  Apocolypse and WannaExit,

  Beautiful plan, yours. Twenty-nine years ago I now can only wish I had thought of that strategy. Instead two of my sons and their families must shun me.

  Working from the inside takes courage and caution and it appears the both of you are teaming well toward your goal.

  I wish you the very best and that I could one day meet you both at one of our fests. My first was only months ago in Dallas and I found it very uplifting.

  However, that is selfishness on my part since your anonymity is of utmost importance. Stick to it.

  You never know. One day we will be out and will meet many of you.

  Watch out for those evil worldly ones!

  BTTT for one of the few who can easily explain that pesky asterisk in Matt 24 and the pesky footnote in Matt 24.

  Some of us you have already known since we were kids! Don't worry, we won't "blow your cover".
  
  I'll keep an eye on the paper and see what results from your letter. I don't really know anything about this tract (my elderly parents avoid any topics having to do with the JW's) but if it can be used against the WT society, then great!
  
  Keep up the good work!

  My mom is in. I am constantly re-evaluating where she is in the borg. We don't discuss it much. She is wary of me because she knows I have the goods on the org. She thinks 'most' of the teachings must be right(cause they have told her that for 60 years now), but she was very slow to be baptised and has been very sporadically active since I grew up and left the house. More so in the last 5 years since my dad died. Any further suggestions would be taken to heart. I know about how far I can go in a discussion. She has given me articles to read that are supposedly 'not' religious,like a recent article on gypsies, that obviously have a lot of JW propaganda in it. I am just waiting for the flyer or the renewed shunning due to a recent article I read. I was never baptised but I DID leave. And told them why the first time. The second time(I studied to make sure I had left for the right reasons in the first place) I just stopped going.

  Dear Apocalpse,

  I think it's wonderful that you are trying so hard to help others out!! Some here have commented that they would have stayed in longer if they thought they could have helped others. Well I had a idea for those that want to, but who have left. Why not do what Johnny Clip did, he wittnessed to those that were apparently street witnessing. The young gals that were there were very interested in him explaining the blood issue, and several other things. He ended up giving him the places to find the articles that backed up what he was telling them along with his phone number. Guess what..they did the research and actually called him up. They said they were suprised he was right. He gave them freeminds to look at, and they said they would be calling him back with more questions. Heres the actual post. Its hard to read, but is a great experience.

  So...if we are willing we could go street witnessing and look for JWs to talk to. Perhaps even have some of their own old literature to hand out!

  Sincereely,

  That's interesting. There are actually many avenues to be explored when helping JWs see the truth.

  JWs have such an aversion to the truth, unless it's watered down be watchtowerism to the point that it doesn't resmble the truth anymore.

  Like coolaid with rat poison. Watchtower would still call it "coolaid" but it's not "coolaid" anymore... is it?

  Only now after years have I made headway with my parents and now my wife's parents.

  It's not easy, but that doesn't mean you should give up trying.

  Dear Apocalypse, DANG!....WOW! So did you come out first and then go back in?...or when you were in, did you come out mentally but stayed in physically? It's amazing what you are doing and keep up the good work, but you must have some kind of iron stomach to just be in the midst of that utter depression and oppression.

  No Apologies

  Question for you apocalypse:

  But we can allow our blood to be separated and only the allowable portions utilized.

  What procedure are you referring to? And where is it deemed as acceptable(conscience matter) for JWs?
