Here is more about him:

joined this forum very recently, and have already posted some comments in reply to given threads.

You may want to know that
- I am living in the E.U. s
- I was raised as a JW since the age of 2
- Baptized when I was 12
- Now I am over 60
- Typical JW family, all “in the truth”, wife, kids and their mates, as well as all my bros and my wife’s very large family
- None of us ever disfellowshiped or dissociated
- I have been an elder for almost 30 years, presiding overseer, circuit assl. overseer for years, elder’s school teacher, and a lot of other assignements
- Always been a leader in the area, opening up new congregations, participating to meetings in different congregations and languages
- Until … realized that this was not God’s organization.
- Left with the whole family a few years ago
- Finally free from the mind control system and trying to do what we have not been able to do the whole of our life

Here is his bio:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/member/28634

Biography: Raised in a JW family from the age of 2. Baptized too young to understand fully what it meant.....[as many of you], never df'd .
Have served 30 years or so as an elder and opened up several congregations. Resigned several years ago.
Now....Happily married with three grown-up children. We all left the org a few years ago. We can finally think for ourselves, without any dictates from an org., and use our own mind. Can live happily without any religion, no need to seek for a god, nor to rely on an org to dictate what is an acceptable behavior, but with high morality standards and love for the others. Eager to share my experience and maybe even my opinions with the rest of you, without any judgments.

all the witlesses that go to them have to sign a paper (a no-confidentiality paper)!

You think that this would actually hold up in court?

Thank-you for posting this research lady.

The pre-show starts at 6:30 p.m.EST and the Six Screens of the Watchtower starts at 7 p.m. EST.

What is the "pre-show" all about?

I have been SERIOUSLY dissed yesterday!

by AK - Jeff in

i don't even know if 'dissed' is a word still in use these days.

but it fits in this case.. we just rolled in from vacation, got our first mail delivery since getting back yesterday.

in the stack of mail was an envelope with a card.

cognac

I would send them a card from only you and not your wife that simply says: "By this, all will know you are my discipes, if you have love among yourselves."
