i have attended only one meeting in the past 3 weeks.
i know there is no way to leave this cult fast enough, but is my fade too fast?
If you are already inactive and sporadic in meeting attendance (IOW, they already view you as "weak") it could take a while for any of them to figure out you have gone AWOL.
Only time will tell if the fade was "too fast" in the sense of spooking the elders into harrassing you. Just have an excuse ready for when or if anyone enquires after you.
I wouldn't worry though, most JWs are put off quite easily.
what if no one on the governing body is truly anointed?
what if they just proclaim they are anointed and partake in order to gain authority, but they are not anointed?
what will happen to them when they die?
Are any of the "annointed" annointed?
Just as relevant - Can Superman really jump tall buildings in a single bound?
this is a counsel point in the tms guidebook.
the guy who did the reading last night was supposed to be working on that while he read the account about how jehovah fought the unfaithful isrealites for judah.
jehovah killed 500,000 people that day.
That "warmth and feeling" is what Jehovah's victims get to feel in the form of wetting themselves just before they get murdered by one of his agents - human or angel.
I honestly don't know how I could sit through a meeting now without getting up and screaming
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!
Some elders taught to punish ?
Every witness is taught to punish. It's called theocratic order.
The GB punishes the elders, the elders punish the publishers, the publishers punish each other, and whoever is the lowest in the pecking order kicks the dog.

are they just moving the goal posts now that 2016 is almost upon us?.
we let the qualified buyers participate in a competitive bidding process and see where the market goes with it, devine told the eagle.. doesn't this logic reflect the same expectation of gambling or buying a lottery ticket?
you don't know if you are going to win big or if you're just going to come out even or lose your $1 investment.. how do they know there's not going to be another market or housing crash the next day and get pennies for their properties?.
how can they honestly say: "...see where the market goes with it" and at the same time condone other for playing lottery tickets or gambling or leaving things to chance like not getting higher education.
Gambling ? No, I don't think so anyone selling a property wants to achieve the best price.
Will they have an assembly talk or article telling the sheeple what money they are making on the sale of properties?
I doubt it. So, in my opnion, it smacks more of greedy, dishonest bastardry, to be asking for ice cream money at the same time as multi million dollar property sales are going down.
But, who really is "they" and what do "they" need all this money for exactly?
Is all the money going into a giant fund labeled WWW? I don't think so!
but still, they ask for more at every opportunity.
send in that ice cream money kids!.

Whatever they "need" all the money, money, money for probably hasn't happened yet.
They need a few "just in case" billions to tide them over the great tribulation of a season of one-ply toilet paper and minute noodles for dinner.
