How to become a jw elder Videos

Steve, don't get sucked in by smooth talkers, there is no where else to go!

I wish to make a important point and it is this, I will NOT leave the Org because I still believe it is the right religion but I will NOT leave the organisation because I believe that the organisation is only a microcosm of he greater public. There are liars, thieves etc in every organisation and I believe this organisation is the only one attempting to be christian. I was shocked however to hear from Br Jackson that he could not provide a scripture that forbids women from being Judges. Yet since the organisatiuon claims to follow the bible there is a scripture that allows women to be Judges . that scripture is Judges 4:4.

In our congregation, I don't know what it was like in others, but they had everybody say how much they were going to donate that month. Our family is fucking poor. Mom said we would give $50 every month. We can't afford that. And if something happens and she's already donated we don't have that. And they expect that every month. That's no better than passing a collection plate in my mind.

Hi, I have just started watching you videos. I also has an experience with stalking from the elders similar to Ricky G. when I was underage and how they mishandled a sexual harassment accusation I bought up again another brother. I was told that it was somewhat MY FAULT for being alone with these brother and for NOT SCREAMING out when it happened. Also, that there was nothing I could do about it because there were not enough witnesses to prove it happened, so to just leave it be. The brother just got talked to. I left a few years later when I became an adult because something just felt wrong about this religion.

Hello everyone did you know that the NWT bible the small gray one has 36 scriptures removed from it Matt 17:21,18:11,23:14 Luke 1:28, 17:36 John 5:4, Acts 8:37 Acts 15:34 etc. as you stated in the interview they dont even open a bible in the meetings, so how can you teach or reference a scripture for knowledge and wisdom when its not there and in revelations it states who so ever remove scrolls from this book shall also be removed are an abomination so if nobody brings this up ot points this out how do you know what you are being taught is the truth. Im not here to debate or pick or antagonize anyone I'm currently dating a jw im actively trying to show the real truth and its very difficult, if she has no gas in her car she'll walk 3 miles to attend a meeting which is ultimately unrealistic to me. I love her but I am not joining them to get married which is something extremely pushed. Our relationship is actually a secret which I dont like because who cares what a bunch of normal people think about who your marrying they cant even be truthful in the truth. Like I said I'm worried for her I know what the bible means and teaches she just remembers more scriptures but that means nothing without understanding. Now you guys go look those scriptures up and look at the replaced hash mark. I asked hey there's a scripture missing she said ask them why they took it out I said but you are 1 of them so why don't you ask? Well still haven't got an answer but I have her thinking its a start. Well im not here to bash anyone just pointing out the truth and truth only well im at [email protected] for anyone who has advice for my sticky situation, do I stay cuz I love her or do I leave cuz she's living a lie in the truth again im not a jw im an israelite. Thanks

ALSO THERE IS A SCRIPTURE ON TREATING DF'D PEOPLE AND PART OF IT SAYS KEEP ON "ADMONISHING THESE BROTHERS" - WELL HOW CAN BROTHERS IN GOOD STANDING ADMONISH THE DF'D ONES IF THEY ARE TOLD TO SHUN THEM.

JW do not get involved in politics because of they have too much politicking themselves. When I was 24 I was named an Elder. OMG the Elders do not use the bible. I remember the look I got when I quoted Scripture. This video gave me flashbacks

Isn't it interesting that men seem to think that they have the right to say that someone is no longer a Jehovah's Witness ? I have been before I became a JW, the only thing this organisation did for me in that course was to inform me of His name. The Bible has done the rest .

I mostly feel for anyone who is disfellowshipped because i went through it Twice. but i honestly dont see what this elder did in this instance that was so wrong. the girl was mostly hysterical and he was mostly just listening her. i kept WAITING for the part where this elder said or did something that was so wrong and then SUDDENLY the tape ends without there being even a whisper of him being cruel or insensitive as this taped recording had led me to believe ! i mean did the girl actually believe that she was going to get reinstated because she was crying or telling the elder that she was suicidal. the worst part was she VERY transparently USING her son in a ploy to attempt to gain additional sympathy which i thought was childish at best. this what i call girl was EXTREMELY manipulative and controlling of the conversation and seemed hell bent on instilling the elder with a GUILT TRIP at EVERY opportunity ! this has been a REAL eye opener for me. if u apostates are all like this which i now HIGHLY Suspect then NO WONDER most of u were disfellowshipped to begin with !

From what I've noticed from being in the Congregation for 19 years (Soon to get out of it, when I move out of the house), is that when it comes to mental illnesses, Jehovah's witnesses don't know what to do. You're instructed to pray and Jehovah will pull you out of it but when I went through a sever depression when I was sixteen praying didn't do shit. Going to the meetings just made me feel worse. I was suicidal because I thought fuck it. I'm not going to be in paradise anyway, I can't live up to these standards. That was also about the time I finally realized I was bi. And no matter what your personal thoughts are on that, it just added to my depression, given how badly witnesses are attacking the LGBT+ community recently. I went to a therapist and that helped me far more than prayer and the bible did. Sometimes your mind gets sick and sometimes you need actual medicine and someone to talk to about your issues rather than a 2,000 year old book and praying to someone that may or may not exist.

What a satanic cult the watchtower cult is. Slaves, judges, and judicial matters? What a joke. Who do these bastards think they are? What a sick f**k Dan is. I wish I could have 5 minutes with this asshole.

Kari, sweetheart! You are waaaaay more intelligent and loving than Dan. They know it. Dan knows it. He will not let you back in, and if Dan is the kind of person you say he is, it is a matter of time before HE himself, exits that cult. These Elders want to take you in the back room, WITHOUT your mother present, and emotionally slap you around, bruise you, and gang rape you over the cult. There is NO SCRIPTURAL reason as to why you could not have your mother present. It is three WITNESSES against one (YOU) for God sake, there is no written transcript of the proceedings, your jury is not a group of your peers that you are allowed to dismiss if you think they are prejudice like their is in a REAL court of law. This is "Kangaroo Court" that is why people are taking tape recorders. In a real court of law, you have an ENTIRE TRANSCRIPT OF THE PROCEEDINGS AND A JUDGEMENT IN WRITING FROM THE JUDGE!!! Your son, Gage, has the real concept in his mind of what God and Jesus is. But, it is not Dan and these groups of Elders. Teach him from the Bible, and he will still be a loving boy, but get away from the "Company Man" Dan, and the other narcissists and get into a support group, as fast as you can. Dan is craaaaaaaaaazy if he thinks a therapist will convince you that the WTBTS has the "TRUTH" and will tell you to go back to the Kingdom Hall. AND HE NEVER CALLED NEW YORK ON YOUR BEHALF. Dan has become such a "Company Man," he will lie, he has become the narcissist that he will get others to lie against you, and guess what sweetheart. If you do commit suicide, he won't give a rat's ass. He will say you are "mentally diseased" anyway, and you have hate in your heart, you left Jehovah's loving organization. Please oh please, Kari, you and your mom stay with us online. Pleeeeeeze don't commit suicide. So many have experienced what you are going through. You are far too intelligent. The world loves and needs you to help others.

Dan Needs a beat down

Yes ... the Elders are following the direction of the man-made organization. But that direction does NOT have any scriptural backing!! In fact the scriptural precedence is exactly the opposite. (See Deuteronomy 17:2-7 – Notice there is no indication that the older men judged this man in private, keeping the names of the witnesses secret for the sake of confidentiality, then brought him to the people so they could stone him on the word of the older men alone.) (See also Deuteronomy 21:18-21 - It is clear that when dealing with issues involving the death penalty under Israelite law the case was heard publicly at the city gates.) ------------------------------------------ The following is a quote from a 1981 Awake magazine: “Speedy and Public Trial” Guidelines for judicial procedure in the United States are found in the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution. “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial . . . to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him.” Did justice in Bible times employ these guidelines? Indeed it did. Criminal trials were doubtless much speedier in Israel than they are at present in countries such as the United States, where clogged courts and elaborate procedure give rise to many delays. Since the local court was situated at the city gates, there was no question about the trial being public! (Deut. 16:18-20) No doubt the public trials helped influence the judges toward carefulness and justice, qualities that sometimes vanish in secret star-chamber hearings. What about witnesses? Witnesses in Bible times were required to testify publicly. For this reason they were warned not to be influenced in their testimony by the pressure of public opinion “so as to turn aside with the crowd in order to pervert justice.” Perjury was not punished with a jail term, but with whatever punishment the false witness had sought to bring upon the defendant—even death!—Ex. 23:2; Deut. 19:15-21.” – (Awake! 1981, 1/22, Pg. 17, Searching Out Legal Roots) -------------------------------------------------- Although, when convenient, the Watchtower organization frequently goes back to Mosaic law and law procedures for support for its policies, but it should be noted that it acts exactly contrary to the principles presented in this Awake article when it comes to their “judicial committee” arrangement. Though it praises the influence toward "carefulness and justice" that public hearings produce, the reality is that all Jehovah’s Witness "judicial committee" hearings are, by organizational policy, held precisely in the form of "secret star-chamber hearings," with the result that the committee is, in effect, answerable only to itself.

My reading of the Bible says that I should reason and use my mind. These people are brainwashed.

I don't know how I've gotten on these videos about JWs, but I am curious as to what they believe. There are quite a few in the town where I live, and my kids have many JW friends. I appreciate your humility and wisdom in going to the word of God to take a stance. Satan is very crafty is taking the truth, and twisting it ever so slightly. It then becomes deception, and a trap, causing people that escape this trap to then fear any belief in God at all. I pray that your involvement in this organization has not turned you away from Jehovah, the one true God. He loves you, and always will.

It's fine for this gentleman to form his own beliefs and interpretation of scripture, and to cease witnessing according to his conscience.. but in that case he can no longer call himself a Jehovah's Witness.

What wrong with there elder book? And read the entire bible then u can speculate about the witnesses, whether they are people of God or not. Dont judge, also i saw the comments talk about blood. Blood is sacred to God if we cant eat animals blood like it says in the law also tht the blood is for Jehovah God, what makes you think God will like us to interchange blood. Also blood transfusions if a man and fleshy procedure to keep man alive its disgusting, God gives life and God takes life why do u fight him by tryin to argue blood to save urself, only God can save you. This youtube channel isnt only to slander the Jehovahs witness but its to be a mouth piece for satan. Read the bible hypocrites put ur wicked tongues in ur mouth and do Gods will talk about Jesus wat good are you doin talkin bad about a Christian religion? All Christian denominations have faults dont slander and disrespect the Jehovahs witness they preach the good news and teach about Christ Jesus all your other meaninglessness accusations and pointin fingers do nothing, let God act close ur mouth if the witnesses do baf or any othe religion tht believes in Christ God will take care of it they are his people they believe in Christ.
