It's so surreal, isn't it?
What "danger" do you pose to them, really?
It's not like you're out there passing out apostate "propaganda" or trying to start a new religion.
How are they keeping the congregation "clean" by df'ing you?
Idiots.

Hobby Lobby (a craft store) comes out with Christmas items in July! Get shopping and have fun!
I've thought many times of doing a Christmas themed kitchen!
You are free! They do not speak for God! They have no authority over our lives at all. I know it is upsetting to go through all of this anyway. I wish you strenght and the courageous spirit you are showing you have! Don't you wish you could be a little fly on the wall when they get their letter from you! Hee hee!
Wow! Nothing they do shocks me anymore...
I'm happy you have a good attitude about it. I'll do the same if they come after me.
As I have told my sister, if they want to get rid of me they will do it themselves...I owe them nothing.
I bet you feel as if a weight had been lifted off you
TM, they probably have a troll on this website and saw your post that you'd sent a DA letter and they tried to beat you to the punch!
Now that the other shoe has dropped, so to speak, you'll start feeling better.
Re: XMas, when I first left the JWs, I actually had to have an extra circuit breaker put in to handle all of the lights I put up!

Congratulations, troubled mind!

I think a lot of faders WOULD be proactive apostates if not for family still IN.
Sometimes it seems like they're just too engrossed in their indoctrination to understand that a fader is ONLY staying in for family and that until THEY make the DF move, he/she CAN'T be an active apostate. They cut off their nose to spite their face by DFing someone who is perfectly content to be a fader.
TM....I don't think u knew it till now, but you've been free, just hadn't let urself feel it!
My parents learned the "truth" gag gag and went to the Knoxville, IL congregation.
We lived in Oneida. Don't think ur far from there!
I hope that this will all soon end and you can get some peace.
It seems like the numbers are going to start dropping worldwide if they have such a drive to ferret out everyone who is not living up to" standards"!! There are so many just attending the hall and going thru the motions, believing in Jehovah and Jesus and not in the organization -- after all, those of us who were baptized years ago got baptized in the Name of the Father, Son AND Holy Spirit -- today they have dropped theHoly Spirit for the "spirit directed organization" and many dont go along with that altho they have to play the game to hold onto their family and friends...
Well, at least you don't sound scared of it. I was terrified, and kind of curious about the committee, in that horror kind of way. I also wanted to show honor to my wife in the face of it all. But it's over now for you. Congratulations. This really is the first day of the rest of your life. More or less.
Happy Christmas Decorations to you, too!!! Glad you're going to be FREE!!! Zid
