  i have been thinking about this for a while, and a couple recent events here on the board have solidified my thinking.

  first, seattleniceguy's triumph with the un posting a letter regarding the wts affiliation with the un.

  it just shows that with a little combined effort we can accomplish alot.

  How big was your book bag?

  .

  all you ex-"brothers": was this just in my area (north alabama), or do any of you remember there being an unstated, but real nonetheless, pecking order amongst the brothers that correlated the size of your meeting briefcase/bookbag to your level of spirituality?.

  don't know why i was thinking about this today.... brandon

  well, my dad did his "elder" duty and called the elders in whose territory we now live.

  two of them came by to see us this past saturday morning.

  well, the shunning begins.

  we finally had "the" discussion with my parents, that we no longer consider ourselves jw's, and a little bit of why we felt that way.

  of course, "dad the elder and po" and mom the pioneer dutifully informed us that not only will they be "loyal to the organization" and shun us completely, but that he would immediately let the other elders know, so that proper judicial action could be taken.. it was a heart wrenching discussion, with all of us, including my two young boys (9 and 10) all balling our eyes out.

  Your JW / ex-JW Experiences Needed - PLEASE!

  for a new book project..... my wife and i are putting together a book project that will describe in detail the actual practical effects of wtbts beliefs and doctrines on the daily lives of average jw's.

  there are currently books out there that describe the operation of the organization at the top levels (e.g.

  crisis of conscience), books that take issue with jw doctrine and/or false predictions, and books about cults in general that mention jw's among other cultish organizations.

  my wife and i are new to this forum, and really, we're now new to life as well.

  or rather, life is new to us, normal life that is.

  i don't want to turn this into a novel (at least, not yet).
