I don't do much ministry but when I do I just use the bible and no publications.
You're on your way out which is where you should be.
i am an 'active' jw but i do not agree with most of the doctrines inc blood, baptism, the memorial etc etc.i took the emblems at the memorial because i think we all should recognise and accept jesus' command to remember him.

as i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.
these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.
so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.
That's a good idea but if she doesn't want to get df'd she should be careful what she say on the air.opusdei1972:

On the other hand if she doesn't care she could bring up the Australian Commission's investigation. They might threaten to sue her though.
i have spent 45 years of my life sacrificing my soul to the watchtower.

Hitler promised the Germans an empire that would last a thousand years.
Mussolini promised the Italians that they would become a second Roman Empire.

I have told to my sister that she must report to the police that these two elders are stalking her.
