  i'm new to this forum and am also sacolton's wife.

  alot of you already know about me because he's talked about me on here before...even has posted pictures, at which he incurred my wrath upon my discovery.

  anyways...i'm about to submit my letter of disassociation to my local congregation and i thought i would share it.

  Seriously, how could anyone but a complete TOOL of the Crotchwatcher Drivel and Crap Society not read that and die laughing.

  so we have all seen the yearbook or the wt with the yearly statistics.. when i became a c.o., at my first meeting with the other c.o.

  's at the branch, i was handed a piece of paper with statistics on it for that past year, both of the circuit i was assigned to serve, and the total stats in the country.. here are the stats that the branch keeps track of:.

  publishers, congregations, bible studies, baptized, memorial attendance, pioneers, aux pios, etc.

  They told us that a circuit's spirituality can be measured by its contributions to Jehovah.

  When people are not happy, they don't give. An oppressed people is an unhappy people. Controlling their personal contributions is one of the few powers the r&f have left.

  this thread was inspired by my listening to the band mastodon lately.

  i just find their drummer brann dailor amazing.

  other drummers who have impressed me in the past have been jimmy chamberlin of smashing pumpkins and dave grohl of nirvana.

  Before someone gets baptized as a JW, they must submit a written resignation letter to their previous church/faith, informing them that they no longer wish to be part of their religion or on their membership rolls, and that they please remove any record as such.

  It's my experience that the churches want you to do this also. It doesn't look good for their statistics to have members on the rolls who will never be counted in attendance.

  Anyone claiming to write and speak English should just accept that the English get to decide what is right and what isn't.

  Alright, Simon, but how am I going to get used to saying Jehover? Any idears?

  I was on the virge of suicide because of my marriage and depression over the things I was seeing in this org. It is such a bigger world than we ever knew.

  That sounds just like me, awildflower. Glad we made it out. Welcome to the board.

  Yes, Blithe, in my hometown, we ate erbs, but washed our hair in herbal essence. For some reason, dropping that h in the shampoo was looked upon as being uppity.
