Should I go sit at the kh next thurs when they announce my DF (page 3)

God, if I only had it in me to do something like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good idea! Stand up with fake tears and crying uncontrollably........"you bastard! You give me the freakin scabbies then you have the damn nerve to announce me disfellowshipped! You hypocritical, disease spreadin, damn loser" !!!!!!! Then run out of the hall weeping your eyes out.

Seriously....I think the idea of 5-10 people attending then clapping when the announcement is made is an awesome idea. If this practice became common....they may have to alter their course of delivery.

Since this was put up as a question, I'll offer my opinion on it. As adventurous and fun as these ideas sound.....personally I wouldn't bother. I don't mean to rain on anybodys parade, but it hurt like crazy when I learned what I had devoted so many years to doing and believing, and the sacrifices I made through my kids, hubby and family. Everyone paid the price of my stupidity.

When I wrote my DA letter, it was after much prayer and sorrow (and ANGER) and I wouldn't have given thought to attending the KH---for anything or any purpose. Still won't after 5 1/2 years.

Each of us has a path to follow that is comfortable to us, and we now have the freedom to act on it. If something like this appeals to you, then go for it! You may regret it if you don't. It's entirely up to you.

I feel that my absence there, after 30 years of being a loyal meeting-sitter, says what *I* think about the WTS and all it embraces.

Gumby,

I know...that is exactly what I think....prevent them from making it a greivously serious event...make it a coming out party....

Trouble is finding out about the annoucements before they happen...

cindy --- I liked your other outfit better *wink* LOL

Wisconsin is a bit of a jog for me, but I'll be with you in spirit.

No trouble. They always let the person know which service meeting night they plan on announcing it especially if the soon to be DFed one wishes to be there.....unless things have changed.

It's too bad they don't ask you if you have any "last words" before they give you the ax like they do before an execution eh? You could say...."yeah, I have some last words. Thank you Jehovah for delivering me from a cult that destroys good peoples lives...amen".

If you do want to make this kind of statement, go for it. A few suggestions:

If you can get one or two folks to go with you, it would have a much better affect when you all get up and leave, smiling. A showing of solidarity is far more impressive than a lone person being disfellowshipped in the back row.

If you do leave you Bible's and song books, write in big letters inside the front cover, "Property of www.silentlambs.com" or something similar. If you feel so inclined, you could sneak in with a copy of Crisis of Conscience and only have that book on your arms as you walk out.

Good luck!

What if several of us walk in, sing a bar of Alice's Restaurant, and then just walk out? They may think it's an organization. And if 50 people do it, they may think it's a movement!
