  if so, did it bother you that he had been reprooved and forgiven rather than reported to the police?

  There was an Elder who used to hang out with all the little boys. He was DF and reinstated after about a year. My buddy was on the committee and he was conflicted about calling the police, he never did.

  Have you ever intentionally said crazy things from the platform?

  by B_Deserter in

  like have you said stuff that is just outright insane like "each and every one of us should be ready and willing to die for the society" purely in the hopes that you'd turn someone off?

  i imagine for most of us trying to fade that would be the most difficult thing to do, but some people are really good at shutting down and just going with a flow, too.. .

  i ask because it's the only possible explanation i can come up with for some of the really bat-shit insane stuff i've heard come from the podium.

  Hi Cognac, be strong and hang in there!!!!!!!!!!! You have a tough road ahead of you but you are on the right path. It's hard to find out the Truth of JW's it really cuts in the heart. Most Witnesses are very sincere and loving but they do not know any better. When i found out the lies i felt like the victium of fraud and i still do. You'll find out that people who found out the Truth where sincere people who wanted to do good and please Jehovah but along the way we realized the lies about the WTS. Enjoy your husdanb and be strong. Those that say they are your friends now will turn on you.

  My Personal Proof That Elders Are Not Appointed by Holy Spirit

  by TMS in

  this topic is not about men living sinfully at the time of their appointment as elders.

  it is not about pedophile elders, although i've personally known three, two who were pedophiles at the time of their appointment by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. first of all a quick summary of what jehovah's witnesses are taught about the appointment of elders and ministerial servants:.

  before the visit of the circuit overseer, the local elders meet to consider who, if any, among the local congregation they will recommend as elders or .
