instructions for congregation secretary.
So I guess you could leave the congregation and a few months later send a "death certificate" to your old congregation with a fake lawyer letterhead. Saying Joe Person (I mean Joe Publisher) is deceased and to update records.
Boom, no more being bothered. Just stay out of sight. LOL

i was just wondering if there is any official rules on dealing with this.
a sister in the congregation is planning to divorce her husband who is also a witness so she can marry a different brother in the same hall!
yes this is a huge scandal!
Carlyle, IL. Big scandal. Elder and pioneer sister did the deed IN THE KH. Known throughout the circuit.
Wouldn't want to clean the carpet THAT weekend...just saying.
They married, got reinstated, rubbed it in everyones face as if no big deal.
No idea what ever happened to them. I was only there a few months as an MTS grad back in 02.

is there anything that will make that loyal witness ever see the light??
you know, that well respected elder, pioneer, or witness who has been in the “truth “ for decades..
I had crap happen in 1991, should have left then. Worked my way back up the ladder. 95 REALLY bothered me. Should have left. Stayed, kept climbing the ladder, became an elder. Went to MTS in 2002, seen some disturbing behavior, should have left, kept on. In 06, I could have fought being deleted as an elder and won. Instead, I quit fighting and let them.
Changed congos in 07, faded, should have left then.. Oh, wait, I DID. NEVER went back.

so how many of us who conducted the b school have the reoccurring flashbacks every damn time we now pomo, put our hand on blinds to raise or lower them?.
we either fiddled with lowering them every week as we got the school underway or fiddled with to raise them to "listen in to the #3 in progress" up front.
every time i grab the pull string or the louver adjustment wand anywhere i inevitably have a kh ops moment of pause.
Lol.
I remember having a B school fore the sole purpose of some little boy doing a bible reading, then doing just what you said. Or....we timed it with the main school to send everyone back to the main auditorium and out of the cramped B school. Stupid.

if we haven’t associated with the congregation in years, could it be said we are not jws?
or must you be disfellowshipped or disassociated to officially say you really aren’t a witness?.
I walked away in 2007. Never DF, DA, ABCDE....whatever. I DID make it clear to the local PO, that if my name were ever mentioned from the platform, or that my name was being drug through the mud "unofficially," that don't worry about being sued. When I was done dragging JW's through the mud, it would just make it impossible for them to accomplish their ministry in their area.
They haven't bothered me since --"officially" or otherwise.
$hit don't stink unless you stir it.

this last tuesday was one of the most stressful and sad days of our life when we had our lab morgan put to sleep.
she was so sick and out of it we just had to do it.
when i called the spca on monday to make a appointment to have her put to sleep i felt like i betrayed her.
Stadd.... so sorry to hear this. We have lost many over the years. Our dog was 19 when we finally had to do what you did. Probably we waited a year too long. Rare time I seen my JW dad cry.
We have a LOT of cats now, one from a rescue,the rest we rescued ourself. We love them all.
Cats are more loyal than ANY JW. Peace to your family.

there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.
what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.
since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.
Exit strategy to...NOT heaven, but.....THE CAYMAN ISLANDS. LOL

i often wondered over the years what happened to a lot of the old posters from this group.
going back to the late 1990s a few of the names i recall...blacksheep, gypsywildcactus (i know she's ok as we're friends on facebook still), onacruise, minimus, veniceit, flower, prisca, bendrr, refinersfire, kent, englishman, shit...dare i say it evilforce lol, snittlesnacks (what a twat), scully, mouthy, talesin from nova scotia, xenawarrior.
littletom (from glasgow in scotland), outlaw, goaty, bisous, uncle brucey (australian character who loved his wildkife photography) - struggling now to remember more names.i know there are many more.
I started on here around 2007, though I lurked before that as an elder.
I met Dagney and Uzzah at an Apostafest in Toronto, what was that, 2008, along with others from here. (What happened to Eclipse)?
Anyone remember the Werewolf games we used to play here? Completely UN JW related, but fun. I still have feiends IRL because of that.
The Silence is still a friend, ***waves**** though I haven't talked to her in awhile. Ironic since we live and work near each other, (on certain routes at work, I think I pass her neighborhood). Indirectly, I have her to thank for meeting my wife. She knows. lol.
My life has changed so much due to this place. If not for Simon and JWN/JWD, I wonder if I would have left TheBorg.

i ask because my mother went and, of course, it was great!
what was the attendance?
how many got baptized?
Lett.... I despise that futher mucker. That pic of him gives me the eebie jeebies.
He gave the graduation talk at my MTS graduation in 2002. Fluck him. Screwed me over. I wrote about the $hit he pulled on me somewhere on here. Too tired to pull it up on this cantankerous tablet.

Did i mention he is a douche in person?
the following letter was read in the congregation today.
it's for all the congregations in india.
i have pasted it as it was.
I wonder about a Tamil congregation in Chennai. I almost married a sister from there. She was a dentist.
Thankfully in retrospect, when I got there, she quickly ditched me. I still hope she and her daughter are well. Her daughter is about my son's age or a little younger....hopefully made the decision to leave the cult.
Not good at the time, but less than a year later I was free of the cult. Now I have a wonderful Catholic wife. LOL
