i know what they are supposed to be like.
but at this point in time, do you think the elders look joyful?
are they serious bible students?
Elders are just like they were back in the late 70's,80's,90's and 2000's
The nice and humble elders usually get the boot and are not allowed to make any decisions.

here is the situation.... a young 19 year old in our congo had a fallout with his parents because of all the restrictions and jw dogma and moved out of the house last wednesday.. to make the story short, the parents went running to the elders and what was the comfort?.

your son never reached out to get baptized.. then the other elder said: don't worry, you still have one left that will be saved.
Thank you everyone !!!! I will prepare with the advise given and I will be ready this Sunday not teach my wife, but just guide her and let her come to her own conclusions.
I also wanted to give you guys an update.
My wife's 19 year old son came back to the house but he is standing his ground. (I am happy to hear that) He also stated how he will not dump his new girlfriend, that he is going to find a new job and save some money and move out of the house.
When his mom said that he had to follow rules and if he did not change, their relationship was going to change in a drastic way. Her son bravely stated that he understood how her religion makes her act this way and that he is not going to allow the elders to pick on him
It was also impressive that during the conversation his mom told my wife her son was calm and not disrespectful or rebellious .
I wish I had this same attitude when I was 19. Now I want to find out if he knows TTATT
Now BTW, my wife is a hard cookie to crack but I have to take it slow in order to avoid getting turned into the elders at this point. I am still preparing myself financially and I want my family to have a better foundation once I leave.
i was raised with this belief, that we would never die and actually make it into the "new system".
mu faithful jw aunt still talked about my mother (her sister) and her walking together into the great tribulation--- and never die at all!
she spoke of that 2 days before she passed away.. i believe most witnesses expect to die and then get resurrected.
Funny how people who truly believe in Christ are not afraid of dying. Among the old timers within the JW's have to accept the fact that religion is a snare a racket. Someday if we live long enough will see everyone die, one by one and then is our turn.
we moved house and no active jw knows we live there.
it's in another congregation territory too so when they finally come knocking, they won't know i'm a dirty apostate when i tell them to put me on the do not call list.
problem is, the local discount supermarket across the highway is frequented by jws from my previous previous congregation!.
Nice to hear Julia
Now try to forget about the crazy cult for a little bit and work on improving your life
weve all heard it.
a person starts studying with jehovahs witnesses and love what they are learning so much that they cant stop talking about it.
bubbling with enthusiasm, they spill everything they are learning with their friends and family...or anybody who will listen.
Thanks Londo for this post! That is why we need to take it slow, we cannot think our loved ones will not turn us in because they love us. We can't forget that at some point we would have done the same thing.
i am getting tired of all the so called jesus followers that simply want me dead .
w89 9/1 19 remaining organized for survival into the millennium.
"7 only jehovahs witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the supreme organizer, have any scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by satan the devil.".
Good one Frankie
