    I had a visit from the Elders a few months ago and they ask me if I was on the church registry of the new church I am attending. I told them yes as I am now a baptized member of the church. I have not heard anything else back from them at all. Will I know when they disfellowship me since I have admitted I am now a member of another church? I have not heard anything back from them at all and I want this over with.

    I congratulate you Ray for finally being free all the way from them. I hate what has happened to you because of it, but all you can do is keep praying for your family to see how wrong the JW's are. God will answer your prayer, in his time.

    @Quendi - Thanks friend- I like that idea.

    @FranklinMassey - OKAY IF YOU INSIST!

    @QC - That's the plan in some form, YES!

    @Nugget - Yeah it has been stressful there's no denying it. But moving forward is something that happens more and more as you grow up and leave the WT training wheels behind right?

    @Flipper - Dude you have a lot of love and a lot of generosity in your heart and actions; Jesus said that we would know the good ones from the bad ones by their fruits right? You are plenty fruity for us and we L I K E it hehe.

    @FlyingHighNow - Is your name a reference to the Rocky song? I love that one- I'm in training right now actually- but drinking the raw eggs seems a bit over the top lol.

    As for being there for the announcement and making a show of it klike that, IDK... I have thought of doing that- it would be great theater but how much good would it do for the sleepers in the audience? Or would it simply convince them that I am "mentally diseased"? But if I did do it, I definitely would want it filmed!

    @Mercedes_29 - Agreed.

    @Baltar447 - I will be- on both counts!

    @Wannaexit - Thanks Sis. I'm gonna go out letting my light shine and all of us will have a front seat to hear it.

    @Data-Dog - I've looked into some of those options and it's either been a question of $$, or a question of...$$$ lol... They have wristwatch cams and also ballpoint pen cams, but the image is gonna be flipped at some weird angle (which can be fixed in post of course) but I'm just not sure how much "extra" will be gained by it. I do have a couple tricks up my sleeve that may make it a little different than the "average" recorded judicial committee...we shall see how much they let me get away with...

    @Screwproof - Bro they don't need to meet with you- it's considered an automatic DA so they don't own you a JC or an appeal or anthing- they can announce that you are no longer a JW at the very next midweek meeting, which is likely what has already happened.

    @00DAD - I will keep everyone posted- this is obviously important to me of course, and I would rather be doing a hundred other things this week rather than prepping for this charade...but I know it will help a lot of dissident JWs and those of use that are out of the cult and are rooting for its decline and/or reformation, howeever unlikely that may be.

    Ray, it sounds like your living my worst nightmare! Much strength to you. In the long run, this is likely best for your children anyway.

    @Loading - Stealthmode is the only option for some...I just couldn't stomach it anymore so moved to the fade.

    @Doubting Bro - Well nearly all of us will face it sooner or later. The only thing worse for me...was NOT facing it. You have to let your light shine sooner or later for your own mental and spiritual health IMO.

    There are MANY positives in getting out of the WT cult, and for me at this point very few negatives. This may be the greatest opportunity anyone of us ever have to wake up our friends and family members.

    For that I thank God, and try to remember that Christ (and many that have suffered and told their stories on here!) have gone through far worst than me.

    I was thinking that the WTBTS kept us all facedown in a ditch with a foot in the middle of our backs. Once we heaved that foot off, we went flying high. Instead of sitting in kingdom hall seats three nights a week, I was sitting home or out somewhere else, flying high in my easy chair or out in our great, big, glorious, beautiful earth.

    Well, maybe it'd be better to stand up, raise your arms towards the sky and sing this. Spin around with an ebullient smile on your face. You know? A look of ecstasy. And then grab the hand of a planted person, and begin to move down the aisle and then she/he can grab the hand of another planted person and so on and on until you have a long line of dancing, singing freed "JW's" trailing you into the parking lot:

    Lyrics to

    I'm Free by The Who from the rock opera Tommy:

    I'm free, I'm free,
    And freedom tastes of reality,
    I'm free-I'm free,
    AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me.

    If I told you what it takes
    to reach the highest high,
    You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
    But you've been told many times before
    Messiahs pointed to the door
    And no one had the guts to leave the temple!

    I'm free-I'm free
    And freedom tastes of reality
    I'm free-I'm free
    And I'm waiting for you to follow me.

    Chorus:

    How can we follow?
    How can we follow?

    What a great idea Flying!!!

    Kind of like a FLASH DANCE! Can't you just see it!!

    You could practice some moves with a few friends and then

    all sit in the front rows ...... get someone in the back to start the music

    as soon as the announcement is over .... the every one up,

    thumbs-up ... laughing and shouting freedom! ..and dance out of that kh!!!!

    Oh Ray please please do it!!! Omg if that wouldn't break the wt spell

    nothing would!!!
