  What Type of Elder Body Did You Have?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was an elder in two different congregations and both were conservative and strict, especially congregation number one.

  it was headed by a former branch servant as they were called back then.

  all elders were by the book.

  Elder with short mans syndrome used to pick on my mother as my father was never a J.W.However my mother came from a fairly rough background and wouldn't take any s##t from him and they clashed.....want to council her on anything...make sure you have your facts rite as she wouldn't just lie down and die.

  Elder that liked to lord it over everyone.Had the book study at my place now and then we would have refreshments after the book study that i stopped because i got sick of food being spilt into my carpet.Elder lord it over decided that seeing our book study was being split up he announced there would be a supper after next weeks book study and everyone to bring a plate.

  Everyone that arrived with a plate of food i politely asked them to take it back to their car....Elder lord it over said nothing...neither did i..i didn't have too.

  Ex-JWs In The Dating Scene - It's A Whole New Game

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since leaving watchtower it still strikes me as odd how little i knew the real world and how it works.

  i thought i knew how it worked but it turns out i didnt.

  as jws we were always "courting with a view to marriage".you go on one date with a girl and everyone's expecting you're gonna marry her?

  Pale emperor.I too had the same experience.When my marrage split up i joined a dating site not realy knowing what to expect after meeting quite a few women i finaly found the one and we have been togeather 4 years.

  Dating outside the J.W's is a whole diffrent experance to dating inside the J.W's casual sex is everywhere if you want to find it.

  So how did JF Rutherford function...?

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every picture i have seen at him at beth shirim and other private places are with a bottle of alcohol.. while for me personally i couldn't care less anymore.... for jw's this is low moral character.

  so i'm an going to guess he was a functioning alcoholic... how did that work with his closest workers?

  was he gay too?

  Richard oliver ,Were does it say in JW land that "Even with the allegation of child molistation won't be able to receive a position of responsibility in a congregation"?

  Read the Elders hand book it says "After a number of years they can"

  I know of one guy that Raped his sister and now is an Elder.

  I am leaft to wonder how many more cases will come to lite before you and the WTS see there is a major problem!!

  Suing The Watchtower Corporation For Pain And Suffering Caused By Clandestine Trial Of Corporatly Biased Impartial Judges (A Real Ordeal)

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i mean they routinely question the "invited" guest of dishonor to their proceedings: if they have any prohibited recording devices and won't allow any witnesses to be present.

  this is cruelly horrible treatment of a human being,, i say this can be a slam dunk in the courts.

  maybe not millions but definitely some nice returns for the person and his lawyer.

  Is There Anywhere To Go for an Outed JW elder/pedophile enabler?

  by mrmagic in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  since the australian royal commission, a lot of jw elders have been outed for either being pedophiles/molesters or for enabling it.

  the jw elders who enabled it, are publicly outed to their community online and offline.

  it's become a congregational matter with the entire kingdom hall and someone said that this elder would lose his eldership possibly, due to it "being known in the congregation and community" that he enabled child sexual abuse.
