Great letter and straight to the point!
But don't lose faith in God. He will be by your side to the end and forever
this is my first time posting here, although i have been a visitor to it for around a year.
after doing a simple google search under "jehovah'switnesses" over a year ago, i found ttat.
i was deeply unhappy with the congregation and decided to educate myself, and boy what an education i have gotten so far.

some may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.
how many of you exjws or active jws did or do the e ercises at the end of each quality in the school guidebook when given an assignment?
.
i have never done any and the overseer never seems to bother to ask.

Yes. And they'll explain it by saying the end is around the corner and spiritual food is becoming scarce for the evil nations
how can it be said that gods visible organizationwas made strictly theocratic or was fully theocratic in structure by 1938, when there are revisions and changes from time to time in organization instructions?.
.. first of all, we must recognize what is meant when we say gods visible organization was made strictly or fully theocratic.
the term theocracy means god rule or rule by god.
this famous line from proverbs 27:23 (in the old nwt) is used for elders and the organization to justify field service reports.
but, what is this verse talking about?
is it about overseers in the congregation?
There's an elder in my Cong who calls every sister 'sister' and every brother 'brother' when conducting a study. So much for 'knowing your flock'
go ahead.
tell me.. "i've read the bible cover to cover.
i don't believe you.. it is damned near impossible!.
LOL I love the comments. Some frank, some funny , most of them truthful (which JWs don't have). I haven't read the bible cover to cover. I started Genesis once and it was just too boring. I like the new testament more. It's more practical. Proverbs and psalms are practical too. Most people I know who read from cover to cover do it just for the sake of saying with confidence they have read it entirely . reading it entirely does not change you in any way. Applying it will. For those who think the bible is just a story book, well that's your decision. But recently seeing TTATT, I think the bible is one of my proofs that God exists. The WT just uses the bible to support itself and makes people think the bible was written only for them.

I don't think they'll ever stop the shunning policy. If they do people would leave the org in drones.
The same with the blood issue. If they stop it, people would wake up in an instant . oh what a cult!
meeting with my congregation elders today.. going to tell them about the things i discovered about c.t russell.
(astrology, racism, ect.
) i don't know how to present this information or what to say.
Hugs to you LennaB. As one commenter said, don't make hasty decisions at this point. Relax and think freely about your past , present and future and decide, based on what you have learnt the choice you want to make. But don't let it put too much stress on you.
The GB is always making people feel guilty for not doing everything they say.
