  today i found out that the elder i admired and thought to be above reproach, was commiting adultery.

  the body of elders found out, and he was not removed.

  he also gave his part at the assembly.. this is the same elder that told me not to get married.

  rollercoaster,

  I know of an elder who was seeing a married woman with 3 kids while her husband was working. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there was more going on then studying one of the Societies latest publications. To make a long story short, the elder ended up marrying the whore of a woman and they both have custody of the three kids. They are all JWs. The elder was never even reproved. There was a lot of back stabbing and lying involved against the husband.

  What happened to the poor sap that was out working while his wife and MR Spiritual were playing games? He has not seen his kids for over five years. His son who was 6 at the time of their last conversation told his dad he was going to die in armageddon if he did not start going to the meetings and worshipping Jehovah.

  I know this story all to well. The elder in question is my biological brother.

  Re: "You wouldn't understand it unless you...

  i remember at a book study the conductor saying something about ho simple everything was and that anyone of us could easily talk for a minute about our beliefs.. everybody froze of course and was hoping he wouldn't pick them.. no one could or wanted to do it even amongst each other !.

  it's a sad indictment of the 'faith' isn't it.

  i have a theory that 90% of jw's could not tell you what the current beliefs were.

  Simon,

  I bet your theory is right about 90% of JWs cannot tell you what their current beliefs are. I wager that the percentage of JWs not knowing the (EXACT) history of the WT is about 99%. Since my departure from the org in 1989, I have had several dealings with JWs. There has only been two active JWs that I have dealt with that new some of the history and start of the WT. The rest new virtually nothing other than the names of the presidents, Russell, Rutherford, etc.

  Hands up those who fear Jehovah

  by dreamer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this in response to logical's post 'hands up those who love jehovah' it was an interesting question, but i feel that my 'response' is more suited to another topic.

  i think that one should refer to the bible to answer it though:.

  exodus 12:29. jehovah kills all the firstborn of egypt.

  I to must ask for forgiveness Brother Focus. I neglected this sound advice from God's theocrapic borganization and have three kids 15, 13 and 11. I also have 5 grandchildren by marriage to my fantastic beautiful wife. I praise God also as Brother Larc does for not rendering due punishment to me and my household for disobeying the sound advice of the organization to not have children over 60 years ago.

  normie,

  Keep hanging around here and post when you can. Most of the ones here are here to listen and help if they can.

  I also did as you are doing now, as far as putting your feelings aside for others in the organization. It tears you up pretty good!

  I am glad that I was terminated (it is a long story) in 1989. Leaving was much easier than staying in the org.

  normie,

  Trying to put a positive spin on things inside the WT once knowing the real truth about it can be a tough task. Just keep the positive spin a truthful one.
