Interesting. Literacy classes are given. No doubt locally this is an underserved group of people. Its kind of brilliant to get people to come in and be indoctrinated.

Sparky had my thought. I feel like the alarm will sound and some will descend into Morlock caves for food. :)

I had a family member that was in charge at Bethel of sifting through mail. "Briefly summarize" content and pass to the appropriate dept I believe was the direction. Some they had permission to toss.
I agree....its mostly overlooked (unless the first paragraph sounds legit). But don't let that deter you. I feel like its cathartic, and the sheer amount of letters increasing would definitely be noticed and communicated.

James. Im i so cal too. We should hook up sometime.
Besides that, i have found (fairly recently), that real genuine love and care, with STRENGTH behind it, rarely recieves confrontation. JWs seem to reapond to it like andnormal person would. I am glad you had a moment with your childrwn, and i hope it continues. Just stick with love. This is your blood. An opportunity will arise.......it just wont happen when YOU think it should......and thats ok.
Im happy for you man.

The last video in the 2016 convention...
by problemaddict 2 in...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.
bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.
he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

"Just don't overthink the truth"
by stuckinarut2 inso after almost a year of complete inactivity and non attendance, i ran into a nice brother from the local congregation.. after some nice chit-chat, he says "we really miss you and your family...etc...you were always the kind and supportive one, the approachable and encouraging one in the congregation.
your absence has confused so many".
i thanked him and said "oh no, no individual has stumbled us.

The concept of overthinking is an interesting one. I think its just loaded language in JW world for, "dont think ypu know better than the slave".
Many people, many good people, stay JWs because they purposely decide to ignore the thibs they do not agree with, and feel its "closest", to the truth......whatever that means.

If you died faithful with a beard, you get to keep your beard. But.....if the system that was just destroyed might rhink ypur beard makes ypu a dirty hippy, you must fashion for yourself a shave club, and take the hair from your face.
Was that supposed to be Hezekiah?

Our Letter to Our Family
by What Now? inour families have cut off contact with us for the last several months.
they found out that we were celebrating holidays with our non-witness family.
our families were our last tie to the organization, as our former friends stopped associating with us about 3 years ago.

Well the music is from a secular source. See crows post.
I showed it to my wife. We have faded, but her concern is her family gets the heat turned up on them and the guilt makes them start to question their behavior. Its a legit concern. My buddy said everyone was crying. This is San Diego. Large open air convention.
