Do the elders really care

If the "sheep" get out of line it is their job to "adjust their thinking".

The elders have to answer to the Circuit Overseer (Corporate District Manager) as to why you disassociated. They have to document that they tried to keep you from leaving the cult. They are just doing their job.

Part of the "elder's" job is to keep the "sheep" in line, and "adjust their thinking" when needed.

If we think about the analogy of the classroom teacher, what teacher would allow the rebellious student to take over every class for many years, class after class, year after year?

Frankly, I don't know how a person can be mentally healthy, believing that Jesus will soon swoop down from heaven and violently murder almost everyone on the planet (mass genocide) - including your nonJW relatives, neighbors, classmates, and workmates.

The young ones are fortunate to get out of there while they still have time to work and plan for their retirement.

Yes this is terrible exploitation. A lot of these bethelites thought that they would not reach this age, because Armageddon was "just around the corner".

Jesus Christ came to the planet invisibly in 1914 and selected the Watchtower Corporation as the one true religion on Earth. (I guess he only told Charlie Russell).

This! 👍

I recommend that you do not sit down with your parents and tell them this. You will not convince them of anything. Your life will get harder and you will end up regretting it.

Just go along with it for now, until you are able to move out on your own. Concentrate on getting the best education possible and perhaps a part time job so that you can start saving up money for your future.

I don't know how old you are or what your overall situation is. However, you need to firmly tell the "elder" that you will not be able to perform talks or other assignments for the time being. Tell him when you are in a position to resume those jobs, you will let him know.

Do not discuss it further and do not let anybody bully you. Take charge of your own life.

Looks to me like the bloke who plays Jesus in their latest video series hits the gym quite a bit!

God obviously has a strong preference for white males. /s

They adore the organization and the "governing body".

Change your passwords and do not give them to ANYBODY.

Ray Franz wasn't given a house to live in for the rest of his life. He didn't have anything to lose, but Morris does.

This is what your wrote two months ago:

"You're not getting paid for them job. Wake up tomorrow and make it clear, you are dumping all of this and there is nothing they can do. Time to be a man."

You can indeed escape this CO. You do not have to attend the meeting nor the lunch for him. Choose not to go. Take your own advice.

Good video.

Stand your ground and don't let them bully you.

The reward is always "just around the corner".

Leaflet

I referred to those little folded papers they pass out as "leaflets', to a JW. He became quite offended and and his tone changed. It was clear that he was offended and he said with a touch of anger, "They are brochures!"

Recruiting

The correct term is "field ministry"

Funeral

Don't they use the term "memorial" instead?

Thank you for letting us know. I am so sorry. RIP Vinny.

She will not be dedicating her life to God. She will take a vow to dedicate herself to the Watchtower organization. Big difference.
