If witnesses were allowed to talk to people that have left the Watchtower it would lead them asking them questions about why they left. That wouldn't be in the Watchtower's best interest. Better to paint those who leave as monsters to be avoided at all costs.

Dont Give Them More Power Than They Deserve
by Tech49 ina new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.
dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.
we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.

If you want to have some fun with them show up with your own microphone on Sunday. Make sure yours is bigger than theirs.
Great post. Definitely an empowering moment when you realize that there is no reason to fear them. They only have the power over you that you allow them to have. In reality they have less authority than a crossing guard.

All they need to do is put a disclaimer on the bottom that say "If you are currently disfellowshipped Jehovah doesn't want you back yet. Just sit at the back of the hall and don't talk to anyone and don't expect anyone to talk to you. We'll be watching you.". -

Amazing how paranoid they become when asked a simple question. Right away they want to find out who you are and what you are up to.

bloody religion !!! how could any sane people do this - 2 girls to be raped as a punishment for their brother's "crime."
by fulltimestudent inbeen sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.
two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".
however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.

Just wrote my DA letter....
by dubstepped inmy wife and i planned on fading but the elders now want a shepherding call and we are just done.
i know that many play the game to try to stay in, but i'm not a game player and neither is my wife.
our families already shun us because we reached out to a disfellowshipped family member.

Sending a letter of dissociation is not playing their game. It is just what you said closure. It's letting them know in no uncertain terms that you don't believe it anymore and that you are done with it and are moving one with your life. I've never understood why some consider this "playing their game". Playing a game is not coming out and telling them how you feel and pretending you still believe it to avoid confrontation. -

Director of Bloodless Medicine and Surgery at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh Accused of Illegally Hunting Lion
by AudeSapere inhttp://news.yahoo.com/zimbabwe-accuses-2nd-american-illegally-hunting-lion-060415307.html#.
harare, zimbabwe (ap) zimbabwe has accused a pennsylvania doctor of illegally killing a lion in april, as it seeks to extradite a minnesota dentist who killed a well-known lion named cecil in july.. jan casimir seski of murrysville, pennsylvania, shot the lion with a bow and arrow near hwange national park, without approval and on land where it was not allowed, said zimbabwe's national parks and wildlife management authority.. landowner headman sibanda was arrested and is assisting police, it said.. seski, a gynecological oncologist who directs the center for bloodless medicine and surgery at allegheny general hospital in pittsburgh, is a big-game hunter according to safari outfitters and bow-hunting sites.
kill shots on the sites identify "dr. jan seski" as the man standing next to slain animals including elephants, a hippo, an ostrich and antelopes such as an impala, a kudu, and a nyala.. seski did not respond to messages left by the associated press at his home and with an answering service for his medical practice.

Kind of ironic that a doctor involved in bloodless surgery would be out seeking the blood of innocent animals not for food but for sport.

I can see doing this for a short time if you're working on a plan to get them out by introducing facts. Maybe getting them to know people outside the organization you feel can get them to start thinking. If your talking about people that keep attending year after year pretending to believe the Watchtower BS they aren't doing anybody any good. They are making it easier for their spouse to stay in and along the way might even inadvertently be getting other people involved in the Watchtower. I've heard of cases where both the husband and wife hadn't believed in years but were both just pretending to rather than make waves. They might have been out years earlier if one of them had taken a stand and said something. -
