YOU ARE HER EVERYTHING!
by Atlantis inyou are what she wanted to be!please, let us remove any blame to anyone right up front.
what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.
she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.

Ours was more but they didn't outline the differences or reasons. I know of one congregation that resolved to donate slightly more than they took in on a gross basis the last several months. Unsure how they would go about paying their normal operating expenses when/if they ever go back.

My letter of disassociation, what do you think?
by James Jack indear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.
that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.
statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!

Great picture Ken! Good luck on your campaign. If I lived in AL, I'd vote for you.I love the no BS sort of approach you are taking. I volunteer for our local youth sports programs and it just feels great to contribute even in a small way to the community. I never got that feeling knocking on doors.

What I did was gradually decreased my commenting over a few months to zero. Same for service although I turned in a nominal amount of time. In short order, people quit inviting us to "gatherings" and the like. When I go, people still talk to me but it's very superficial and these are folks I've known for 20+ years. I never say anything negative and they don't really press for answers. It's kinda weird to be honest but we've been able to strike a balance that allows us access to family without blowing the whole thing up. Probably got lucky based on many stories I hear.

Snare & Racket,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! I didn't realize you were a doctor and all medical professionals are heroes in my book during normal times and especially now. Thanks for providing the first hand account.
