  i could of gone to a two college program.

  but gee-hovah didn't like it and my parents wanted me to sling watchtowers and awakes.

  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 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i 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"...

  the last purpose of the governing body is to keep the maximum believers in that real Titanic...

  so sad for those who have no friends out of the cult ! So sad for the children ! this cult is sinking

  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.

  so 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.

  a third condition was "irregular publisher" when one month in the 6 last months was missing. You were only "active" if every month in the 6 last months was OK
