That's like not liking soccer because of the referee ....No in my case it was the teaching and doctrine. Leaving the religion because of an elder ...no. Maybe my situation has been a little different, but even the attitude of brothers in charge of missionaries didn't change my mind.

23How many "leave the truth" because of the behaviour of harsh elders?
by stuckinarut2 injust wondering how many are assisted to wake up after experiencing harsh treatment from "the loving shepherds of the congregation"?.
perhaps some were starting to wake up, and such behaviour or treatment gave them the push to leave?.
as jesus supposedly said "come to me all who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

A find on Fred Franz's "system of things"
by careful ini was looking at the footnote in the 3rd ed.
of weymouth's nt (1912) on an unrelated topic and i happened on the phrase "the passing away of the present system of things" (p. 659 n. 2).
when i was in, i remember reading that the nwt "committee" (= f. franz) came up with that "system of things" rendering of the greek aion from john parkhurst's very old lexicon.

Losing my Hold On JW speak. Has it Happened to You Yet and if so, How?
by Wasanelder Once ini was reading a post on here and the poster said she went to the door twice because her mother made her go again when she didn't see her children talk to the man.
the poster said, "at least i got an rv out of it.".
ok, its been a few years, but for the first time i thought of "recreational vehicle" and not "return visit" when i read this.

It is not a rv or BC because the girl didn't talk to the man. Anyway a strange story, what happened, the man opened the door and they just started stearing at each other?

They were Ridiculously overrating themselves by doing this. What were thinking? Someone was interested in an autograph? Even John Barr got that low, I cant believe it.
:) Niw I see the date of that Watchtower...that must have been the last I have read.

Dixon...yeah we had his fat daughter as a need-greater in La Vega, dominican republic. Pain in the a.. Like her father. Extremely touchy about her skin color. She thought the missionary-home was her place. No way Oprah Winfrey. She didn't last long.
