Elders stepping down - what got your goat?
by eyeslice inmany here formerly served as elders.
what trivia/humiliation got your goat about how you were treated as an ex-elder?.
the obvious is the cermonial handing in of the elder's book - "you have been stripped of your rank and are no longer worthy of such a fine book".

The rules, the lack of love and more of the same from the old goats of the Bethel CIA (AKA Service Dept) got my goat. Now they can keep it.
Still have my Flock book, but someday I might tell 'em to get the Flock out of here!

Do You Believe Most JWs Follow Their Own Rules About Sex?
by minimus inor do you think they try to follow the rules?

Perhaps there was a local need to see a prostitute and they were looking for suggestions.
Despite JW rules to the contrary, I have never revealed confidences of patients with respect to sexual matters. So no elder would ever have heard what I have, nor will they. Even when I was an elder I did not allow the "elder in the bedroom mentality" to infect my thinking.
Believe it, dubs are just as horney as everyone else. And they do things just like everyone else. There are some stand in the shower to have sex types, but by and large the sexual habits of dubs run the full gamut.

Thanks to the former two posters. Jobs / money do not equate with the quality of the person. Some are wealthy, some are poor. Some are gifted mentally, some are mentally challenged. Our family has a long history in the medical field, yet not everyone can be a physician, surgeon, nurse, etc. That is not what tests the quality of the individual. Some of the kindest, wisest dubs I know have little and yes some dubs have fallen victim to the WT?s denigration of education. This is sad.
We?re glad we didn?t listen to that drivel in the past and we raised our family to be educated to the highest degree that they personally chose for themselves. They needed no imprimatur from the Watchtower for the direction they chose. Of course we did our own bit to channel their thinking.
That being said, yes too many dubs have jobs that do not really allow for a modest lifestyle with reasonable plans for retirement. This too is sad.
