I have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer. I had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap. I knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult. But many were into the small bit of power over a congregation and loved it. I used to tell an elder I grew up with, being an elder is like being the president of your local book club of 20 people. Its not really a big deal.

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

I think that the JW cult has done a lot more than bring a few law suits to bear. I believe they use any means legal or illegal they think they can get away with to stop anyone critical of the org. The Scientology cult has had more attention paid to it over time. We are just getting started on the JW cult. Don't be at all surprised to find out one day that the cult has not sent its minions to infiltrate events like the apostafest ect to get information on ones who are PIMOs. I can also see a huge clamp down on anyone who is trying to fade out. We have already seen harassment by elders on those who are apostates. Give these scum bags time they will ramp it up.

This is not even close to the cult I grew up in
by phoenixrising ini was watching some of the may jw cult broadcast.
this push to be a movie studio and other things makes this cult seem like something else entirely from what i grew up in.
they really are trying to use anything they can to hook suckers into being cult members.

Just like in Scientology they are too stupid to know that this kind of tyrannical behavior only makes more warriors.

Are Ex-JW's Suffering From Burn Out?
by IWant2Leave inthe reason that i ask is, in the two years on this forum and you tube, i've seen ex-jw's either drop off entirely or make fewer and fewer videos.
i know the emotional toll can be high.
is that the sole reason, or is it cost (video) or do you think it's external pressure (legal or family)?

Some may be but not many and we are getting more all the time form the cult. Also very few if any go back to the cult once out.

Screw the UN. Its not only impotent but it can not trump the sovereignty of a nation. England is the first to say their sovereignty is more important than joining some BS group. In the US it would never trump the constitution. Personally we need to kick out the UN and pull away from it. Its corrupt and does not have our nations best interest at heart.

When do the 2300 days begin?
by Kosonen inwhen to begin the countdown of the 2300 days?
to get an idea, it could be helpful to discern when those days end relative to time times and half a time.. i see a possibility that the 2300 days end the same day as the 1260 days.
that is because the woman in revelation 12 will be fed 1260 days.

The OP seems to be very confused. Are you really buying into this Biblical mumbo jumbo? This is just nuts.
