  i've been lurking this board the past few days and reading a lot.. i'm a 30 year old male from an unnamed european country, i was brought up "in the faith" by my jw-parents (my father is an elder and was even the "head elder" (i guess that's not the proper english term, english isn't my mother language) for a while, although i believe he stepped down when i faded away, but was reinstated as an elder later.

  i never really had any interest in religion or god, not even as a child, even with my perfect jw upbringing.

  it always felt like a chore and i did my jw duties, but just the bare minimum i could get away with, living at home with jw parents (attending the 3 meetings every week, and going to do field work 1 hours on saturdays).. at around age 15-16 i got baptized, i was not directly pressured to do it but some hints were made by parents/elders.

  The Watchtower Is Never "Really" Wrong

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no matter what they say, they're never really wrong.

  misstatements serve a purpose!

  they always reinvent their words or simply deny ever teaching certain things.. the witnesses are not a humble group of christians.

  The doctrine is constantly changing..Why?? Why the constant new light theory?

  Refer to Malachi 3:6 and rethink, why the change..

  Stoopid people..

  Elder uses Congregation Bible Study as an opportunity to ban the movie Avatar

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night, during the congregation bible study, the conductor (overseer?

  ) used this as a platform to say that the movie avatar is of satan and no christians should see it.. .

  he said that he googled the (original) meaning of the word avatar and it was of hindu religious origin.

  Elders who step down for little or no reason?

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  within the past decade, two elders stepped down in my old congregation.

  actually one was taken off for commiting adultery and therefore reproved, but the other one simply stepped down for no apparent reason.

  also, in another congregation i used to attend for a short time, i was shocked to hear of another elder stepping down, again for no apparent reason.. i am wondering if there has been an increase in the number of elders stepping down for no obvious reason and to see if this is a worrying trend causing alarm for the society.. i am thinking the past 10 years, particularly with the internet being available to so many people around the world today; but have you experienced many elders stepping down in your congregation or past congregation?

  I didn't know of anyone until after I had left. I heard one pretty strong in da shit stepped down due to psychological problems. I always thought this guy was mental but then again they all are. I knew this guy personally and would have never thunk he would step down.

  Well said OOTB and glad to hear from you. I wondered where you've been but I also don't come here like I once did. The last I heard you were going to work from within the borg to get people out.
