  They went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us. But [they went out] that it might be shown up that not all are of our sort.

  Inactivity means we are as good as dead.

  Heard that right out of the mouth of a freshly baptised JW once. No tact at all. Her "sisters" shut her down with a look. I'm sure she got a stern talking to about that one.

  I don't personally think the word 'apostate' is a right term for any who have left, for whatever reason. The real apostates are at Bethel and the various Branch Offices!

  So that is why an elder once lectured me for watching Dawn of the Dead.

  I guess that's why all the publishers are so slow in reporting their field service. Most are reporting "28 Days Later". W.Once

  I was gonna say "normal"

  Funny--I felt dead inside when I was going to the meetings!

  What if you start going again, are you resurrected?

  According to Wiki, they are now referring to you as the Anti-Christ.

  Wonder what life will be like when parents and relatives start accepting that sort of stigma about you?
