Elders are put in a paradoxical situation. They either keep secrets from their wife/family. Or they break elders' rules.
Knowing how women operate, there's a lot of congregational secrets that leak out during pillow talk.
i have a theory as to why elders' wives gossip so much.
i believe a big part of it has to do with the conversation running dry (between themselves and their elder husbands) after so many years of marriage.
since they don't get to spend too much "quality time" together (because of the elder husband's hamster wheel schedule), when they do have some intimate time alone, the elder's wives will invaribly attempt to engage their husbands in any kind of interchange.

I suggest browsing through the sites that link to jw.org. Most of them aren't that flattering for the Watchtower:

is it family, friends, idealism???
what????.

My mum became a Jehovah's witness just before Armageddon (the 1975 one). I was two at the time.
the jehovah witnesses most feared bible verse.
watch video and don't forget to share with your friends.
skip the ad and video will begin.
I don't think they fear any verses bible. If they did they wouldn't be Jehovah's Witnesses anymore.
Instead of fearing scriptures they resort to twisted Watchtower logic and reasoning to 'explain' almost every verse that contradicts what they teach.
with internet access to material published by the watchtower and it being offered free door to door and at the congregation literature counter it should not be surprising that the wtb&ts doesn't make the same profit as before when literature had to be paid for.. so the nonprofit corporation must turn to other sources of income, like playing bank with the congregation's money, as well as selling property of which they have a sizable fortune.
beg for more money from the mostly poor rank and file, suggest willing leaving valueble property to the corporation, mandatory tithing, and etc.... part of this sellable property are kingdumb halls owned by incorporated congregations which thier by-laws give the wt complete control.
as times get worse for this corporations i would expect them to be tapping this source of revenue more frequently.. they are selling all their brooklyn buildings, and closing down branches and selling the property, and they are selling kingdom halls(who gets the money?)..
In addition to the above they'll also start pushing elderly witnesses to bequeath real estate over to the Watchtower. Mark my words!
I know it already happens. But this time they'll step it up a few notches. Perhaps feature it in a few watchtowers and yearbooks. Not sure what angle they'll use? But does it really matter? Most are so brainwashed they'll follow anything, especially the elderly who've already devoted many decades.
Sure there'll be a few disinherited children complaining, but they'll be labeled as "apostates" if they get too vocal.
i was thinking about this today when i was mowing the grass.
when you look at the picture the borg always show of armageddon everything is destoryed.
i mean nothing left everything gone.
Who's going to pickup all the dead bodies after the birds have had their fill?

Don't you know, they're going to prance around selecting the best waterfront house, then they'll go shopping for all those luxuries they couldn't afford on a window washer's wage.
All this while watching the birds pick at dead and decaying bodies of non-believers.
what would be the most important things you think someone should be aware about jws if they are planning on getting baptised as a jw?
imagine you are on a plane and get talking to the person next to you.
you find out they are considering becoming a jw but they are not sure.
It depends on how deep they are.
Most who are at the point of babtism have been constantly love-bombed up till that point. So anything you say would need to break through that barrier.
I'd probably let them do most of the talking, and only ask questions in a non-confrontational manner.
