  "Do not destroy" your file after reinstatement ...

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  karl adams, writing department overseer, wrote a letter to president knorr (november 18, 1971), questioning the keeping of voluminous files containing embarrassing information on disfellowshipped persons.

  even after individuals were reinstated, their files were retained:.

  "at the present time the names of even those reinstated are kept in the file, and bulky records are kept of their cases, labeled 'do no destroy.

  Renaii,

  Not sure if I'm understanding your post correctly?

  I would say, I never gave them permission to even 'retain' information regarding any judicial matter about me in the first place.

  So are we saying here that this cult's head quarters will have on record the judicial meeting that took place with me when I was only 14 years old???

  Disassociated myself by letter in Feb 07. IMO I took away their control over my life and, by my actions, made it very clear that they no longer had a hold over me.

  Never been happier.

  AA..Ding Dong round 2

  i have posted on here previously about my problems with alcoholism and the fact that i have attended aa meetings so i thought i would start a thread to post where i am at now.. i first attended at the beginning of january and went 7 weeks without a drink, i then had a weekend away and got drunk.

  i then went another 7 weeks until my birthday (april 19).

  since then i have felt that i could control my drinking within the confines of a local program.. this however hasn't really worked for me, i find that i do not really enjoy going out drinking and trying to pace myself.

  D/Doo,

  your post has touched a nerve with me. I too have a problem that I have spoken openly about on this site.

  Your comments about how aliive you feel when sobre are so true. Any how I've managed to stay off the drink now for 5 weeks (today), and am waiting to start with the ant-abuse medication, hope fully in the next two weeks.

  Have to say I'm feeling really positive, and managing to stay off just fine at the moment, but I pretty certain that in the short/ long term the meds wil help.

  I'll keep all my JWD friend up to date with progres, but like you, I have valued being able to come here and recieve support.

  (thanks every one)

  I agree, the two finalists were worthy, and both very talented.

  I was really pleased that two dance acts got through to the final two, and god, they were both so good.

  Personally I would ave liked to see signature win, but hey no matter.

  And yes,

  God save the Queen / Rule Brittania and all that!!!

  my da announcement was last tuesday, so i have been on the official jw shun list for about a week now.... i am curious how you handle shunning.my situation:.

  i have spoken with my family (my parents and 1 brother) and discussed whether they will shun me.

  i explained that biblically they should not shun me since i am not an antichrist, and i have not rejected the teaching that jesus cam in the flesh.

  Just after DA'd I was in the loacl supermarket with my daughter and walked past a dub family I had known all my life. I swear they walked a 'semi-cirlce' around me... maybe they thought I was infectious or somthing!

  My teenage daughter birst out laughing, she though their behaviour was pathetic!

  Honestly, they don't bother me, and I feel sorry for them, that theyre so brainwashed.

  The shunning from my mother, thats slightly more complicated. I know her faith is really important to her, and I would never try to change that, I respect that this is how she feels and that the religion is what she believes, but to abandon your daughter and grandchildren, sell up and move house without even saying goodbye, well that has made me one angry person.

  I love my mother, I always will, but what she has done is unforgivable, and there is no going back from that choice she made. I wan't ever let her hurt my children or myself like that again.

  yes, we were a 'relief' home when the other home wasn't available. I never liked it, and always felt as if I was being scrutinized , and whether my kids and home were good enough. shell
