. Like a second mother but because I had DA myself I was not invited. There is no sense at all in this cult.

  Welcome to all the newbies and lurkers that have joined this forum lately.

  by smiddy3 in

  i`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .

  and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

  Welcome to any new ones or lurkers. I was a lurker in 2005. I was scared to death to join the group but it was the best thing I ever did. Baby Steps. That’s what someone told me. Today, I can truly say I have such a different and fantastic life. Freedom is a wonderful thing. Wishing you all freedom.
