Recently, in our community, a well known Child molester died of old age complications. His victims were JW's who have had to bear those horrible memories. They are strong, and very faithful as to JW standards. But, they showed no respect for the man that caused them so much grief. He never was a JW. His children did become so.
Isn't it hard to accept that such will come back in the New System in the resurrection, but those who were DF'd will die at armaggedon?

Yes this happens. We dedicate the KH to Jehovah, and then we take it back for the money and sell it.

The members put two and two togeather when they see this brother freely commenting at meetings, or, when he is invited to offer prayer on behalf of the congregation. Then the assumption that there was no wrongdoing is satisfied.

When they announced my deletion, they just said. brother xxxx is no longer serving as an Elder.
My family stood by me, and I really appreciated their support. I couldn't even talk about the reason. That it was because some of my family members were not doing over 10 hrs a month in FS.
I kept my dignity, because the position wasn't that important to me. I do know of certain ones that would be devastated if this happened to them.

Expedite Elder Appointments?
by Simon Templar ini am out of touch with any new or modified procedures for elder appointments.
does anyone know, if an elder had deleted himself, and several years later wants to resume involvement, is there now an accelerated method for re-appointment?
does only the boe appoint or is the co concurrance and service dep't appointment still needed?

I remember at an Elders school over 13 yrs ago that the plans to streamline the reappointments of MS's and Elders would be forthcoming. I haven't heard of any easy reappointments lately.

Can You Be Disfellowshipped For Merely Repeating What Apostates Are Saying? Even If You Deny Belief In What Is Said?
by frankiespeakin insay a person wants to start making fellow jws think and open up their eyes so they decide to just repeat what they have read on some apostate site but deny any agreement with what read.
how many times do you think he could do it before being called into a committee, and eventually be disfellowshipped?.
how long could someone last playing that cat and mouse game walking on the edge repeating apostate criticism but denying agreement?.

So you want to know how long you would last, playing that cat and mouse game, eh?
About one month, 7 hrs, and 46 seconds. That seems to be the record. That record, last year, was almost broken by a American, but he was medically analysed and accused of taking steriods. So, he was disqualified.

Designated elder to shadow talks at the meeting
by wannaexit ini heard that there is an elder in each congregation that follows very closely what is being said from stage to make sure everything is being said correctly.
in all my years as a jw , i don't ever remember this at the local level.
is this something new?

This sucks. You would think that after your years of experience in giving talks that they would have confidence in your abilities enough to allow you the decency and dignity that you deserve.
Knowing that you are under the microscope only makes you too alert and you miss the naturalness of the speaker.
Too much Micromanagement.
