    I think anyone who can be an elder while knowling the whole thing is a lie, to help others deserves our respect. I sure as hell wouldn't put up with all that bullsh*t, so I admire someone who can.

    I wish you the best luck!!

    Good luck! I hope you can get your family out, but in the meantime, please keep us informed about what's going on with the borg. It's my only way of knowing what's going on with my mom. Make an effort to be kind to women who are dragged into a jc resulting from domestic violence and rape. Please also go to the authorities in the case of child molestation.

    I don't think many feel the hypocracy of it is insincere, just that knowing the role you will have to be convincing in almost compells you to do things that a non JW would be hard pressed to perform and not feel he were misleading certain ones!

    I fail to see how you will manage that ideal!

    Hope you don't have to go to any elder schools but if you do bring a vomit bag with you also prepare for 3 days of total boredom.

    OOTB,

    I think this is awesome. I know if I knew you personally I would really like you..more than I do already.

    I'm behind you 110 %.

    I think everybody here (males who are not Df'd) should strive to be elders, then we could destroy this thing from the "inside".

    I LOVE IT!!!

    Good on ya.

    Don't forget who your "real" friends are.

    I can't bring myself to say "Congrats!", but I support you. Do what you feel you have to. Do what good you can. We each have our own path, don't second guess yours.

    I always say its a screwed up world. You hang out here and get appointed an elder?

    Are you a male Sybil?

    So, you're an elder. BFD. What do want? A biscuit?

    Dunno..... If I disagree with spam phone calls I don't become a telemarketer.

    I hope you have a plan better than let's see. Good luck with your exit.
