A very warm welcome LoveforGod. You are in the right place here to ask questions and not get shadyanswers, snubbed, or no answers at all!. Here you will get as many answers as the people in the forum, as varied as possible , all from different angles.So you are going to see a lot of color and info that will help you on eway or the other.
Your own words say it all,
yesterday i asked an elder because the sister teaching me didn't want to ask for me, so i asked the elder if me wearing the head covering would stop me getting baptized in the future, and the elder said basically i would have to make a choice and as time went on i would see what is the right thing to do.
In my opinion/experience this is generally what they do to new ones who are having a Bible study so as not to scare you away. Why is it so difficult ot give you a straight forward answer? You did not ask a very difficult question! Also why would the sister not want to ask the elder the question for you? Did she give you any reasons at all?
the watchtower seems to have a lot of power over the congregation and just getting this simple question answerd there is proving difficult.
If getting a simple question answered is so difficult , can you imagine how much more difficult it is going to be if you asked really serious questions; questions that have a very high impact on you and your kids life?
You also mentioned that your daughter has differing views and because of that you wont be able to talk with her (if I understood you correctly), do you know about shunning that the jw's follow? That is heart-breaking, life wrecking!
The bible says in Proverbs 27:12 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
Do tonnes of research because this is your life
Wishing you my best.
