i got reinstated in the last month and had my record cards sent to a new congregation.
i went to a few meetings until i heard the cards had been sent and now i am looking to do a complete fade, no longer go at all.
the new congregation does not know me well and further away from where i live so i am hoping they will give up trying to make contact quickly.. any advice on do's and dont's and what to expect?.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Seriously, that's a good idea.
I know a woman who remained in good standing without attending meetings and FS for a super long time, and her dad remained MS in good standing too. Her relatives even said she was faking it to get out of jw stuff, but really this chick did not leave the house much. I guess if that or being an active dubbie are your only 2 choices...

Throw out mail. Block emails, texts and social media.
If they mail you literature subscriptions (do they still do that?), mark them "return to sender" unopened.
I agree with pbrow: Basically live in fear and waste time in the only life that you are absolutely sure you have.
I imagine you had your reasons for being reinstated, but now that you are, you are a lot less beholden to them.
You can shun them now! That's what I do.

just a bit of fun..
I saw some tourists taking smiling selfies at Ground Zero in NYC when it was in ruins. Reminds me of that meme. Unbelievable. I can totally imagine heartless jws doing that at Armageddon.
best use yet for old light.
i have no vested interest in her art venture, just an fyi her name is sarah riches hall.
in australia.. .
This is similar to a line I have been working on. Great minds?
"jehovah's witnesses are too cultish for my liking" what do you think about my new word invention?.
Feel free to IM me all of your invented words and I will publish them in the Apostate Dictionary, which I update from time to time.
I just added cultooish, cultocracy, etc. from this thread--these will go in the next update, whenever I get around to it.
Outlaw, is Brother Let's name spelled correctly in that cartoon? I thought it was Lett.
not sure if this has already been submitted, but we need exjws to mobilize on this.. from: https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/5kzyfn/lets_get_jws_propaganda_out_of_disneyland/.

i submitted the following on the disneyland facebook page (link below) on december 19th after seeing jws peddling their cult propaganda at downtown disney in anaheim, ca.
Personally, I would focus more on shorter paragraphs and things that Disney would directly care about:
Insert links backing up all of these things, and I think you've got a strong case they will pay attention to.
nathan, outlaw.....all of you hilarious people...this means you!
i believe in humor as an effective way to bring attention to an important topic.
humor has made many people aware of the true nuttiness of the jw cult in the past (sign language masturbation video—went viral).. amazon allows humorous reviews and even showcases them.
I got a reply on Amazon. Apparently having a sense of humor makes me a "sad person".
Way to go, Brad Schroeder! You sound like an awesome person!
Initial post: Dec 28, 2016 10:59:48 PM PST Brad Schroeder says:What a sad little person you are. Tell me, what's it like having the Watchtower Society live rent free in your head?
How about some of you normal people write some responses and/or rate my review?
I need to run now so I can continue being sad. LOL
so our sunday meeting was on the 25th (christmas) and my active jw wife and i were out of town enjoying some family time with relatives.. apparently there were many others in our congregation that missed as well.
so few were there in fact that sisters ran the mics.
(actually it was a sister running one of the two mics) a friend of my wife commented to her about how the brothers just aren't stepping up and it "makes her want to cry.
relax REBEL I would think that if you were able to direct your urine into a toilet bowl with a vagina while standing is proof positive that your appointment is by holy spirit
"Dear brothers,
I wrote to you a few weeks ago and haven't heard back. I need to give you an update and again plead with you for help. Things are getting worse!
I elbowed the brothers in the back after the Thursday meeting and said, "Can you believe that Sister Jones, wearing lip gloss and leaving 2 buttons unbuttoned on her blouse? What a harlot!"
I balanced my checkbook all by myself today without even asking my husband to check it for accuracy.
I can now write my name in the snow. HELP!!"

Wow, this shocks me.
I feel like writing a few Question From Readers:
"Dear brothers, I was recently appointed to the position of Microphone Servant. I understand the importance of this duty and my role as a dumber, weaker vessel.
"Since starting my new responsibilities, I have found myself becoming more confident and decisive, and not in a spiritually subservient way either. It's just...when I walk down that aisle and hand someone the mic, I feel powerful. Jah has chosen me for this task over brothers!
"At first, the changes were subtle. I started wearing pants while cleaning the house and hall instead of full slip, pantyhose, panties underneath the pantyhose, full skirt, low-heeled pumps, and a blouse with 1 extra button fastened for jehoover.
"At the Thursday meeting, I tried to raise my hand when they wanted someone to second a motion to donate all of our money to the World Wide Work.
"This morning, I rolled out of bed and sleepily made my way to the bathroom before having my coffee. A moment later, I realized I was STANDING UP WHILE PEEING.
"What can I do?"
.
what do you think about using pre-teens to work religious propaganda phonebank?.
Not much different than field service--easier and less humiliating, actually.
But of course no child or adult should ever be involved in that cult in any way.
Why do they have to wear meeting clothes to talk on the phone? LOL.
