Presiding Overseer Says They Will Ask If You Still Want To Be A Jehovah's W (page 5)

wow that's interesting stuff.

part of me wishes i'd get a call or have the guts to write my DA letter... like then i'll be truly cleansed, and could quit thinking about it!

the other part of me thinks of my mom, and how she likes to self-diagnose herself with every illness she reads about. i think if i left for real she'd be a wreck.

i don't respect myself as a fader, though...

when i was really faced with being DFd i was so freakin scared. i attempted a reform post haste and begged for forgiveness! part of me was wishing they'd DF me anyway... oh well!

They Will Ask If You Still Want To Be A Jehovah's Witness.

You can tell them yes, technically even if your an atheist, because you now want to be a witness against Jehovah which means you still want to be Jehovah's witness but not in the positive way. That is if you're worried about lying to the elders who have no right to question you in the first place.

The way I look at it is they have no legitamate right to question you, so with that in mind tell them a great bullshit story and feel completely good about it and call it "theocratic warfare stratagy".

This is what can happen when a disgruntled life member gets the shaft.

Top ranking google news for JW at this very moment.

Just wondering, how do they plan on finding all of us faders anyway? And wouldn't it be a pretty large undertaking? What a project.

This question was asked of me - over 3 years ago - after I got divorced from the wifey.

I am now living in a different location - have a new phone number, etc.

They had to have gotten the number from the ex.

Anyway... one evening, whilst I was relaxing, (actually, I was probably working... at that time, I was struggling to stay afloat - work-wise) I got a phone call.

The fella on the other end of the phone identified himself as some 'elder', and then he asked the big "Do you still want to be a JW" question.

I almost entered into dialogue with this fella, then remembered their '2-witness' rule.

I asked him if someone was on the other line. He replied, "No, but Bro. so-and-so is listening in."

I told him, "Have a good day." - and hung up on them.

Haven't heard from them since.

So - be aware that if you get a phone call... there's always 'two' of 'em there.

Its hard to believe they would be so sneaky about the whole deal.

This is gonna so back fire on them it ain't funny. Just think of how many COs, elders, and others are going to start putting it all together!!!

Many will have thier eyes opened because the WT is hunting down the inactive nonmeeting attenders instead of giving them encouragement,,this has to be a major eye opener. Big trouble for the over the hill Governing Body!!!!

This is very interesting.

I know that all of us have many differing belief systems since leaving the dubs and I consider myself a Christian today who attends a church full of great people. I have even an anti witness to the membership and will continue to do so as the occasion arises.

Since I have caller ID and do not answer to any telemarketers or dubs (they don't call anyway), and there hasn't been one at my door for about a year and a half ( I don't answer the door either if I see its them), so I guess they will probably send me a letter which I will not accept or open if I see it is from them.

So then what do they do next? I do not nor will I consider myself a JW anymore. If they really want to get to me, then they will have to WORK very hard to come up with some counterespionage way of doing so. It may have to be a chance meeting at a grocery store or somewhere else.

Bottom line is.........if and when the time comes...........I will make the statement......."hey, my life is in the hands of the Allmighty, it's between me and him. I'm a slave of Jesus Christ just like John said he was in the first chapter of Revelation".

That would be the clincher since that would immediately tell the JW elder that I believe different than what the 'society' proclaims. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......I wonder if they actually consider themselves a slave of anything?

Let's see who the first one here who gets a call or visit is.

Well, you may be naive then. This actually happened to me - and I haven't been to one of their durn meetings in over... hmmm... let's see... it's been since about 1983 or so... so it was over 20 years.

I did not even know the fella whut called me, either.
