Would You Go Back?

by Dune in

yesterday, my aunt was talking to one of my siblings about how things have been changing in our [ex] congregation for the 'better'.. she mentioned how a new circuit overseer has come in and is shaking things up.

the co appointed a ministerial servant (someone, the po & secretary didn't like and i know would never have voluntarily suggested appointment) and some of the 'brothers' that have had no 'responsibility' ever are being given #4 talks.

she also mentioned that the book study will be cancelled and the meetings are being shortened.. a ministerial servant who had a vendetta against some of the elders wants me to talk to a co and basically tell him i left the congregation [and the religion] because of the incompetence of the elders.. i'm not talking to the co and i'm not 'blaming' anyone.

How Do JWs Treat You NOW?

by minimus in

if a witness sees you, will they acknowledge you, ignore you, be nice to you, or treat you as dead?

mind my own

Even though I haven't been DF'd or DA'd myself they treat me as if I am not even there. I would say 95% of them wouldn't speak to me if the situation presented itself. Although one or two have tried to add me as friends on Facebook. I declined. I don't have time for their sh!t, plus they are probably just trying to find some dirt on me...

I'm pretty good Mr. Flipper, thanks for asking. Just got my business up and running and I'm getting pretty busy so I am thankful for that!! A little worried about it too though...it's taxing on a relationship when your this stressed out...but I wouldn't change where I am for anything!

i wasjust really curious to see what the average of everyone's "history" is here, and also how many "higer ups" we have that have abandoned the ways.

so what were you, an elder?

a pioneer?

mind my own

I was a regular pioneer and looking to serve "where the need is great". Seriously, puke!

at a recent dc, an elderly sister was interviewed.

she recounted how she endured through many years of her husband's opposition, never giving up, until finally he relented.

eventually, he bacame baptized and joined her in the full-time pioneer work.. end of experience.

I know my brother has been in assemblies in recent years while living a double life. I thought Jeh's holey spirit could detect when something was not right in a cong. I guess not b/c my brother was always being glorified for his outstanding service blah blah blah. If only they knew!
