Five Japan Elders and three Ministerial Servants have stepped down during a meeting.
Whilst there is no further confirmation at this point, this has already happened in Germany and Italy where Elders 'resigned' in front of their congregation.
One of the elders declared: "Everything concerns me again and again, I don't know if you are aware of the fact that the holy spirit disappeared out of the baptism questions.
"I have been firmly in the truth for 50 years and it immensly concerns me, that these things have changed so much. But it is also terrific, how the problem of child abuse drifts off into the wrong direction.
"You have to keep in mind that 35 millions [euros/dollars?] have already been paid, and that the child abuse situation within the organisation has already reached governmental authorities (in short, that child abuse is being taken to courts).
Hereby, I announce... (two jws walk on stage) I hope, that you accept my prayer. I hope that you atleast accept the prayer, please. Allmighty, heavenly father, hereby I publicly announce (jw turns microphone away) my resignation (exit) from the Jehovah's Witnesses. And this I bring to you in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen"
