All this demonstrates is how lost some people can get, and then how easy it is to blame others for the way their life turned out.
None of what is stated is even close to the truth....but is a completely distorted version from a muddled mind.
It is very good to think about who we are serving....the Shepherd knows who belongs to him.....and they are not label wearers.
Explaining my past congregations and the flaws of the congregations that only have about 30 people in them.. In a few towns around here. Elders DO see themselves as councillors.. Orr "Shepards" to the overly religious folks..
They go to people's houses and discuss what is wrong with the family, sometimes to resolve problems to help you get out more converting for them. Don't forget to bring that adorable little kid to the door.. Who should be in regular school. Or private. I grew up a JW knowing nothing about science, or other religions, all I knew was the ties I had with these people. I couldn't escape.. My mom forced me to tell the elders my plans of leaving the congration and I never even got baptised!
My grandma had Cancer 5 times due to mostly the stress my grandfather put on her for being an elder.. Children in my congragion were getting MOLESTED... And the elders just asked me where it happened.. "Where did he touch you?".. In a small room in the back of the hall, ITS NONE OF THEIR BUISNESS. They don't tell police or alourities because they don't want to "inflict the name of Jehovah.." They DO act like police in most cases, hiding cases and dealing with them themselves.. On Halloween a few people from our hall used to guard outside so people didn't trash the place because once your out.. You realize how trapped and lost you really are in what you are brain washed to say is "truth"..
