    Asking questions - It really does depend on the body of elders and your relationship with them to a large degree, unless you go around asking those questions of the publishers and providing them answers the GB would not approve of!

    I have asked my body of Elders dozens of questions and I continue to have long discussions with one in particular. I have given them plenty of grounds or excuses to disfellowship me for apostasy if they wanted to. But they don't. They have of course placed a gag order on me and I am only allowed to discuss these questions with them, but as long as I don't go against that they are not disfellowshipping me merely for asking the questions. And they are quite candid in admitting they have no good answers... as you can guess, they always fall back on the good old "waiting on Jehovah."

    Shame they can't "wait on Jehovah" to solve the Russian crisis for them - no, in that case they have too write letter and protest!

    Once again Richard OIiver [bok-drol] seems to have gone off on a tangent 180 deg out of phase - [The consummate Apologist]

    The man clearly stated : "The intention was NOT to try to overthrow the JC etc etc but just to place a final statement on record as a 6 decade life hooked onto this cult now terminates ! " ----- FINIS

    Just a follow-up here :

    Firstly the topic was raised by Tallon and not by me. [No ill-feelings Tallon]

    Secondly as someone has just stated, There is no intention to litigate etc unless something really crazy gave cause for that. Besides I don't have access to unlimited dedicated funds like the JDubbery.

    There was also some harassment of me taking place which the Legals have put an end to.

    Thirdly - Mr Oliver - the resident apologist and polymath here - there are other details of which you have not been apprised that exist and the Legal folk are extremely interested in this as this legal team specialises in working with people who are extricating from High-Control groups and these details appear to impinge on some very sensitive areas within my countries very liberal and advanced Constitution.

    However I personally am not wishing to do anything more except to bring down the curtain on my past life in the Dubbery! The necessity to involve the legal eagles was advice given in counselling sessions I have undertaken in order to "draw a line" between the past and the remainder of my life. I am not a junior member of society any longer - I have suffered severe depression in the last 7 years which took a major toll on our lives, Most of it related to the life as a Dub.

    I do have severe anger toward the JW movement sufficient to warrant professional intervention ! I have to work on that full-time now as we continue to rebuild our new lives.

    Should anything 'Interesting' transpire I will let the forum know . I hope not though!

    Oh...the reason my questions became a basis for a charge of Apostasy is probably because I sent these questions by e-mail to the eldubbery and so they had something in writing. They are such cowardly cowering men. But not once did they attempt to address them.

    I have been in full-fade mode for 4 years now and I have been fully and totally shunned anyway for all that time.

    There is no loss to me socially~

    Actually Brother Richard Oliver makes a very good point that the GB don't give a flying fig about it's member's questions or concerns. That would include all members current or ex, active or disfellowshipped.

    Thanks for reminding us of this fact Richard.

    Richard O is such a faithful follower of men - a real 'Star' ! Maybe he has been misunderstood by most here ?
