  i'm 16 years old and have been raised as a jehovahs witness.

  i'm currently considered a very spiritual brother, and have an assignment comming up for the memorial.

  but i realized it was all a bunch of crap last year at some time.

  The Revelation Book for me . . but the neat thing was that once you covered it at the book study, then the next two times it was covered you didn't need to waste time "studying" since it was already underlined and everyone would think you did a good job at your homework.

  Also think of the savings when buying a car . . you don't need to buy the big 4-door car for service or the van.

  You can buy an economical 2-door if you wanted!

  How Were You Affected By Elder/Ministerial Servants/Pioneer Appointments?

  by minimus in

  were you ever affected by seeing a man or even a teenager being made a ministerial servant or a young man being appointed an elder-----knowing that the person is not really qualified?

  you could be thinking, "i can't believe he gets to be an elder when my husband (or brother or father or friend) is doing everything but headstands for the elders!

  " when such appointments were made did you see to it that you would not go to that person for direction or counsel?

  My cousin (elders daughter) went to college (big no-no) and met a guy there. She started bringing him to the meetings and they would sit together. It must have stumbled some in the congregation who thought they were dating because all of a sudden they started sitting on opposite sides of the hall.

  About 6-8 months of him coming regularly he was baptized and they were engaged within about a month. He was appointed at MS shortly after that. There were some in the hall that had been in the "un-truth" for years and they had no priviledges. We think he got appointed ASAP because his father-in-law (my uncle) was a big shot at the hall.

  i think you are all going to get a kick out of this, .

  for those of you that don't know me, i have been out of the organization for almost 4.5 years but i have never been disfellowshipped nor have i disassociated myself.. last night after going out to a nice italian resturaunt with my girlfriend, father, and step-mom,( who never were part of the organization in the first place) my girlfriend and i said goodbye to them and we began the trip back to her place, which is 2.5 hours away.

  before we got on the turnpike she said, "that she had to use the restroom and could i please stop off somewhere.

  OH MAN!

  Of course the elders were probably thinking it was Jehovah's spirit that directed them to be at the grocery store that very night when you were there. . gotta keep the organization clean ya know!

  So in the 4.5 years that you haven't gone . .have they tried to contact you at all to see where you have been?

  So what was your worst Watchtower Moment

  we could all say every bit of our experience in the wt was the worst.

  i hated field service - i used to call it the agony hour.

  i'd like to know how many people hated field service as much as i did!

  Field service tops my list but two other instances I will NEVER forget.

  When I was about 17 I was "seeing" this brother from another hall. Nothing serious . .he would visit my hall, we would talk on the phone. My mom was pioneer at the time and the elders drug her into the back room after a Sunday meeting and told her that should could no longer pioneer if I was "seeing" the brother from another hall. I was very hurt and so was my mom. My parents made me break up with him.

  When I was about 16 I attended a quick build. This elder from our hall was there also (I could NEVER stand him). He came up to me all accusitory and said that someone spotted me making out with another brother at the quick build. I could not believe this!!! I denied it (because it never happened) but the sneer on his face showed me that he didn't believe me.

  I swear they had it in for me big time and I could never figure out why.
