Here I am an apostate that just found out that an elder's 18-year-old daughter is dating an unbeliever. I don't know why this is bothering me!? Is it because I want to call them and cause trouble? I think so! I don't even deal with these people anymore! Strange isn't it?

I don't know your situation but what you're saying doesn't sound strange.

It sounds like when the Principal sends you to detention for running in the hall, and then later you find out he is having an affair with the Librarian. Makes you want to egg his house.

Maybe you're really wanting to call the 18 year-old and congratulate her and encourage her to run off with the unbeliever! So long as she doesn't suck him into it....

Most kids grow up to get out of the cult.
Elders kids are just like most kids.

There's a rule that the Body of Elders must examine an elder's qualifications everytime the
elder's family at home gets involved in judicial matters.

There's also the unwritten rule that elders and servants whose kids leave Jehovah
(baptized or not) should be considered for their qualifications. In other words, a P.O. or
any elder whose kid was not raised according to the way should resign or the body should
ask him to step aside.

I found that this examination of the elder was often a token look. I found that most elders
said they raised the kid according to the way, but they flipped out. I found that a huge number
of elders would throw the kid out before losing their eldership.

I vowed that I would resign if my wife got in any trouble, not even waiting for them to say I
could stay. I don't have kids, but I would have done the same. It's just a work assignment- their
special privileges.

OTWO, I like your little flame Icon. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

I have this love hate relationship going on with the parents. They were my friends. I let them in to my little world. I still feel sympathetic towards them; and yet, it's like you said, Pickled, I want to "egg their house". I wish that I'd never found this out!

loosie

I don't think it is strange. You're just wanting to point outto the hypocrite what reality is.

MsMcDucket.....You have to let them sit out in the sun for a few days first......;-)

I was told that this young man smokes "them weeds" as my mother use to say; and that the elder's daughter curses. I was told not to bring this up (swore to secrecy so to speak). I'm going to have to do like the guy in the fairy tale and dig a hole in the ground and whisper it there and let the streams whisper it back out!

Hi MsDucket,

have this love hate relationship going on with the parents. They were my friends. I let them in to my little world. I still feel sympathetic towards them; and yet, it's like you said, Pickled, I want to "egg their house".

Have no idea how they treated you after leaving the witnesses, but if it was bad....maybe you feel like "Finally" justice has been served.

On the other hand, maybe you feel guilty for thinking that.......... just grabbing at straws here
