in the past year or so a local congregation has had several announcements that "so-and-so is no longer serving as an elder.".
one of these elders has served in the watchtower organization since the 1940's.
one thing apparent is the "organization's" lack of recognition and/or appreciation for its own.
I have read on this site things like this, he is still a JW in good standing, only get down as an elder , and this is related to peopel how have done abused things widh children or teenage girls, so in this case was it only said from the podium brother so ans so stepp down?
Why , perhaps beaucause they have a long time of serving jehova .and the siin is very old .
So this annonsment can also bee used to protekt some bad things or?.
jw's are told that they have a faith unlike any other.
what is the faith that the typical witness has??
?
"never deny anyone the appearance of happiness he own, you dont now hes secret sorros."
A very good thing to think about

Outstanding national response to "Give God Glory" conventions
UNITED STATES—Jehovah's Witnesses have successfully completed their series of "Give God Glory" District Conventions for 2003 in the 48 contiguous states. There was a combined attendance of 1,484,273 at the 200 conventions, and 10,283 new members were baptized. The attendance figure shows that almost one third of those who attended were either foreign visitors or were non-Witnesses.
Many favorable comments were received in connection with the conventions this year. William Van De Wall, national coordinator for the Witnesses' activities in the United States, notes: "We were very pleased with the response to these conventions. Being reminded of the value of spiritual things seemed especially timely this year, since many are disturbed by instability and anxieties. No doubt those who attended will benefit spiritually from these rich Bible educational programs in the weeks and months ahead."
This year three of the conventions held in the United States were designated as international conventions, hosting many visitors and missionaries from other lands. These programs were held during June and July in Pontiac, Michigan; Long Beach, California; and Houston, Texas. Many program parts were translated into several languages for the benefit of the multinational audiences. These three conventions are part of a larger series of "Give God Glory" International Conventions that are continuing through the end of 2003, with upcoming programs scheduled to be held in a number of places, including Australia, Chile, Hawaii, Japan, and Mexico.
The stirring Bible-based talks and demonstrations, coupled with heartwarming experiences shared from around the country, struck a responsive chord with many who attended the conventions.
All conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses are presented free of charge. There are over one million Witnesses in the United States.

This US wittneses, they are radher fanatic I think, I have grown upp in sweden,
always thinking we never now the day, bibel say so, why badher about that.
I have not sacrifce anything, have my one company, widh some inployies,
I have a near frind how was studing ekonomic, in the early 60 ies.
He have now a very nice work , making a lot of money, and do you now what he is also PO in A CONG IN US. He move ther in yhe 80 ies.
Inssurance is ofcourse some we all are obligated to have, even if in sweden the state fix this I have also privat insurance, if you dont you are irresponsibel.
When it come to marrige I find a marvelus wife in the truth, quess when i married 1975.
Now we have 5 children, one inn 3 out, they have fredom to do what they want from me.
I have also been elder fore over 20 year in this time, even if i quite now.
So some have your expiriens some my, I think you can not blame anyone, they have give you addvise, but it is upp to yourself to do what you think is best, and I havent been punnished fore the way I take, my friend in Us have surley not been pushed for he go aginst the addvise 40 years ago to not studie, he is as I say PO now so you can say he have been blessed, if you ant to bee sarcastisk.
We was some yongsters who use to joke about this how we think was littel to much fanatic, going to bhetel and things like that, we say they have very littel brain, perhaps it was like that I dont now, but please we have a brain to think widh and we are responisbel fore what we deside to do, never I can blame anyone else , this is unfair and a littel like 5 years old boys do.
