Dear Blondie,
You are on the top of my "must read posts". I really appreciate all your time, insightful and balanced comments.
Thanks for the suggestions on coping with meetings. I am also giving the sm and ms a skip. As you say, they're just too dreadful to even contemplate.
All the best

Thanks yesidid.
I know I enjoy posting my reviews. It helps me so much and everyone's comments are so interesting and insightful.
I'm no spring chicken and have seen a lot and done a lot. Thank god, I have learned something too along the way.
The more meetings I miss the better I feel. I have some new projects on the offing in volunteer work. Strangely enough, my training as a JW will be helpful.
I have been reading some Bible-based ex-JW material and making plans to attend a BRCI convention the end of June.

Dear Blondie: Check out the Baptism Nullification letter posted by Blackguard on the friends forum. I think you will appreciate it. Maverick
Maverick what do you mean by baptism nullification letter?
I think that the Baptism Nullification letter is letter to have one's JW baptism annulled/revoked and perhaps to have it considered invalid. But I might be wrong about that. I am starting to look into was is said in some topic threads about, such as at https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/47666/baptism-nullification-update and at https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46515/extrication-via-baptism-nullification . I notice that there is an update at https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/47981/baptism-nullification-endgame . A post in it says the following.
"Well the GoverningBodyGod has added a new twist to my BN letter. They are not contesting my stand that I was never a Baptized member. But they have decided to treat me as if I was an unbaptized publisher. This put me in the approved associate standing.
After all, I did associate and had many privileges so I can't claim otherwise. They simply announced that I was not associated with the Christian Cong. anymore."
I am not sure it would work for those who while an adult had filled out and submitted an application to be a regular pioneer and became a regular pioneer. I am also not sure it would work for those who became a ministerial servant or submitted an application to work at Bethel.
Does anyone here think it would work?
Not a chance.
They would just announce: "[So-and-so] is no longer one of JW's."
Game over.
