Jevohah witness made me pregnant... should I tell his elders in the church?
So.. I am pregnant with a man who was disfellowedshipped from jw. We continued dating... And now I am pregnant. He was cheating on me and we are no longer dating. He is now trying to retun to jw religion. He has bern attending meetings... But has not told them that I am pregnant. Should I contact the elders and tell them?

There are two ways I can read this question. The first is that you feel you need to tell the elders out of revenge for him leaving you when you are pregnant and for cheating on you. If this is the reason then no good will be served by you going to the elders.
The other reason I see is that he has not taken responsibility for the pregnancy and is not supporting you and will not support the baby when it is born. If this is the reason you feel you need to go to the elders then I support your reason.
I also suggest in the strongest possible manner that you see a lawyer to have the proper legal documents drawn up to have the court order him to support the child as required by law.
By law he is financially responsible for the child until the child's 18th birthday. This includes contributing for food, shelter, schooling and medical expenses including having the child on his employers supplied health insurance.
Right now your best interest and the best interest of your baby is to first find a lawyer and have the legal paper work done. Speak to the lawyer about whether it is prudent to inform his church elders. If the lawyer feels it is then let the lawyer do so by letter to the elders.
