  Is there any way to salvage or save our relationship?

  There is nothing to save as there is no relationship.

  A relationship involves the effort & cooperation of at least two people. If only you desire to build a relationship, but your sibling(s) do not, then you will continue to be disappointed, frustrated and probably depressed over the situation. You can only control your own actions, not the actions of others.

  As already mentioned by others, move on and create a good life for yourself, involving people who like, respect and love you for who you are now.

  If your siblings later have a change of heart and attitude and pursue a relationship with you, you may then choose to agree, but that relationship will be based on terms that are agreeable to both/all parties.

  Although it seems you successfully faded, providing a resignation letter implies they continue to have some authority over you as a member.

  If you truly consider yourself as no longer a member and therefore don't need to answer to them, do not communicate anything.

  Who we are today, is a result of the life experiences we have gained up to this stage in life.

  Too many dwell on what could have been if their situation had been different than it was but in actuality, hindsight is 20/20 and no one really knows at the time what the future will bring. Most 18-year olds typically want to party and chase the opposite sex and think there is lots of time ahead of them.

  You can't change what is in the past. Better to utilize your gained knowledge and experience to recognize what not to do so as to focus on changes to make over the rest of your life.

  i need your help with this topic.

  i’m trying to find an elder’s letter or wt article that frown upon a good standing jw allowing an unmarried couple to stay over their house for the night.. my wife claims this is a conscience matter and i say that’s bs, this leadership does not allow it.

  would like to find this info..

  The way I understand the OP is this couple would be staying for one night only.

  The chances are zero to none that they’d be doing the nasty in someone else’s bed as a guest. - Solomon

  :-)

  A close relative uses a basement room as an Air B&B for short term stays. They had a couple stay for one night to attend a friend's wedding. After returning from the wedding reception during the night, this couple proceeded to wake-up everyone in the house while performing an extended sex session which included unrestrained moaning and banging against the headboard and against the walls within the shower.

  Privacy commissioner orders North Okanagan Jehovah's Witnesses to hand over private records

  Currently, the link fails to open.

  If there was no files collected and retained for each congregant, there would be nothing for the Privacy Commissioner to demand from Elders or WT.

  Do other religions retain files detailing the past behaviour history of each of their congregants?

  Not invited to congregation “get togethers”. They finally said it

  by solomon in

  we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.

  we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.

  we go in service at least once a month.

  More than 2 decades ago while attending a circuit assembly as they were still called then, the doofus Elder delivering the part, bragged that he and his family ONLY associate with others that are stronger "In The Truth" than they are.

  He was promoting that as the attitude all JWs should have.
  

  I commented to my SO, that Elder should be relieved everyone does not have that attitude as the people he associates with, wouldn't associate with he and his family.

  One benefit to being treated as an outsider or unworthy, with no close friends, it makes it easier to leave when realizing it is all BS.

  Fauci is finally receiving much critism so the left is trying to over compensate to elevate his image.

  Who else did they attempt do that for? The now ex-governor of NY state.

  The Stupidity Of The Biden Administration Knows No Bounds

  so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.

  option 1: it's a trick question surely?

  you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.

  Scary21, you asked: was this done on purpose?

  Another way to phrase the question would be: if a President of the country wanted to undermine and overthrow the standing political system and the rights of citizens, would they do anything differently than Biden and his party have done and are continuing to do?
