I haven't quite wrapped my mind around all of this, but it's very interesting.

The elders want to see me also
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini mentioned a few times,that in terms of making my time for the past few months have been really difficult.simply because i cant teach something i don't fully believe...so my service has gone down,i used to comment a lot--haven't done that in a while----meeting attendance like normal but now i don't stay back after...or come early...or help with cleaning..... .
so some weeks ago the cobo asked me a completely irrelevant and in no way helpful question---"you did't think that i notice how upset you look these days----that's not a fruitage of god's spirit!".
yeah so today he saw me and asked me a series of question....all which i gave really short answers to...long story short--he says that he would like for me to meet wih the rest of the elders after memorial........ .

Not answering their questions and refusing to meet with them will raise new questions.
Telling them what they want to hear can put the issue to rest and buy you time.
I'm not promoting one idea over the other. I'm explaining how these situations go down in real life.
The game is rigged and you owe them nothing. It's a destructive cult and you can prepare to be underwhelmed and disappointed with Jehovah's loving shepherds.

An update on a recently sold WT property in Brooklyn Heights.
The Watchtower residential property at 161 Columbia Heights that closed March 20 after a $3 million sale to investment and management firm Sugar Hill Capital Partners, is back on the market less than two weeks later as a rental. According to Curbed, after a quick renovation, the newly named five-story walk-up “161 Heights” offers one bedrooms starting at $2,995 a month; one studio for $1,995 a month; and one 2BR, asking $4,100. Amenities include laundry and storage space. Occupancy begins 4/1.
The listing is managed by Massey Knakal Realty Services, which also sold a Johovah’s Witnesses-owned multi-residence at 50 Orange Street, to the same buyer in January for $7.1 million. At closing, Knakal told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle that 161 Columbia “has been immaculately maintained since the prior owner purchased the property in 1988.”
In all, the 6,273-square-foot building contains seven fair-market, one rent-stabilized and two rent-controlled units. See the property’s website here.

You can expect the following two questions.
(1) Do you consider yourself to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
(2) Do you believe that Watchtower is God's Organization?
If you don't want to be disfellowshipped, you must answer 'Yes' to each question.
Additionally, you must deny having any contact with 'apostates' or reading any 'apostate' literature.

If you don't tell them what they want to hear, they can disfellowship you. Keep that in mind.

"I think most of us not familiar with country music would best know him from the theme song of The Beverly Hillbillies."
Good point! Everyone has heard that one.
