Hello all,
Last night's meeting at our congregation was exactly 2 weeks since our Public Reproof.
My wife was in attendance. The Local Needs talk was about...APOSTASY!
This of course lets the congregation know exactly what our reproof was for. If people only knew that we were simply asking questions.
We have not started our own break-away church, and we are not worshipping Satan! Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that the saga continues..thanks for all the support.

If you already have the picture scanned in, then you should be able to simply cut and paste into the body of your post or email.
If it isn't workning maybe Simon could help. He seems like a helpful, friendly chap! -

I have a letter from the WTS explaining the OFFICIAL beards policy.
It is on WT letterhead. So this should put this subject to rest.
I will scan it later tonight and load it onto this thread.

fading away quietly
by DIM inmy wife and i are moving 3000 miles away so that we can fade away as jehovah's witnesses.
i am looking for suggestions as to what i should do about our publisher record cards (keep them in pa?, get them forwarded to seattle?
) so that we can start our lives on the west coast with a fresh start and so we'll just be left alone...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hey DIM,
Here is a summary for you the suggestions made so far that I really liked:1) Tell the elders you will be staying with relatives/friends until you find a place and will then inform then where you want your cards forwarded when you find a congregation. Of course, you never find a congregation.
2) Establish a PO Box as soon as you get there (this is a very inexpensive way to give people back in PA a way to keep in touch without knowing the EXACT street you live on)
3)Dont give anyone your address. NOBODY. Only your PO Box
Now, here's what I would add:
4) if you don't have already, get caller ID for the phone.
5) When witnesses come-a-knockin', which they surely will eventually since Seattle is a metropolitan area, DONT give in to temptation to engage them in a discussion. Not too long ago my wife met a nice lady while out in door-to-door, the woman became a regular "return visit". She eventually told my wife that she was an inactive witness (her husband not a witness). My wife, doing her duty, promptly told the Service Overseer about her. The elders made a couple of "shepherding" visits to encourage(harass)her.

Thanks to Stephen Bates for his interest and writing talent! I wish there were more journalists in this country that would feature this stuff. Once your eyes are open you realize that the organization is full of self importance, nobody in the real world gives a hoot about Watch Tower policies and how they may harm their people.

PS. Stephen, thanks for using our experience in the article!

Nelly,
Thanks for asking. We're doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. My wife is survivor, so I know she'll pull through this.
