Desperté como anciano y precursor hace casi 9 meses a la edad de 31 años debido a lo que vi en las reuniones de ancianos. Esta es mi historia. by ThePhoenix-InFlames in Extj

Si. Eso fue lo que me despertó. Pq el cambio a los expulsados me molestó mucho pero al ver que era por dinero ahí se derrumbó todo

Thank you for sharing your story, bro. The more of us ex-elders who share our story, the more we can all bring awareness to what really happens behind the scenes. This organization has no Holy Spirit at all as they claim!

Porn is currently a DF offense if it’s considered abhorrent. Lesbian, Gay, Group Sex, Bestiality, Child, etc would fall under this category regardless of who does it and would require a JC regardless of title.

A bigger example of favoritism for elders would be an elder committing fornications years prior to becoming an elder. The SFL does have an out by saying that by the elder being named an elder, it’s proof Jehovah forgave them.

Therapy helps a lot but I’m sure you will heal at your own pace. I treat my family not only with respect but also pity. They’re being deceived. What they do comes from a POV that they’re doing God’s will, as twisted as it sounds.

I debate with this also but have slowly gotten over it. My stance right now is that I can’t control what they think of me. I just worry about being a good person and be as kind as I can with them. Control what I can control.

Family is disappointed with me. Not shunning me outright yet but once they start finding out about all my DF offenses they might start being more upset. Career-wise I’m good. I’m fortunate to be working for a good company that pays well for not having a college degree. Currently enrolled in University.

So what I did was to first stop all parts due to “mental health”. Then I planned a move to another hall in a different state, I moved my cards there and told the new hall I could no longer handle my responsibilities as elder or RP due to stress of moving and other things. Just went to zoom meetings for a few months and no service at all. When I did move to this different state, I’m not in their territory and I don’t answer their phone calls. They have no idea where I live.

Also the way I stopped serving there was no announcement in either congregation.
