Having doubts is not a DF offence. Publicly talking about those doubts or suggesting alternative views openly can easily lead to being DF'ed.
Elders might seem like they want to understand you but you cannot trust anyone when they are acting in an "official" capacity. They can take your words and twist them very easily if they choose to do so.
So, it's probably OK to say "I just find it very difficult to get my head around things like the way the understanding of generations has changed".
But then to add "So I really find it difficult to trust that F&DS really know what they are talking about" can set the alarm bells going.
The obvious and less confrontational tack from the elders is "but you are sure Jehovah exists, you are sure his Kingdom is coming, aren't you? We just need faith in that and the rest does not matter." If you then start questioning that then again, the alarm bells start ringing.
Asking questions about the difference between "where" and "whom", birthdays, mediation etc. are all fine in principle and might be possible with a trusted friend but could very easily be a one way street to a JC if you confront a CO or arsey elder. Don't forget, they only have to form one and invite you. Who cares if you turn up or not. You're toast.
There is a reason why so many simply say "I'm depressed".

Make A Wish Trip to JW.ORG
by konceptual99 ina sick little girl goes to ny to meet caleb and sophia for her make a wish trip.. http://www.kmph.com/category/170789/video-landing-page?clipid=11142038&autostart=true.
i don't want to make too much comment as there is an innocent and poorly young girl at the heart of this but i do have to wonder what the purpose of the parents courting the media's attention over this really was..

Hi, new to this forum. Figured I'd let everyone know about my story before I got involved.
by JonathanH inif you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.
we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.
maybe this was how jehovah came about?

Neanderthal man
by scary21 inmy ex husband and father of my daughter was never baptized but is still a believer in the wt.. a couple years ago we were talking about evolution ( which he does not believe in ) i brought up the subject of the neanderthals and how we all have their dna except africans ( the ones that never left africa ).
he said neanderthals are apes and not humans and jw's do not teach that they are humans.
i said i believe they do.. in the life- how did it get here book, under the sub heading " the human family "is says " neanderthal man....... was undoubtedly human.. his response was " they are just talking about what other people believe " ahhhhh .

The most telling part of that video is that no one appears to take any notice of the trolley in the whole 15 mins. That's 3 people with 45 man minutes of preaching with zero impact. I am not expecting a major increase in Bristol on the back of this evidence. -

Does everyone here know they are on record with JW's forever?
by runForever inrichard ashe a full-time special servant of the order of jehovah's witnesses testified in the lopez case that every single disfellowshipping and disassociation and other things have all been scanned in 2011 and are and will be on permanent record with jw's forever.
is this legal?
another completely ironic and warped thing is the disfellowshipping form is called the s77 form.

Don't worry about it. The database is far too complicated to be able to sort out a list of pedos (according the the WT testimony). I am sure the info on faders, DF/DA etc. must be even harder to find. -

Thanks for apology DJS. I get the raw nerve thing. The ridiculous nature of the Morris' wise words are enough to get anyone's heckles up. Cheers my man! -

er... DJS. Have you ever stopped to (a) read anything I've ever posted and (b) taken some kind of irony inhibiter?
if you had done (a) you might have realised that I am not prone to posting content supporting whatever soapbox Tony Morris or any other GB member is currently on. Either way, contemplating it for just a few minutes without the influence of (b) might have alerted your irony spidey sense and prevented you from your noisy rant.
I do normally like your posts but your initial response was not only unjustifiably personal but also as judgemental as the tirades usually associated with Morris and his ilk.
Take a chill pill fella.
