    I'm pretty sure that if there was a chimp who could go to a door and hand out magazines and go do this for at least 10 hours a month, he would be made a MS in no time.

    On Saturdays, Elders could take a MS chimp in a suit to a street corner and have him on a lease handing out WT's. If he held a cup in one hand I'm sure people would donate to the WWW. If MS chimps carried mikes.........I would go to the Sunday meeting, just to watch them during the WT study. Maybe they could adjust the mike stand for the speaker also.

    Yes they do, but instead of saying removed, they say that so & so has been Deleted - to witch everyone is shocked and thinks that i either killed some one , watched porn while i should be out in the field, or smoked... so yea, thats a thing - just wished they could have said im deleted becuase i ask to many questions and because i need to do more fieldservice

    That's why I told enough people well beforehand so that when the announcement was made, everyone already knew... that the elders were jerks.

    Set free from climbing the ruling religious clergy class hierarchy ladder? A God sent gift! You are not of their sort at heart. What about thanking God, and using your freedom wisely? If possible please read about "legalism" and its exact opposite in the Watchtower library asap.

    Sounds like another angry apostate is soon to be born! Mwoo hoo ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa .

    Seriously, though, your mind is coming up with these questions because you can sense something is wrong. "If you have proof, then you have to pursue it!" You're upset about this situation, and it's activating the doubts that were clearly already present. This is a dangerous time for you. Especially if you like a girl. Tell ya what, why don't you read my story, and see how well it could turn out if you go down that road...

    You're here and you've read these comments without totally bolting for the metaphorical door, so that must mean your mind is ready. But it's Pandora's Box, bro. There's no turning back. If you're ready, it's time to ask the mother of all questions:

    Do Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion? Is it possible that they do not?

    When I got frustrated with things, one thought popped into my head. I'd noticed the Society was always warning us to avoid talking to apostates. Everything they were warning about just smacked of fear, to me. What were they so afraid if these apostates were a bunch of raving lunatics and liars? It occurred to me that I was looking for answers that the elders couldn't give me--and believe me, I did try seeking their guidance, only to find them parroting the literature at best.

    Just don't...do anything crazy. Don't open that box unless you're far enough away from anyone and anything that can entangle you with this organization. Especially that one sister in the congregation you have a thing for.

    Or, on the other hand, the Watchtower might say something like, "humility and loyal obedience will help you to cherish your place in Jehovah's organization. Have you lost privileges in the congregation? Do not despair. Hard work, in harmony with fervent prayer to Jehovah, will help you to restore your spiritual strength and press on to maturity once more. Rest assured that he will not forget the hard work you have done in behalf of his name."

    Your call...

    " Sooooo the past 3 months i didnt do allot of hours of fieldservice, like to be exact, i only did like 1 to 2 hours of it.

    So i got called in "

    I don't go to field service at all and report 6 hours each month. Don't want to be bugged... Result: still a Ministerial Servant.

    I'm not being smart, I guess....

    Congrats, I'd like to have NO provileges.

    But I guess it's harder to get privileges removed than gained. LOL.

    ..... Guys i havent done any fieldservice yet this month... I Dont believe in the WTS any more, hell, i dont even believe in a god any more...

    (yea, that happened since i last came on here, can you believe it....)

    Dont know what the hell to do now. Guess im just riding out this feelings to see what happens. Still going to meetings, even though i didnt go today, why? because i slept!!

    When i go to the meetings i dont hear anything, im just in my own little world. and Every one IRRITATES me talking about how they sell their stuff to do more in the ministry, and in my head im just going " you idiot!!!!"

    ahh, dont know whats gona happen next.... This sucks by the way...

    Just remember, your value as a person is not determined by those men. Even if you still believed in God and the bible, jw standards are not Christian, they make their own rules and write their own bible by doing so. Do you have friends outside the KH, people at work, school, neighbors, non-jw relatives...get closer to them. Try to be financially independent of any jws or your living situation.

    Good luck

    You have just been given an out to fade. Use it wisely. Use the excuse that the way they handled the situation cause you to lose faith in the organization and you are discouraged, if officially asked where you've been. Trust me, having privileges ripped from you because of some BS excuse is perfect to play the fade game with. It's worked for me and I've been "fading" for a couple years now. I have been officially inactive for 1 1/2 years. I still can associate with my family still in.

    That's god's honest best advice from 'Soldier' The gift that will keep on giving........you a chance to have a meaningful life.
