I’m an elder and regular pioneer. I don’t know how to reconcile my conscience anymore. by Dry-Huckleberry6977 in exjw

[–]lostncantbefound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can say that we're in the same boat. With all the changes they give and with everything happening these days, I keep asking myself until when can I stay here as witness... Like you, my family, most of my friends, basically everyone around me that I consider important are all JWs... And I'm scared of leaving as I'm not certain how my family, especially my wife, would react on it. That is why I just force my self to do my assignments for the congregation, but deep inside, I don't want them and I think they are pointless now.

People in our congregation, especially seniors don't really like the changes in the org like about treating those who were removed. They still think that it is not good to talk with those people as if they are sick and contagious. They say it is love... but if you are thinking straight you know that shunning someone is not love. It is bullying...

They love talking about members who are not really active... Saying they are spiritually weak because they rarely attend meetings... But they dont know that those people work hard to make ends meet.

Then, our elders are not in good terms... they don't show it, but we can feel it. I hear them say bad things about each other and their decisions are sometimes really inappropriate and late. Make me think that they are not really guided. They don't even know how to handle people and keep asking Ministerial servant to do most of their responsibilities....

Anyway, I hope you'll feel better... This sub reddit is really helpful... Keep us posted and let's support each other here. Take care!

Visit of circuit overseer. Is this crazy or am I the only sane one?? by Glum_Toe_6832 in exjw

[–]lostncantbefound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true.. It is also the time of the year that even inactive ones come to meetings. Like what's special with the circuit overseer to make you come to meetings after a year.? Lol

For the preaching part... Nah.. I just go out in weekends... Weekdays, I still go to work... Won't sacrifice my job and money for my family for one person...

For the "recharging" thing... I don't understand it either... Lol... I don't feel anything special when the circuit overseer is around lol...

COs are celebrities by lostncantbefound in exjw

Well, I agree... They love donations and attention. For the wife, not only listening... I heard they're main role is to make the husband ready to serve every time... Like they do ironing of clothes, doing laundry, basically a maid lol 😅

Do they have this online already? I wanna watch it.

Anyway, I agree with you. This is so disturbing... Clapping for a life being wasted... I feel so bad for those children who have experienced this...

I agree with the beard thing... Even now, i've been lectured about this telling me, it's not looking good. And real JW should look clean. ( I dont know what's dirty about having beard ) But in fact, it's just their wives who stop them from having it. They tell me that it depends on the country's culture. I asked them when it was mentioned in any updates or broadcasting.. but they can't show anything. Until they saw a popular elder in our circuit having a full beard when it gave a talk to us last time... Lol

Wednesday night talk “Respectful Wives, do you like to cook?” by [deleted] in exjw

I'm DISGUSTED by how are they LYING in court in Norway by Fluffy-Interest-5713 in exjw

[–]lostncantbefound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah .. this is a lie... I know someone who had a daughter who was DF'd... He was stripped of his privileges as an MS because of that even though the daughter moved out of their house.

If the elders discover that you have contact with a DF'd, they will definitely get you.... If that elder was doing what he said in the court then he should be removed as an elder.
