4 years ago, after I was asked by two loving elders to choose between music and my place in the organisation.

When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.
i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.
i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

For me, it was exactly 4 years ago. I was caught playing "we wish you a merry christmas" with my wind band and DEMANDED by 2 elders to choose between "Jehovah's organisation" and "my music" with it's worldy members and "pagan works". Even if I would choose to remain in the organisation, I would be "helped for several months" to understand how serious my sin was...
When I left them, I knew I would never be back ! I wrote them a lettre who was not to dissociate but to explain why I would not attend meetings anymore nor share in the field service. I was very attentive to each word I used and then refused to meet 2 elders ou 1 elder with the "circuit overseer" but I proposed to share a good beer with an INDIVIDUAL elder, as friends for 30 years and have a conversation from man to man... THEY refused !
No regret !

Dumb Elders
by minimus ini knew a few pretty intelligent elders .
sometimes i would wonder why they remained as elders or even witnesses because they were successful men who made a good living and were highly respected because of their qualities.. that is a rather small group.
most elders that i know of aren’t the brightest bulbs in the sky.

I knew an elder who told us an incredible "secret" from the stage : He heard about "insect situations" among 2 families in the congregation...
I'm afraid he didn't make the difference with "incest"...

Here in France, no more cart-witnessing, no more door to door, no more meeting. Only zoom, internet, telephone and lettres. The end is so so near...
but every one is pleased to full the "online box" or to give money to the elders.

Another example of. Brotherly love you can only find in jehovahs organization
by nowwhat? inso my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.
my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.
to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

It was the same with my grand mother, she knew JWs during WW2 ! But she was Sister Nobody! No elder in the family, no VIP... So only 10 attended the office, and 10 others sent a kind word...
well, 70 years "in the truth" were worth nothing for those "so extraordinary people".
Very sad, but it was one among many elements which made me leave years later.
