Three years of extra madness! Will the locals survive it? This is on top of their own bills, families and regular local demands? It will be interesting to watch this! Sounds like potential frenzy. However, the WTS is a master at driving their volunteers hard with guilt manipulation and organizational skills as long as people don't question.

Isn't it a 'mission' by most people, or at least something to be 'respected' by most is to: love, joy and peace. Plaques/banners are everywhere on those. Each one of those should be believed in , but are up to each person to find the plenty of ways.
Plenty of busy-ness on 'love.' Love our neighbor 'as ourselves.' 'Ourselves,' yes, our health, 'exercise,' eating healthfully. Isn't there a "good deed for the day" to do. A mission. Help someone, certainly there are eons of services or causes.
'Peace.' A peaceful manner / inner and toward others, should keep us plenty busy.
'Joy.' Unfortunately, the WT zapped/destroys that right out of us, when there are so many, many ways to find joy, reading a book, watching a great movie or documentary, a trip (even just a daily or local trip, an outing).
There is a grand variety of things to believe in, not a one size fits all fakeness, but for every individual in his way.

The "love-bombing" may help him temporarily, but one slip-up and they will turn on him and they will be inadequate to help him. They don't have programs to help ones like this.

To DA myself or to go to JC meeting, that is the question
by Crazyguy ini just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.
so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.

They won't take you seriously anymore. Only a letter with letterhead & lawyer's name will stop them. Then, it has to go to legal department.

ugh,, unless you are going to beg for mercy,,they are already setting up the 'gallows,' probably. There is nothing you can say when there's two or more of them elders in on this already, gang mentality has already set in. (At best, if one is alone can any points be made.) Sounds too late for that.
Wish you the best!
