I stopped suddenly and nothing for 2 years except for one phone call from a MS friend, then a 2 minute visit from 2 elders...I told them to leave me alone....nothing since.

I have marveled at how worried I was about being contacted ce I started fading. I received three texts only for my time. The last one was In August and I still am surprised we've been left alone.

Texts? Man I felt that I was a fairly lazy elder back in the day but that takes the cake!
Of course I can't really blame these guys. Being an unpaid cult enforcer isn't much fun.

LostGeneration - a financially stable, emotionally secure, happy single mother who activley volunteers in the community, travels often and has an intelligent teen in private high school with college plans is not considered too desirable in the org.
Someday I'll post the ignorant text I received from one elder - gave him some sass back and that was the end of it. Basically he directed me to the page In the organization book referencing who precisely to text my time to. Meanwhile, the C.O. Was scheduled for the following week so I used LOGIC and sent this COBE my time directly so he'd have it in time for the visit.
The other elder texted he was "assigned oversight of my family". He shuns his daughter so I guess he couldn't comprehend that his wording was ridiculous.
It's rather hilarious what we've all put up with to gain our freedom.

Mynameislame" Honestly, according to the Watchtower's Criteria, very few were strong Witnesses in my opinion. In the eyes of the Organization, the sister who gave oral-sex to a few householders on Return Visits had great Pioneer numbers, she counted her time in serving him and everyone who liked her in the Kingdom Hall thought she was as strong as they get! The CBOE who is my brother, he drinks heavily, weighs 300lbs (Watermeleon shaped stomach), let's his wife work 2x to 3x more than he does and he is considered Annointed Material by people who do not know he is a pathological liar and stold $15,000 from me! The pedophile we eliminated in our Kingdom Hall was going to be appointed to COBE, he was considered "Very Strong, some thought he was a Angel is disguise" That's how stupid JWs are when they assess the spiritual nature of their men wearing masks! JWs can't understand Scripture, they circumvent God's Word and say "we can observe a man's worth before God by how they act and look" What happened to Samuel picking every man except the one God chose, that's how JWs act :?
D.C.M.S., it's kinda sad how weak their faith is that a member who has not attended is given credit to spread the T-Virus on strong Witnesses, good points the Watchtower's Walls are based of Balsa Wood, one good breeze will knock their doctrines over.
"One weak JW who is fading can take out Five strong JWs, so it's best to avoid or greatly limit your contact with weak JWs?"
.
That doesn't say much about the "faith" of a JW, does it?" D.C.M.S

Dismember, they are afraid of your type, the old lazy Elders called Witnesses with zeal "Shooting Stars" claiming all that zeal would last the same duration as a shooting star. The bad vibes you felt were real, Pioneers don't rejoice when a interested person comes to the Kingdom Hall, some get jealous or judge the attendee as being weird. Your not imagining this, it's a fact they act weird around people with great motivation, it makes their lazy, "Pioneer Shuffling", like lizards on ice approach to field service look bad, you ever see a lizard slide on ice, it's really slow!
Shirley, another agency behaves like that, it's called Wall Street, look what happened to Apple after not placing enough units, same goes with the Watchtower, your not placing enough magazines, we are going to "half-your spiritual worth"!
"he upside is it was one of the proverbial last straws that helped me see this Org. for what it is: it's a religion of, "what have you done for us today?" And, guess what? It ain't ever enough, no matter how much you've done!

Add this to what a CO said in one of the last meetings I ever went to: "very few JWs will survive Armageddon". Great! God's going to destroy 99.9% of humans....then destroy 99.9% of the only ones allegedly trying their damndest to serve him too. Epic fail
I think thats classic

Why would Jehovah Save old company men who never knew how to love, they only knew how to bark up orders and place large burdens on the sheep? Have you ever seen DC Comics when Lex Luther talks to Bizarro, he says "Superman is your friend" and Bizarro attacks and trys to kill Superman. They worship a Bizzarro god, it's not the God Jesus Christ explained to us!
Do you think Anthony Morris was beaten up by Bullies in school and now get's off by attacking the low-level ant or worker-bee JWs? The COs would get off screaming at the Kingdom Halls, there was Brother Mega and Brother Schmitt-head, each were the meanest men who ever brought havoc our way. The Brothers would leave the Kindom Hall feeling like shit, the sisters would cry after these fools attacked the friends for not doing enough!

My 45 years very borg loyal JW mother once told the elders that if they spent more time shepherding and visiting the weak they would cut their judicial committees, reproofs and disfellowshippings by half.
No fences at the top of the cliff with this organisation, just guys at the bottom to clean up the mess.

Its funny how gangs of jws walk by my home when out in field service. Or they all seem to stand in one big group talking right next to my door but do not knock to say hi how are you. One day I looked out my window to see them all looking at my home just starring. They looked miserable! I am not disfell. I do not get it.
All I ever wanted was kindness, but if you do not follow the org. you get ignored. True friends they are not.
