Elder's comment
by CaptK inthis is unbelievable.
i was at the watchtower meeting last sunday and one elder gave an answer that jw 's do not have the problems like the cathlic church where the preist are molesting boys or the church has to pay huge sums of money out to abused cases.
is he not aware what is happening within the jw organization ?

Re-instatement - How long ex - elders?
by CaptK ini am a white male and was d'fed in late 2000. i started attending the sunday talk and wt for the last two years.
my old congregation was merged into a new congregation following the years that i was gone (downsizing yes) with now all the elders are another race than myself.
i wrote a re-instatement letter in mid dec...which the elders never answered till mid jan... for a committee hearing.

Counsel - How many times
by CaptK inwhen you was a jw how many times did you recieve counsel or critisim from the elders.
i can't think of how many times when i gave talks ( 5 min) #4 that i would get counsel.
or going in service you should of said this or use this scripture.

Counting Time..what your opinion?
by CaptK inwhen i was a dub i use to get so mad trying to get in the national average of 10 hours a month.
i would work during the week then get 2 - 2.5 hours on sat for maybe 8 - 10 hours a month.
others like the elders would always be above that average and a lot of the time some of these elders would skip out on vacation or who knows what on half of the saturdays.

Invatation Snubs - Anybody?
by CaptK inmy mother who has been a jw for over 50 yrs, was sent an invatation to an elder's son high school graduation party.
however it was addressed to just her alone not including her husband who is not a witness but a nice guy just no jw.
the elder's son has yet to speak to my mother at the meetings even a hello or a casual conversation.
