  i almost died reading this list from the private jw group on facebook.

  usually the posts there are quite nauseating, but this topic was priceless.

  soooo, i've been sudying the bible with a 10 year old girl for two years now...her mother recently got baptised.

  since i've been having doubts about the org i've centered our discussions on god and the bible and less on pleasing the org...i was doing fine.... until i invited an older pioneer sister to accompany me on the study....heeeeeeesh...she changed the topic from having manners to becoming an unbaptised publisher....she went onnnnn and onnnnn about "don't you want to please jehovah and jesus, wouldn't you like to put in a form every month and you do love jehovah and want to tell others about him,right?

  " i was so upset.. i treat and love this girl as if she was my little sister and i do not want her to nose dive into this religion...she's a child for god's sake!.

  if you all were ever a part of the jw's, you'd know what a difficult situation this is-----if i leave , they will have her baptised in five years max..

  i can try to help her not give in to what everyone else is saying....i don't know

  i love her very much and i regret agreeing to studying with her in the first place...

  but now i'm here, struggling myself, and trying to help her....

  if i stop her study...would that make things better??

  of course not...there'll just be a more indoctrinated person there to force her to do things she doesn't want or need to do

  I treat and love this girl as if she was my little sister and i DO NOT want her to nose dive into this religion...she's a child for God's sake!

  She has always been one to tell persons what she believes...she talks to her friends without any pressure....it should be like that...she shouldn't feel pressured to make 5 or 10 hours every month...she should be just as it is now---talking about god whenever she feels motivated to do so...noo pressure

  So i told the sister that---she looked SHOCKED but the girl looked relieved

  One of my friends gave me an experience where 4 out of the five elders partook of the emblems....Daddy elder and his three son!!! He said they were all looking at him and following whatever he was doing...big uproar after.

  Then last year an overly zealous pioneer whose elder husband gave the talk came early and took up all the seats in front for her studies...so when her studies would arrive she would get up in a huff during the talk,go collect them and march them up to the front of the hall to sit so everyone could see...on her last parade,she tripped on her modest gown and plunged face down unto the ground and skirt flew over her head!!!!!....yea EVERYONE in the left side got an eye full!!! The attendants helped her up and she sat down and continued finding the scriptures for her studies..the odd thing is --her husband giving the talk didn't even budge,pause or look concerned...the talk went on!

  An Elder's honest opinion...saw this on another site...thoughts?

  by "shadow elder".

  before i express my opinion to the readers and contributors to this website (www.ex-jw.com), i would like to explain who i am and to present my bona fides as someone qualified to comment on this website and jehovah's witnesses in general.. first of all, i am an active jehovah's witness living just outside of new york city.

  being a large metropolis, new york has many kingdom halls located within the city and several more in surrounding boroughs, counties, and suburbs.
