"Hopefully I will follow the plan and in few months I will start to miss meetings, and become inactive again"
So much for the Elders "holy spirit" and their keen ability to read repentant hearts. What a joke!
it was rather quick one.
in just few months and after attending all of their meetings and giving them a nice show, i'm back to the org!!!
(what a relief-sarcastic laugh) .

this was a very painful article to read, and i can only imagine that after this years convention - people will be even more emboldened to cut off friends and family.. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/07/03/many-ex-jehovahs-witnesses-have-received-texts-from-loved-ones-ending-their-relationships-forever/?utm_source=silverpopmailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atheist%20071316%20(1)&utm_content=&spmailingid=51830798&spuserid=mty4mdi2oty3odkws0&spjobid=961945281&spreportid=otyxotq1mjgxs0.
Let's hope, over time, all of this crap hits the media. When my spouse and I decided to fade, we knew full on what we could and should expect from family and "friends." Hopefully the "loving organization" will be exposed for what it really is.
If I/we receive anything like this from family or "friends", I/we will reply that that is their decision and I/we will go along with it BUT if they ever should need anything they must remember that I/we are dead to them and dead people can not assist the living. Two can play the same game. Good riddance to them! Is it hurtful...yes. It should not be this way.
The Governing Body has a lot of blood on their hands.
WHAT A SICK CULT!

dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.
so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.
Someone needs a Snickers! lol
jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.
i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?
where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?
No new ones coming in from Door to door/cartwitnessing + teens/young adults leaving equals NO GROWTH! I can't express how happified we are. lol

This newer generation is learning to be more tolerant of others.They are learning critical thinking. They are internet and computer literate. I get help with my computer from my teenager. lol
It's a different generation than ours...you want a tatoo....get one. You love someone of the same sex...it's ok. WT is still in the June and Ward Clever era. These kids WILL NOT tolerate you telling them what to do and when to do it.
times union jehovahs witnesses assembly.
did anyone attend the albany assembly?
the photos in this article shows many empty seats!.
Last assembly I went to they were packed in like sardines and the attendants were like little hitlers when it came to where you sat. Have not been to an assembly in over 3 years. Wishful thinking, I guess.

Times Union Jehovahs Witnesses Assembly
Did anyone attend the Albany assembly? The photos in this article shows many empty seats!
The article mentioned this was on Sunday:
"Regional Jehovah's Witnesses Convention at the Times Union Center on Sunday, July 10, 2016, in Albany, N.Y."
Would be great to get the attendance amount for someone who attended.
Edited: The comments stated 4000 in attendance, 20 baptized.
