Most elders had to be a** kissers or yes men. That is exactly what the org is looking for. They are not looking for someone who is free spirited or can think for themselves. Even if it was just an act on the part of the perspective elder, there had to be at least a little bit of smooching and head bobbing.

How does an elder become an elder? This may help as well:
okay there has been lots of buzz about the feb 2017 wt where they say the governing body is not inspired nor infallible.
yet, they are still using the baptism questions.
the second one being... "do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah’s witnesses in association with god’s spirit-directedorganization?".
@ DATA-DOG:
"We don't know WTF we are doing, and we never have. CTR made a shit-load of money, and somehow we've managed to make a shit-load by getting into the Real Estate biz with the "merchants of the Earth." Heck, we just do what the Rothschilds say! After all, religion is an excellent way to control large amounts of the population!"???
At least they would be telling the truth.
so the new jw hq is to be in warwick and no longer that bleak architectural fixture on the brooklyn skyline.
actually it makes more sense after all, upstate new york is a more suitable place to have a unicorn ranch than in a city.
but it is just as easy to produce a drizzle of fairy dust out in the country as it had been in ny.
The move alone netted the org millions of dollars. I would say that it worked out well for them.
so, this will be a time of much confusion.
being a born in, and wanting to celebrate my first christmas is confusing, nerve wracking, and difficult to comprehend.
how have others dealt with there first christmas after leaving?
You can't do that! I'm telling the brothers!!!
Just kidding. I hope that you and your family enjoys the holiday.
link to the letter.. has anyone ever heard or seen this happen before?
for those of you who can't go to the site, here is the content: .

A billionaire writing a letter to a billionaire.
in my area i'd guess 30% of the men maybe more have some kind of beard.
this craps gotta wake up somebody still in!.
Didn't the "beard issue" arise from the hippie culture of the 1960's?
at mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.
two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.
but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.
Joe Buck has been trying to grow one now for 2 years.
what is the assembly hall of vídeo jehovahs witnesses organized to share the good news where a man is baptized?.
@ wifibandit:
I don't know if you were trying to be funny in your first post, but that was good!
so i live in the u.s. i had family that lived in germany when hitler came to power.
i had family that was in london during the blitz.
being raised as a witness i was obsessed with everything having to do with the rise of the nazis.
So I guess relations between Russia and France are already improving.
