Interview with Efrain: Why I Left the Jehovah's Witness Faith

#exjw #jehovahswitnesseldersAnnouncements and RemindersJanuary 2022FOR ELDERSAssisting Young Brothers to Make Spiritual Progress: For several years, the Governing Body has emphasized the importance of assisting young brothers to qualify for congregation responsibilities. This continues to be an urgent need. It has been observed that in some congregations, few baptized brothers in their late teens and early 20s are reaching out to serve as pioneers or ministerial servants. In some lands, relatively few young brothers are applying to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers, to serve at Bethel or to assist in Kingdom Hall construction and maintenance. On the other hand, qualified younger brothers in some congregations have been held back simply because of their age. (w18.08 pp. 11-12 pars. 15-17) Therefore, the Governing Body requests that all bodies of elders worldwide give priority to helping younger brothers grow in their relationship with Jehovah and qualify for congregation responsibilities. (Phil. 2:20-22; 1 Tim. 4:12-15; w75 4/15 pp. 3-13) Elders should regularly discuss spiritual goals with younger brothers. (Ps. 110:3; w21.08 pp. 26-31; sfl chap. 1 par. 6 pt. 4; chap. 8 par. 5) Although relatively young in years, exceptional ministerial servants may already be viewed as spiritually older men and qualify as elders in their mid-, or even early, 20’s. In due course, the Shepherd book will be updated to reflect this direction.**************************************************Please consider supporting our work on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/exjwcriticalthinkerCheck out our videos on why we left the Why We Left the Jehovah's Witnesseshttps://youtu.be/rqYUCV4FHI4https://youtu.be/bLaSB9P2MEEVisit us on the Web at http://www.exjwcriticalthinker.com SUBSCRIBE to us on YouTube http://bit.ly/2p9RTSC Subscribe to Our Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ex-jehovahs-witnesses-critical-thinkers-critical-thought/id967813520Follow us on:     Twitter https://twitter.com/ExJWsThink     Instagram https://www.instagram.com/exjwcriticalthinker/     Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Ex-Jehovahs-Witnesses-Critical-Thinkers-529293183758131/ Check out our t-shirt designs: https://exjwcriticalthinker.myspreadshop.com/all How to Contact UsWe appreciate hearing from our viewers; however, we do not have enough staff or resources to communicate with everyone.

His childhood was spent thinking about Watchtower attainments: Ministerial Servant, Elder, Pioneer, Circuit Overseer, Missionary and Bethelite.

That was the start of his journey out of Watchtower.BIOS:Celine Rachel Mather is a media graduate of Goldsmiths College, University of London who has been making short films for three years, initially as a writer and now finding a love in directing and producing.
