  Elders Can Hide their Own Sins from the Past-Yet Continue as Elders? Read

  by flipper in

  i was shocked ( though i probably shouldn't have been ) when reading the new elders manual concerning whether elders have to confess up about former sins from a few years earlier.

  notice this on pg.

  38 , paragraph 19 : it states, " if it comes to light or an appointed brother confesses that he has committed a disfellowshipping offense years in the past : the body of elders may determine he can continue to serve if the following is true : the immorality or other serious wrongdoing occured more than a few years ago, and he is genuinely repentant, recognizing that he should have come forward immediately when he sinned.

  Pretty sick if you ask me!!

  It really bothers me that I actually thought elders were special and loving at one time..silly me.

  We just avoid & ignore them and they seem to have stopped for now. In fact when they are door to door in our neighborhood the elders don't even bother coming to the door anymore they usually send the new ones or those we don't know We just don't open the door. The dogs are barking the kids have the TV and music going..we just don't care anymore.

  Took back our power!

  friday we were in the grocery store shopping .both of us were in a very good mood because our son was coming home for a visit ,and we were planning on some fun activities .

  then around the end of the aisle comes by husbands sister in law ( she is married to his step brother that is an elder) we nearly bump into her literally we are that close ...so i say ," oh hi ***** !

  " she would not even look at us and the expression on her face gave me chills ..pure contempt .

  I'm sorry you are having deal with the shunning I guess now your husband will know exactly what you mean when you mention how the JW's treat you.

  It's no fun!! But really the ones that looks horrible are the ones shunning.
