I have a question. You asked if you could record the proceedings. How does anyone know if one of them didn't record the proceedings or have it recorded?
Just a thought.
sorry how long this is but i found the meeting very exciting.
the short version is i said directly that i do not believe in the wts, feel being d/f is unfair on my jw family so asked them to just leave me alone.
it didn't work.

according to our new co, elders nor their children are allowed to go to college.
my dad is being deleted.
evidently new material was presented at the elder school.
CollegeGurl,
Why not have your dad email the Society to get it first hand, If that is the case, the future lawyers going to college on the Society's dime should also quit.

Runningman, I also graduated from a 4 year university and have conitinued taking classes. I must have been very fortunate to have the parents/presiding overseer dad that I had as it was never a problem.
I hope it really works out for you if that is what you want.

What area of the USA do you go to school? I find it very hard to believe as I have many relatives and friends in college who are still afflilitaed who have said nothing about it.
If you want it bad enough, and you are an adult, stick with it. Sounds like a lot of personal agendas going on too.
Hope things work out for you!
seems like every day i have less and less jw friends... but every so often i'll receive an email or msn message from one saying something witnessy, only to not be able to reply to it because that person has blocked my messages.
anyone else notice this trend?
it seems to me that fearful or insecure people do stuff like that... they have plenty so say, but with no ears to hear anything back.... bethel
Why not create another free email account such as a hotmail account? Email them with your thoughts and then block them from it.. What's good for the goose.........
.
would anyone have an educated guess re any liability of hlc members who promoted and quoted from the "blood" booklet in question.. .

consider me a player.
i am interested in supporting the "big news" news blitz by coordinating a clearing house of jw email addresses.
most of us have a handful of jw email contacts, others may have whole address books filled of them.
So, if you were an active Witness, I guess you could call it a Publishers Clearning house?
i just returned home from the kingdom hall.
i am an elder.. after the meeting all the elders were called to the back room.
i thought this was an impromptu elders' meeting.
I forgot how much guilt and control played into it. That leaning into it reminds me of alpha male dogs. Next time the do it, take a rolled up newspaper and whack them across the nose.
If/when you do meet with them, have your resignation in writing. I'd also give them, in writing, until Jan.1 to find another site for the book study. That may be one reason they don't want you to quit. Do the clean sweep.
Enjoy your kids!

Sorry that happened to you. Having little kids sit still for that long for any reason is an ordeal. But to be blind sided is not right.
My father was an elder. Being an elder's kid stinks. Now as an adult, I would suggest that you spend that time with your family, resign the position and enjoy the kids while you can. If you have a book study in your house, have it moved too. That is murder on a wife too. Enjoy your family while they are young because they aren't young forever.
just checking up on richie, seeing if anything has happened.
been away from the board for a while.
It has also been a while since the new college student Tsnuami has been around.
