Service overseer reviews the past service year, focusing on the good things accomplished in the ministry.
Who wants to bet that this is more about how much volume of work was done, instead of how productive the work was?

my doctors surgery has a jw on the reception and i dont want her to have access to my notes in am going to ask the doctor to make sure she is denied access is this being spiteful?
she would not talk to me otherwise so why should she have acesses to my most personal information.
JW's are told (thought I can't remember the specific mag) to tell the elders should a JW go to a doctor with a problem that might be caused by some sort of sin. I would imagine that there would be some JW's who take this a step further and would tell the elders about ex-JW's too, just in case that ex-JW is seeking reinstatement (because most of us are you know ) I would bring this up with the doctor.

in the final installment of my story, i am done with my local congregation now.
in the past month, i have been df'd, un-df'd attended a meeting where i shook everyones hand and smiled ... and now i have sent everyone in the hall this letter, roughly 60 addresses:.
open letter to the north congregation of jehovahs witnesses.
Good point, NarkOh boy...
If they have undf'd you for fear of being sued this letter on this topic is the worst possible motive to df you (again).
Kwin, I never thought of this, but yah ...
Yeah, the Holy Spirit WTS legal dept. is really going to have to think about it twice before it decides what to do.
On one hand, you have someone who isn't scared of them and knows his rights, on the other hand, you have a cong of JW's who know EVERYTHING that has been going on. What do you do?
Kwin ... the newest Emperor!

Kwin - excellent point concerning DNA and taking kids to the Police FIRST. Great point really.
I must admit, I took that point from another letter I read. I'm not sure if I can divulge where I got it from or who wrote it, but if they're reading I hope they take credit for it.

There is no need to DF you, you have DA'd yourself with that letter
They're NOT going to make that mistake again. I've made asses of themselves once, I'll do it again if they're so stupid.
Jourles, funny addition. Where were you before I sent it? Oh, vacation. Hope you had a good time.
Horrible Life, I think they were scared of me. I reeked of worldling with my beard and sneakers at the meeting!
Poztate, The elders are most scared when the cong starts to think. No good can come of it from the WTS point of view.
Juni, I've had my name spelt wrong since I was a kid. No big deal! Thanks for the thoughts!

it has been over 8 years since i have been in a hall.
yet once in a while when i'm doing menial tasks i start to hum a kingdom melody.
aaahh!!!
No, however sometimes I piss Mrs Kwin off by humming them and getting them stuck in her head.
Maybe some time, I'll post the clip of me singing at the last meeting I went to, the one for my un-DF'ing. I was BELTING it out! They must think I'm crazy!

JustTickledPink, I love not sounding crazy! Not often I hear that!
avishai, you're always there! Thanks!
claytoncapeletti, the point from the get-go was to make the elders look like assholes. It's worked for me so far, of course they're so predictable it's easy for me to stay a couple steps ahead. Except for the part when they DF'd me ... that just threw me right off, but I sorted that out!
jgnat, thanks for the PM! It meant a lot.
Maverick, I put the silentlambs.org link on there on purpose. I knew they would know off the bat that it was "apostate" yet gives those who don't know what's going on a chance to see for themselves.
Hamsterbait, I'll check out that site.
midge, I hope they do make an announcement soon. Will give me more to write about! They won't be doing it behind my back this time though.
Narkissos, I hope I've played my cards right. They'll have a lot to discuss before they contact me again.
HappyDad, next time I'm in PA, I'll let you know! Congrats on being a JEDI!
Everyone else! Thanks for your support. It's great to know that everyone here is behind me (just don't get on my bad side)

it feels soooo good having finished the last assignment for the open university courses i've been doing - the 18th one this year .
now i just have to revise for the exams (3 of them over 2 days) ... and if i get at least 40% then i pass, get an extra qualification and we get extra immigration points to get us on our way to canada.
anything extra is a bonus ... distinctions would be nice but i need to get 85% in the exams for that.. although i resent the impact of the wts on my life and not being able to go to university when i should, this actually isn't a bad way to do it - you don't run up massive debts like current students do and because you have more experience probably do better at a subject than if you are starting out.
Good for you Simon! You must be proud your effort has paid off.
See you in Canada soon.
