The faithful and discreet slave class refers to the remnant of 144,000 "anointed " ones left her on the earth to do the spiritual feeding and guidance. It refers to the whole class....but the kicker is that really they have nothing to do with the dispensing of the food or literature....Most of the guys on the writing dept. are of the great crowd...Ha ha

Playing The Hand You Are Dealt
by jst2laws inmy wife and i were df'd about six months ago as apostates after our combined 88 years in the organization (i love borrowing wt methods of making figures impressive).
if it were not for the wt perhaps i would have gone to college as i had planned instead of to bethel for six years.
perhaps i would have started my business a decade earlier in life rather than spend ten years in the 'fulltime preaching work'.

"I would suggest you hang on to everything except those beliefs you have found to be without merit. But then, even the Bible says we should 'make sure of all things'. (See, the Watchtower isn't wrong about everything)"
Steve,
I know I am prying, but what do you personally believe regarding your mortality at this point...What do you teach your children? The more I research, the more complicated and confusing it tends to become for me....
Is it possible to just become inactive and fade out? or is that just not possible anymore......?? Sometimes, I wish I could move to another country and start over....Kinda crazy , huh?

(steps in cautiously)....I have been thinking of how to get out for soooo long now... but just not sure how to do it when you are muddled up to your neck in it...( In-laws, friends...(great friends...) children's friends( basically their only associates) family....Workmates... I am such a social person.. I honestly need friends and people...I know that sounds lame.. but that is one aspect of my life that I love...Friends & family....For me it is not leaving the doctrine... although it is so scary to give up these " HOPES" I have held on to for so many years without any certainty of what lies ahead for me or my children's future...(eternal life...somewhere?)
I have read so many posts in here, but am still at a loss for what to do when you give up that faith....I need some kind of faith & serious conviction in my life....How do you go to total nothing? Do some of you hold on to parts of your old faith? Or do you let it all go? Where and how do you restart?
I lie in bed so many nights...and think ... and think...and to live this double life....Ohhhhh! my god... how totally exhausting....going to the meetings, just to be seen....making sure to comment... Why? Of course to stay in GOOD STANDING... Ridiculous huh? But I just can't hardly stand the thought of crashing my children's lives....How did some of you get through that....
Sorry for rambling sooo.....
By the way Jst2laws....I am very intrigued by your posts and experience...
