Waking Them Up When They Feel Safe
by KerryKing ingood morning all, i would love some genuine advice please.. i have an old friend who is still in the org, but has never been the very staunch type.
however, she is going through a very rough patch in life, (past deeds from youth caught up and now is in prison) and i reached out to her by old fashioned snail mail.. by her reply she sounds more pimi than ever and finding some sort of comfort in the literature.
would i be wrong to attempt to wake her up, would that actually be a cruel thing to do right now?

I personally would not send her anything or try to wake her up unless she asked you why you left, or expressed doubts or questions.
I would be a friend since she is going through such a difficult time. There is always time for that later. By maintaining a relationship where she feels free and safe to talk with you, it leaves the door open for those types of discussions when the time is right.
My $.02.

Hi LHG,
I actually do get it. ATM I think I was feeling a little sad for my brother and the delayed gratification etc. And his wife is very very ill, and it's very hard for them...their choice I know. Their life within the congregation is pretty good, I think. They are looked after more than most it sounds like. It works for them.
I left in 2001 also and never regretted it for one second. It was difficult, but it was the surest decision I have ever made.

All we can do is be thankful we got Out of there.
I was talking with my sister last night about this very thing. We are so grateful to be out. Our brother and his family are still in, many many health issues and facing just a few years more of not so golden years.
They can't understand why we left, and we can't understand why they would stay with all the false predictions and prophecies.

Redding Drama
by Bill Covert inif any one was so inclined to go back to 2013 on the site and locate the posts on the note takers reporting on the 2013 convention [the release of the rnwt and gb demanding obedience] there were two note takers who reported on the main talk "human apostates" that there was a new tactic being used, letter writing to the publishers homes.
the main subject of those letters was a elder joe moore.
on 12-26-2007 i taped court case #149893 to kh doors.

The Universities do not teach anything healthy if that is what they learn to be political rioters.
Nothing like generalizing everything into one pot. Someone hasn't a clue about education.

You can't get expelled for going to college. Half the congregation I go to is/went to college. However, nobody talks about it so it's perfectly fine.
Exactly. My last congregation had real businessmen who were the elder body and all their kids went to college. They understood what the value of education was.
However, in the 1970's, a friend of mine went to secretarial school after high school and she got a load of **it for it. Her father wasn't a JW, and she still went, but what a load of crock.

I was told the hours for full time in the 30's-40's was 150, although not called pioneers back then I think. Also "vacation pioneers" were for a 2 month minimum at 150 each month. My brother and sister were baptized kids then, and participated. They went out alone at 7 and 9 living in DTLA.
