Very well written letter...unfortuntely, I think LWT is correct that the letter will fall on deaf ears, and be considered an apostate attack orchestrated by Satan himself.
I noticed you mention Richard and the kids...I assume Richard is your husband? If so, is he still a JW?...how does he feel about your letter? Good luck as you move forward with your life...I hope you nejoy your new freedom with the minimum of pain.
can be mushy ... .
or can be craaazyyy ... .
okay, i'll start :).
Sorry to post this again (was posted in another thread earlier), but it is a wonderful reminder of what growing up with a "real" Dad is all about!
one of my favorites .

Classic Alan Jackson!
what is the currnent thought on this?
is the bethelite definition different now from the one in the congregations?.
i'm wondering because my bethelite brother suddenly was cold/ stopped talking to me a couple of years ago - after years of communication.
I agree with J.Hofer...not apostate, but definitely an "opposer".
i like.
"the divine endurance of boring talks" da.
"why jehovah the god of love...can't wait to kill most everybody" da .
I would call it the:
"Here We Go Again" District Convention
my hdtv sits just feet behind the wall that houses my computer.
i have a g-router for my laptops in the house.. i thought of running hdmi interface to my tv, but alas no hdmi outport on my computer.
i used to use a laptop with vga, so considered doing the same with my desktop, but alas no vga port on my desktop computer.
I have used both Roku, Wii and now my Sony BluRay wifi player...they all work well, but I have found the BluRay to be convenient and does a nice job with HD streaming. The key is to have a very fast internet connection, since that seems to make the most difference on quality delivery of the service.
i just happened upon one of his posts, and i realized i hadn't seen him post in over a year.
i really enjoyed his insightful comments and scholarly knowledge.
he and leolaia could always contribute to those difficult biblical questions that really required a knowledge of the languages and history of biblical times.
Glad to hear all is well with you Narkissos!
As I mentioned, I have missed your insightful comments...even if you aren't going to be a "regular" poster, we would love to see you pop in every once in a while to check in. Take care!!
TYA
the wts.
has been coming up with different sayings to imply that armageddon is just around the corner.. so i thought it would be fun to make up are own sayings and see what we come up with.. i'll start off...... the train is just about to pull into the station.. that egg is just about to hatch .
the weather forecast for today is death and destruction .
It's just around the corner...provided the corner was on the other side of the earth, and I was crawling to it on my hands and knees!
a point in another thread about the organization being directed by holy spirit made me think of this question.. is there a single teaching from the start of the witnesses that remains unchanged to this day?.
i've spent a few minutes and haven't come up with a single current teaching that hasn't been altered somehow.. - initially there wasn't a paradise earth, all were going to heaven.
- door to door was more public protests.
Immortality of the soul

JWFacts, if you still have his e-mail, it would be great if you could pass on to him that he is missed and we would love to see him make the occasional comment.
Moving on is an important part of growth, but I would love to hear from him once in a while on here. He really helped me with a couple of questions when I first started posting. I wish him the best in whatever he is doing now.
