Everything About Being An Elder is Weird (my misc rambling memories of being an elder)
by AllTimeJeff infor any brother who is a jehovah's witness, the goal is put before them to reach out for the privilege of being an elder.
i can only speak for myself, but being born into the religion, i wanted to be an elder since i was 5. i would have much rather wanted to be a doctor or engineer, but those are the breaks..... i'll skip the part about what it takes to reach out, all the crap you have to put up with as a ministerial servant to get appointed, and go straight to the reality.. i know many elders who sincerely just wanted to be shepherds.
i did want the spotlight.

Meandering Thoughts of my Old Life - Regrets
by AllTimeJeff intwo threads popped up today, one on pedophiles and jw's, and another on what keeps us/me coming back here..... i gotta tell you, when i remember that i was once an elder, spouting off the company line, it makes me sick.
when i had to read the defense of jw pedophiles today, i was reminded that i too once spouted a similar line.
i personally observed other elders resign for what i knew to be real differences they had with the gb on how to handle pedophiles.

Today was day 1 of my district cultvention
by JerkhovahsWitless insome of the memorable moments today would be:.
1) the nutty mother on stage with her little boy who became an unbaptized publisher at 6. i missed his current age, but he was a tiny little kid, couldn't be much older than a couple years over 6. tomorrow he gets baptized.
2) the husband and wife couple who work part-time to pioneer, but wanted to do more so they sold their home, down-sized to one car and made other adjustments to make their lives more simple to put the kingdom first.
