first of all; i must admit that i'm not a huge fan of putting people in boxes like this, it is not an exact science.
but i still think the data can be quite interesting and i intend to collect it and share it in a structured way with you guys.
so without future ado here are the details.. link to test: .
I personally trust this version more:

It would be interesting if anyone else tries & compared
Still ISFJ, but more strongly weighted toward Observant and Feeling than Judging which seems more accurate to me.

i have noticed that many lately have left the org or are in the process of leaving.
how many of you have left since 2015?.
this month will be my 21 years out of the org into the road of freedom.
I walked away from the last day of my District Convention on July 3, 2011. My letter of resignation is in the works. I'm waiting on my attorney to write a cover. My exit will be official in 2015!
jw governing body claims to be the faithful slave.
did you know how (in sworn testimony during the recent australian royal commission hearing) governing body member geoffrey jackson responded to the question, do you see yourselves as jehovahs spokespeople on earth?.
jackson replied, that, i think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.. really?
my wife and i just found out that our disassociation was announced last night.
we....are...free!.
i'd like to take a moment to thank some people:.
Dubstepped, congratulations to you and your wife!
please delete this.
(not able to post right now).
sorry about all the pm's asking people to sign the petition.. if that's why i was banned from posting.
No need to be sorry. It takes a while to learn to navigate the forum. New posters have a daily posting limit to prevent spamming, etc. I'm sure it's in the forum guidelines.
Welcome!
awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.
and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.
i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.
dark were my thoughts when i drew these after losing emma.....she was so beautiful...i thought i might say more with art than complaining......
after listening to the hearings of the australian royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, i am no longer content to have simply walked away from the organization.
as a matter of conscience, i do not want my name linked with the organization in any way.
i know this letter has been posted previously, and i thank the author.
My attorney has approved the text of my letter. He said it is well written and researched and he would not change a thing.Thanks again to all who have contributed to the content. I will be sending a letter to each of the two local congregations.
The next step is for my attorney to write a cover letter summarizing what I have stated, closing with instructions for the elders to call him if they have any questions. Further he will state that under no circumstances are they to contact me. I'll post his cover letter when I receive it.

Address
SENT BY US MAIL, REGISTERED, CERTIFIED, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
To:
The Body of Elders of the [named] Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses
C/o [xxx], Congregation Secretary
Address
After listening to sworn testimony of victims of child sexual abuse within the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Australia, Jehovah’s Witness elders and a governing body member in a public hearing of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, as a matter of conscience and to exercise of my rights under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I, Sail Away, hereby resign from The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, et al, the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, et al, and the [named] Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses effective immediately, September xx, 2015.
I hereby declare myself no longer a member.
As a non-member, I demand complete freedom from all religious
practices, which include but are not limited to discipline and retaliation.
Examples of such religious practices may include a formal announcement of my
non-member status before the [named] Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses or any
other congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, shunning, intentional infliction of
emotional distress, harassment, slander, invasion of privacy, etc. Should you
engage in any such conduct towards me, I will immediately and fully utilize all
legal means to stop those acts. Any and all of the above-named parties may be
held jointly and severally responsible.
Please refer to the following:
· Bear v. Reformed Mennonite Church
· Guinn v. Church of Christ of Collinsville
· McNair v. Worldwide Church of God
Furthermore, I request immediate, complete, and permanent cessation from all contact from church elders, ministerial servants, circuit overseers or any other member appointed to a position of authority in the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This includes, but is not limited to mail, electronic communications, telephone and in-person visits taking place at my residence (address noted above), workplace, or elsewhere.
Please be aware that I will consider any
in-person visits by appointed men on private property henceforth to be
trespassing, and should that occur, I will utilize all legal means to stop that
act, including but not limited to civil and criminal complaints. Personal
social approach in public is always welcomed and appreciated. I have no quarrel
with individual members of the congregation, but again, I do not want to be
further burdened by coercion from these organizations’ appointed authorities
acting in that capacity.
Thank you in advance for respecting my right to freedom from religion.
Signed,
Sail Away
