oh no.....as an ex-elder.....
DON'T DO IT
surprised me that he actually followed up on his word and called .
it will be strange after four yrs.
to have them in our house .my husband was not happy to hear it will be two brothers coming over, because he really does not want to feel we are being counseled .
oh no.....as an ex-elder.....
DON'T DO IT
to respond to serenity now's question on another thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/191790/2/ugly-sisters, let me start this thread about ugly brothers in congregations.
women, speak freely if you will.
were there any hot men in your congregations, i mean, men you wouldn't think twice about marrying?
I can't believe the young guys in their 20's and 30's that make no effort to take care of themselves. Overweight, bad grooming, socially inept........
I would look at all the cute sisters in that age range and wonder why they had any interested in a divorced 40 year old!!!!
Oh wait.....I was an elder........that made me special......LOL LOL
o.k i have noticed that most female jws are ugly.and by ugly i mean ugly.they won't work out,they are fat and won't go on a diet (some female teens won't even shave their legs),they neglect their appearance/body in general.any opinions?.
.
p.s many will eventually get fat after marriage.
I think I would like to meet babygirl30............... ;)
There were many attractive sisters....however, just as many as let themselves go. I can't believe the brothers 20 years younger than me that have let themselves go, are overweight, flabby, bad grooming......and sit around playing video games in their underwear. They are every bit as bad..........
The one thing about the really attractive girls is that their personality usually didn't match. I was a single elder......yeah, you can imagine......I never really knew if they liked me or the relative 'fame' that came from dating me. Status driven and materialistic. NOT attractive.
had some fun recently talking to an elder i know and he mentioned about the elders school he would be going to in december.
you should have seen his face when i said i bet he was looking forward to the new elders manual that he would be getting...
I'm so glad I won't be teaching at the School this time around.
Its a depressing couple of days.
i used to think of leaving early.
at the end i started making excuses to leave (supposedly work related) so that i could just get out of there.
i wanted a drink!.
I would think of the sisters with nice legs LOL
Oh.....and football. I would replay games in my head. No.....I'm not lying.
i told my mom that i'm not going back to the meetings.
i wasn't planning on telling her that but i've been going through some hard times with my husband and just got fed up with her hounding me.
so she asked if i'll still consider going back to the meetings and i just flat out told her no and that it wasn't up for discussion.
I wish you all the best.
I just did the same thing with my mother and siblings. They are devastated.... but they know me, I can't be fake.
i just watched a movie about me, my life, my philosophies, my personality, my experiences, my issue....... i'm totally spooked........i feel like someone wrote my life story and knew every detail.....every word out of my mouth.. unreal..

Unreal.
when still in the watchtower, i used to be an assistant ministerial servant.
true, there is no such title but its there unofficially for those one step to being a ministerial servant.
been with it for about three years.
I was an MS for 6 years
Elder for 11 years
Convention talks, KM School instructor, Public Talks, Memorial, weddings, memorials, WT conductor for 8 years, ....did all the other jobs too
I'm in my early 40's and trying to figure it all out. Lost a marriage (not really a loss to be honest; married as teenagers)....... trying to figure out if I want another relationship.....KNOW that I don't with a JW girl.....
Fade for over a year..... they are starting to catch on....sending emails, notes on Facebook, texts, etc. Just disconnected my phone and got a new number.
a couple of young people about 20years old,,,,were involved with each....they went too far with the being alone situation....not sure if they reported themselves or some one else did...reguardless.....i guess the elders asked both of them extremely embarrassing questions and very very personal ones...like what kind of underwear she wore,,,,,did she have an orgasm.....etc etc..... i do not understand why this is done?????
they went too far,,,acknowledged it,,,,met with the elders...why the deep personal questions??
they already had all the information they needed...... i should know these things,,,being in the borg for 30 years...but i don't,,,i really do not understand why????
Peaches,
I shut down fellow elders that pulled this stuff. Some of these guys have problems with porn as well....... then they get into this type of questioning.
Its insane.....
I would tell anyone thinking about enduring a judicial committee to RUN.... don't even think about it.
every friday at my job, i hear the usual.
"its friday!!
" "i'll be better in three more hours!!
My JW schedule as an elder:
Monday: Prepare Theo School Part
Tuesday: Prepare Service Meeting Part
Wednesday: Give both parts
Thursday: Study for Book Study
Friday: Study for WT Study
Saturday: Conduct Book Study; lead group in service
Sunday: Conduct WT Study
Week after week after week after week, while watching my fellow elders skip out of parts to go on vacations, etc. Throw in the almost monthly judicial committee meetings I was chairing for 10 years........and I wonder why I feel lost??
I now sleep until 10 on Saturdays, watch football all day on Sundays.........but still have no social life due to having no 'friends' since I've walked away.
Yeah........weekends have an all new meaning for me.
