Have You Ever Rejected Being Appointed an Elder/MS Before the Announcement?
by GermanXJW inwhen i was a jw several brothers (ms) told me in private that the elders had asked them several times if they did not want to become an elder.
they said they rejected because it was too much responsibility for them.
were you ever approached that the boe wanted to make you an elder but you refused?

In one congregation the Secretary told me that if you really want to help the brothers and sisters you should not be an Elder. BTW, I was never asked and stayed the MS that I was until I resigned. I moved several times and was reappointed a MS each time.

Maybe it was the COs personal opinion.

A CO said if you do not want to become an Elder you cannot be a MS either because you have to reach out. However, I am wondering if the JW who told me those stories were just bragging and in reality were keen to get appointed.

Can Elders who resigned or were demoted ever be reinstated as Elders?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy cousin and another elder in my congregation were demoted{they were asked to resign} about 5 years ago.
they both had teens who were disfellowshipped at the same time.
the reasoning was that,'' if you can't control your own household how can you control members in god's house.

Will the GB get rid of the WBTS?
by jefferywhat inthis is an out there discussion, and probably running a little ahead of the organisation but.....
ever since rutherford took charge, the organisation has over shadowed the actual "hands on" worship, i.e.
in one year alone, it was pointed out on this forum, if a witness read all of the literature and the bible as prescribed, it would be like 120 pages of the bible and over 3000 pages of watchtower printed material.

The WTS will be continue to be used as is IBSA. If they would cease those organizations the Russellite Bible Students would take over the names.

When this news came out I forwarded it to my father to prove that the "truth" is changing again. He replied that he likes the "New Light" because the old tenet did not make any sense to him.
