24General health after learning TTATT
by Darkknight757 in4 months ago i was conducting the watchtower study along with a long list of responsibilities that come with being an elder in a very goofy congregation.
during this time my health was going down hill.
i've always had a low blood pressure,(102/65 or abouts) but for the past year it had creeped up to 135/90 range.. so 2 months ago after learning ttatt, i'm still considered an elder because the brothers won't let me step down, but i haven't done anything in that time except comment once at a meeting a few weeks ago.

Washing and cooking? No GB member does that, should they? They have, most of them, wives and were and are under Bethel arrangement.
No laundry unless you wish to do so in the basement, breakfast, lunch at the table and supper up to you. Even on sundays we had buffet style cooked meals in the Bossert.

Hello, I'm new here too!
by redpilltwice inhi everybody, 1st post here.
20 years jw, elder for 6 years, regular pioneer for 3 years, have always been following the 2012 candace conti abuse case with much interest, especially since the case suddenly disappeared from www.watchtower.com's news section (thanks brother j. r. brown, office of public information, because it led me to "worldly" websites for more info), leading to more and more dissatisfaction , leading to jwfacts, jwsurvey, ad1914, wtdocuments etc., leading to my awakening about 4 months ago, now fading faster and faster to zero meetings and zero field service...and you know what?
it feels good!.

1. Sometimes
2. Same standaards. I stayed for a few weeks in Barr's room, Patterson. Nothing special, rather poor have to say.
3. Not by the rule, unless family or friends provide. The ones I knew didn't care.
4. ...
5. ...
6. ... Rolex watch. Is that the end of the world ? I got a IWC from my brother when in MS. What to do, throw it away?
Forget all the stories about them that are told here. I mean look at their suits, shabby like borrowed from their bigger uncle.

One would need to know the facts in this case...is he to blame? That has to be proven.
