"this is to inform the congregation that done4good is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".
that announcement was made last thursday after i sent my d/a letter in.
they boe wasted no time.
have you family in? i'd be interested to know what led you to make the decision to get daed??
Yes, I do. But I wasn't much of a "quiet" fader when I was fading, so they stopped communication with me pretty early on in the process. I didn't like the duplicity of having the jw title in name only anymore. So I layed it out for the BOE.

i'm talking door to door service work here.
were you the kind who would insist on getting a conversation at ever door?
or where you (like me) the kind who would take a "not interested" as an excuse to get the hell out of the householders face?
For the first few years, I was moderately responsible about it, albeit begrudingly. Before too long, I started not taking down not at homes, even not keeping a call book. I almost never did my own calls. Always drove the car group. Took looong breaks. Basically the FS was not my thing.

That announcement was made last Thursday after I sent my d/a letter in. They BOE wasted no time. I have a fading friend on the "inside" who gave me the skinny.

is it that bad??
is it worse than fundamentalists of every other sort?
are jws worse than radical muslims?
Bethel was in "LOCKDOWN". No one could leave or come in. JWs are the farthest thing from a humanitarian organization! Yet right after this, they were on the streets passing out tracts giving people "hope"! Ha!
That is unreal, Minimus, just disgusting. I never would have thought that, not even from them.

What Jaguarbass said. I would also add, anything that can not allow for mental freedom should be immediately recognized as evil.

two months ago i stepped down as an elder in the cong, it was a tremdous relief although a shock to the cong.
two and a half days ago i sent in a letter of explaination concerning why i wanted to step down and why i will be absent from the kh.
it only took two and a half days for the accusation of apostasy to be made against me.
Welcome, Concerned X! It will be tough road ahead, but well worth it in the end!

there are 3 current threads that say these very things.
(ok, the one about armageddon says it will come within days or weeks--not months--so that means june 2007.
seems to me this is whipping up into a paranoia bigger than the 1980s apostate scare, bigger than they've ever seen before.
The whole thing is just cyclical, that's all. 1975 was 32 years ago, and it's time once again stir up the masses. The last time they did this before '75 was the early 1940s, another 30 odd years. People are realizing the end isn't comming anytime soon, so desparation on the part of the GB kicks in as a matter of course. Once the numbers begin to dwindle becasue of it, they'll shut up for a while again.

i'm just curious, if you could imagine taking control over the jws.
as an acting president, what specific changes would you make to .
the organization to make it more approachable, livable and attainable for the general population ?.
Close shop.

Congrats, Min.

when the berlin wall came down, even before the offical dissolution of the soviet union, the watchtower was quick to back away from the idea that russia was the king of the north.
nothing really changed.
true, there is an appearance of friendship and cooperation between russia and the us but russia is the one country that can totally destroy the usa.
I would take the time to explain how an atheist like me STILL believes in Bible Prophecy if you asked...
I would really like to hear that. No, I'm not being sarcastic here.
