To Current Elders or Former Elders I have a question ?

2. experiences
in the new elder's manuel they said that if you molested someone or been molested than you can't be an elder or a ministerial sevant even if it was before bastism .

i find that to be wrong because i thought when you got basptised than all your sins are forgivin, but thats the case here i guess..

with the new bible school for single brothers and bible school for christain couples .

do the witnesses have a program to turn people who been disfellowship or repoved multiple times into elders or ministerial servants?

in my time as a witness it seems that you need a "sponsor" to give the blessing to move up in the organization.. .

ok i've had three elders from other halls come encourage me to come back ( been disfellowshiped for year and a half now), but none of the elders in my home congregation would even look at me when i vist.

i asked my old p.o can he encourage me and he said i won't do that, when three other elders encouraged me to come back.. .

my question is was my p.o right are was he just being a jerk..
