i have served 20 years as an elder, 5 years as an ms. was on the district committee in 2010, held various positions on the district , circuit, and rbc level.
probably been on more than 100 judicial committees and even an appeals committee.
was the coordinator in our congregation and deleted because adult child was df ( i kicked him out at the time of his wrongdoing, but that wasn't enough for thr brothers).
Welcome James,
I too was an elder for more then twenty years when in 2006 I raised some questions about the no blood/fractions OK policy I was quickly removed as PO then after a visit from a CO was removed as an elder. We're glad to have you here stay strong and be patient, the truth about the truth will be revealed to you and you will be free.

Chance doesn't create things and I don't know how things are as they are but I'm sure you must know how it all happened.
Please tell us we can't wait.
they seem to have just offered me a job.
part of me is screaming "scam!
" as i seem to have received an offer all to easily.
It sounds like it might be too good to be true and we all know what happens when something is too good to be true.
Just be careful
i know of one case of a woman being marked for marrying a non jw.
do you know of other cases where someone did something and were marked and not df?
were any here ever marked?
They would not work, whether because they thought Christ’s return was imminent or because they were lazy.
So why aren't these lazy people marked today? There are many of them in the congregations today, they are living off of the government so they can pioneer.
and why did you choose it?
if you have a avatar, what is it and why did you pick it?.
ok ill start.
After expressing doubts about the blood doctrine to another elder in the congregation I attended, I was asked to meet with the rest of the elder body and the circuit overseer and after a 2 hour meeting which turned into a grilling by the CO, I was removed as an elder. This motivated me to start searching for TTATT.
I then became an "elder no more"

someone posted this on facebook and i found the image and words haunting..
Interesting
if a person who gets labelled as "apostate" says something truthful, yet, is unflattering or exposes the wt, it is automatically a lie......... because it came from an.... "apostate".... yet.... if the wt tells a lie, it is the "truth" just because it comes from the wt......and no-one checks to see if it is truthful...... is that right??

It's what's known as the WTL
Watchtower Logic
in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.
i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.
just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..
We love you Grace. You have to hang in there to see the fall of the Watchtower. Remember millions now living will never die so don't go anywhere yet.
