If you are thinking about "Stepping Down" you better do it QUICK!

the new arrangement for co's to handle deletions (and appointments) means you no longer will be able to give your friends on the body an excuse and step down.

you will have to answer to the co and most likely have a long uncomfortable chat about everything with him in order to step down.

so if you have been thinking about stepping down, you need to do it quick before the new arrangement..

An Anti-Witnessing Campaign, Please Join Me!

in the past few weeks, the shunning issue has become a very personal one for me, and i have begun to realize that it is not just enough for me and my family to fade out.

after some recent events, i am motivated to start some anti-watchtower activism of my own.. i, like many others, have hoped that there would be a scandal of epic proportions within the organization, something that would wake others up and trigger a mass exodus.. while i am still hopeful that this may happen, it seems that the organization is too good at damage control, and heightening the paranoia surrounding apostates.. but what if the ex-witness community tried a different approach?.

what if, to borrow a hockey term, a sort of shut out situation was created?.
