  Sample Disassociation Letter please?

  by LifesNotOver in

  1. watchtower

  i want to send a disassociation letter to the elders at my old congregation.

  how do i address it and what wording do i use?

  i know it's not something i have to do, it's symbolic for me.

  Observations from an Ex-Elder Part 2 - Cart Work

  by doubtfull1799 in

  up until i left recently i was participating in the cart work.

  in the location where we used to set up near our local mall we never had one person stop and take literature or stop and chat - other than fellow brothers.

  i thought maybe it was just a bad location or something.

  why even have the carts "manned" ---- just set them up in a public area--chained securely--with a few tracts available to anyone who wants to help themselves. it may well turn out to be more productive--without a person in attendance.

  the dub who sets it up then counts the time till they return to remove it--say 8 hours later

  i would have hated to do cart witnessing. i did pioneer in my teens--but mostly it meant traipsing round housing estates when most houses were not homes---or the person slammed the door in my face.

  but imagine cart witnessing!--no hiding place..and being picked on by any religious nutter with their own agenda.

  in reading these posts, it sounds like a lot of you are very jealous of the wt.

  society’s annual income and the money they/we have in the bank.

  jehovah has indeed blessed us.

  if you really need religion in your life---shop around! sooner or later you will find one your comfortable with--not too demanding.

  it doesnt matter which--they all worship the same imaginary myth.

  How Old Was Eve When She Was Tempted?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has this question ever been answered by wt or biblical apologetic?.

  if near the beginning of her creation, would she not have had the effective development of a a toddler or even a baby?.

  if so, would you sentence a toddler or a baby to death for grabbing an appealing candy from a bowl?.

  you either believe the bible--or you dont.

  where in the bible does it say what you are about to read is just a myth or a fable ?

  which bits are literal and which are symbolic ?

  so guys--its talking snake--spare rib--a flood--parting of the sea--sun standing still--144,000---

  or theres fact.

  Three congregations dissolved and a kingdom hall sold within a 50 mile radius in my area...

  by UNCONDITIONAL LOVE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else heard of these situations with congregations and halls in your area?

  i thought the ground breaking mandatory pledge a little while ago was to keep up with "immense" growth?

  how soon they forget... looks really bleak for the future of the wbats, the jw gravy train seems to be coming to a slow and agonizing yet inevitable stop.

  When you were an active WT door knocker... How did you knock?

  by LoisLane looking for Superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on the door frame, on the door, door knocker, bell.. loud, very loud, regular, soft... gentle... or just pretended and never knocked at all?

  we just had a city worker come a knocking on our front door and my responce after she left was, she should go down to the local kingdom haul and give lessons.

  her knock was so loud, she could raise the dead.

  when i was pioneering--i nearly always worked with someone else. if we found no-one at home--we would stand on the doorstep talking to each other for ages--before the slow trudge to the next house.

  from what ive observed--nothing has changed.--in 50 years.
