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".

Are JW's embarrassed by faith in Jesus?
by eyeslice ini think i posted the fact that i suddenly stopped attending all the meetings, field service and all, very suddenly.
not a single meeting this year.
i guess i would describe myself now as a sort of little toe guy, a liberal christian.. of course, i have had all the elder visits asking me how i am doing etc.

What if field service reporting were done anonymously?
by eyeslice ina favorite watchtower quote has to be psalms 110:3 "your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force.
" however, the way the field service reporting system works is based on hounding the brothers and sisters to fill in their report slips.
miss a month and you are bound to get a call from your book study conductor asking you why you haven't reported.

A whole month of no meetings or field service!
by eyeslice ini have really struggled over the past nearly three years with my loyaties and how i view the religion i was brought up in.
however, 2004 has seen a turn around and i have not been to a meeting nor have i been out in field service for a whole month.
it is still strange and difficult though.

Society and AIDS
by eyeslice inthe aids epidemic is proving to be one of the most difficult and dangerous issues facing mankind at the start of this the 21st century.
especially in sub-saharan africa are the difficulties and problems of aids combined with poverty most apparent.
the numbers of witnesses and indeed the growth rate of the witnesses in many of the countries most afflicted by aids appears to be good.

When did Jesus die Nisan 14/15/20 or other?
by eyeslice inoften as witnesses, we were told of people who started studying the bible (in reality wt literature) and were amazed at what they learned.
you know the sort of thing i mean i have been going to church for years and never knew that.. .
however, in my recent studies, particularly of the book of john, i have felt the same way.
