  Yes I certainly don’t believe his reasons were for age and health. There seems to be this ongoing consensus about the North Carolina / New York areas for his location. Amongst various posters on the internet.

  For his safety I think it would be wise for his location to not be revealed. He’s certainly upset a lot of people, with the decisions he’s made. That would certainly have a score to settle. If I was him, security would certainly be high on my list of priorities.

  He’s just too big of a fish to just sweep under the carpet. I think, some type of remuneration, was both the proper and wise thing to do. A rent free condo, a small allowance, and free health care, would be a fraction of the cost if he wrote a tell a book. If he’s happy then he’s quiet. I’m sure Wt is playing its cards carefully in how they handle him.

  ever since the annual meeting last october and the letter to bodies of elders stating that "exceptional young men perhaps in their early 20's could qualify for appointment as elders.." it even states this in the updated elders manual!

  have any of you pimo's, pimq's, or those on here with family/friends still in hear of any young men being appointed as elders yet?

  i am talking 21, 22, 23, 24 etc.

  I personally witnessed a talk, given by a MS, early 20s, not married, about marriage and child rearing.

  Another example of an early teens male, giving a No4 talk on masturbation. I remember sitting there just thinking, WTF where the brothers thinking when the assigned these talks.

  The young elder topic made me think of this

  it somehow never set well with me that if a boy got baptized that his mother couldn't pray or hold a study with him or in his presence without a headcovering.

  maybe some of you were baptized as a boy in the home...how did that make you feel?

  ( like knowing you had rank over your mom???

  I feel the same attending the Catholic Church. Calling a priest ,who is a lot younger than me, Father. I guess it’s a sign of respect

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses view faithfulness to Jehovah as being equivalent to faithfulness to the Governing Body?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  i thought this was an interesting response to the question.

  "being faithful and loyal to god implies or includes.

  being faithful to your spouse (hebrews 13:4),.

  Yes I often get the same sentiments from my father “ how I’ve left Jehovah.” Try as hard as i can I can’t get him to see that I haven’t left Jehovah at all, but have left a publishing company. I digress.

  My father does this. It keeps him occupied. He often comments to me about the hours he spends pioneering. I’m happy for him.

  Predict JW life in future

  a sister said the other day at the ministry group “”what is all this talk that the end is still some way off” she said she has been waiting for decades and she was told there is no way it would take this long.

  some others said in an annoyed kind of way yes they would have made different decisions decades ago if they knew the end still would not have come by 2023.. how will the majority react in a few more decades time when the end still hasn’t come?.

  why all that talk of sense of urgency decades ago?.

  disfellowshipped for having a personal opinion based on WT

  by Leslie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in 2008 i was baptized into the truth after leaving a trinitarian faith.

  during my eight years as a jehovah’s witness, i strived to keep the standards set by the bible, wt and the faithfull and discrete slave.

  but unfortunately, the congregational elders from the kingdom hall i attended were not keeping to jehovah’s standards, hence, wrote my letter of resignation.

  In my experience as a successful fader, when dealing with JWs, is the less said the better off you’ll be.
