I am glad the forum was so well represented.
Our thoughts are with Mario & Marina.

I went to the memorial service for Talia Balletti.
by hubert ini sent a pm to one of the forum assistants telling him this, and he said i should post and let everyone know how it went.. i didn't want to do this until mario posted first, because it's about his daughter, not mine.
but, i know all you wonderful people out there are waiting for some news on the memorial service, and i think mario is too grief stricken to be able to write right now.
sometimes these things hit you harder after it's all over, because now you have more time to think about it.

Another Elder Called My Mom To Find Out About Us.....
by minimus inhe called for her "time" and then began asking questions.
he wanted to know where my daughter lived, what her married last name was now, how the family was doing, etc.
he asked her if she thought my not attending anymore had to do with the fact that i had a business and now i'm "materialistic".

.....and i'm out....
by red so deep inwell, after a 4.5 hour long judicial meeting with my local elders i found out i'll be df'ed here in about a week and a half.
i don't think it was so much my offense (smoking ciggs and weed) but my attitude.
the elders were trying to draw out some repentance, but i was pretty straightforward about the politics and hypocrisy in the org, especially in the case of the neighboring congregations elder body, who seem to be on a witch hunt for me and my friends....when one of the elders asked my how i felt my actions affected jehovah, i brought out that example in the old testament where the boys were making fun of the bald priest or prophet, then he got pissed and called down evil on them *in the name of jehovah* and the she-bears devoured the poor kids.

Good for you!
If you get a good education, you will show them by having a great life & not becoming a fulfilment of their "prophecies" of what happens when you leave. Remember, living well IS the best revenge!

I always get thet "chinese character" message on here too.
I would start by tape recording these conversations, keep a log of them, & look into how to trace them & file a police report then. That would be a start.

we just renounced our belief in the wtbts 2 hors ago,but still love jehovah
by ko38 inafter reading ray franzs 2 books and much information on this site we did a search comparing wt qoutes and had a local elder soon to be circuit ovsr at our house and the funny thing was he was unaware of much of the early wts.he also expressed some doubts when he applied to be a ministerial servant and they sent him back a letter making him an elder.his wife was here and when we brought coc out she jumped up like a person on fire.
the elder asked where else could we go?so there is doubt amoung the elders for sure.
i have a sense of loss however cannot support a self proclaimed prophet that is contrary to scriptural teaching and associated with falsehood and bloodguilt.

Advice needed
by jt stumbler ini'm a person who is too hard on myself and i care too much about what people say about me.
how do i explain to the "home congregation friends" on the next "shepherding call" that i have begun to research the "society",and i'm having second thoughts about what i have been taught all these years?
i'm really fearfull of becoming shunned, but i guess i already am.
