  I'm experimenting photobucket, which I 'm not familiar with.

  For some reason the big picture is getting blurred

  I've roamed in the past on a few other XJW sites but none comes even near to JWD/N. Thanks Simon and to all posters who have added their contributions to this most cathartic center.

  Was living in East Montreal ( Rachel/St Hubert) in the mid 70s, does that count ? loved that time, I would spend week-ends at Lac des chats, St Sauveur des Monts. Shall I ever see Quebec again, Cââââline ?

  some may remember, i wrote on an other thread that elders forbade me to give comments at the wt meeting, as i weaken the brothers' faith.

  i wasn't satisfied with this outcome and, 10 days ago i sat with my wife on the front part of the kh (like in many khs, attendants pack on the back seats), in the middle of the row, right in front of the wt elder, and raised my hand insistently.

  i was of course openly ignored but i didn't care, all that i wanted was verybody to see how they deal with independent members.

  Hemp, Oompa, here is one, I see if I can find some more. Nothing original really but we have a few ignorant elders who fear what they don't understand

  Just to add that the whole exit process was very much like a game (I liked Chickpea's swordplay comparison) since there was no vital or even serious issue at stake like family shunning. Unfortunately it has not been (or is) so easy for many of those on here.

  If they do threaten to DF you then you might want to let them know that if any announcement is made regarding a change in your status as a JW you will take them to court.

  Thanks for the advice, lady Lee, I heard the case was judged in Belgium, not long ago. That may explain why they are so cautious now, they may have received instructions to that effect from their headquarters.

  Gary, the reason why I take it lightly is that this organization never really harmed me. My wife and I talked frankly about the situation, she's miles away from dogmatism. I will be glad to take her to the hall by car and collect her, unless she prefers to go by herself and chat with her friends. We take it cool because we have always kept nosy elders and JWs at arm length. However, I understand very well that other JWs get out with a lot of bitterness, due to having had their education chances chattered by JW fanatism, or young sisters having been kept in forced celibacy, etc. I'm glad I kept my children out, just hope they won't misbehave. Not two personal situations are alike, pas vrai Narkissos ?

  Andersonsinfo question: Who wrote them?

  since you have taken so much time in answering questions and commenting, i ask one more question:.

  could you elaborate on who wrote certain books and brochures etc.?

  i know you have written about articles you have contributed to, and also that coc lists the authors of some of the books, but do you remember at least some authors of some books / brochures / special articles?.

  Most sincere condolences to HillaryStep for the loss of his wife.

  Bonsoir Narkissos, so you knew Bro. Leonard ? He looked like a decent man, quite british in his manners. I remember one of his talks at Colombes, about Micah 2:12. He must be dead by now I suppose.

  Such behaviours on the part of Elders are not only questionable, very callous

  I wonder how much they realized that I controlled the whole thing, they played right into my hands with their ignoring me at the WT meeting, etc.

  In fact I don't intend to DA, I even told them that I don't want to be DFed because I want to retain the right to say hello and have a chat with the JWs I come across in the street. Mind, that answer might be enough to be DFed, LOL.
