i'm not sure where to start, probably in two major areas.

mechanics thing, that can't work, and what i see as the lack of true love in the brotherhood.

i've been in "the truth" or lack thereof, for about 30 years, give or take a little.

i'm curious, when you made your decision to leave the org.

did you do it before or after looking at this kind of internet sites?.

in my case i made my decision without ever looking any of this websites.
Cellist

Before. We faded about 14 years ago and found this site just a couple of years ago.

Elder Alert!!!!!
by flag in
1. jw
2. friends
i received my first elder call yesterday.

he wants to talk to me today.

i have never been afraid of the elders but i also have no experience on what they are going to say because i have never ask for their opinion on anything and i have never been accused of anything either so, any ex or current elders here that can brief me about what to expect?.
Cellist

It took about 2 years for them to leave us alone. But that's partly because we moved in that 2 years and went through the whole thing all over again after our move. (JW relatives set us up). Health problems and depression are good covers. The main thing is to be vague in everything. "I don't know" is a very useful statement. (As long as you don't direct it specifically at the "Society".) The less you say the better. Shrug alot. Change the subject to innocent topics.

Lo' and Behold - I start hearing Kingdom Melodies in the coffee shop.....
by AK - Jeff in

i was peacefully reading an old copy of stephen cox' article "can the truth survive the internet", and all of a sudden i realize that the instrumental music playing is the d*mn kingdom melodies.

it was actually pretty good.

it was that instrumental cd released sometime back with a lot of harp, piano, and woodwinds in it.
Cellist

Open mindedness is all well and good. But, I still make my husband turn off the Kingdom Melody tapes. He only puts them on when he wants to bug me.
