I was quite livid when they DF'ed me. I had totally disappeared for 2 years- even moving 30 miles away. Never went to a mtg or talked to any witnesses in 2 years. I decided to send my old BOE a letter letting them know that my ex had grounds to remarry. I figured I had been gone long enough and was not a threat to anyone in that old hall 30 miles away. When I refused a judicial meeting they DF'ed me. Who were they protecting?
i was thinking this could be a totaly self indulgent no holes barred wish list.. so tell us, or just " santa" what do you really want for christmas?.

first article "do not deceive yourselves with false reasonings" ... does a good job at blaming the individual witness for losing a sense of urgency ... surely the organization has no culpability for this.. the bible also warns about the danger of deceiving ourselves with false reasoning.'-jas.1:22..

My 95 year old grandmother (who surely is at the end of her life) - was born and raised in the TROOF. She has spent the last 34,675 days believing and living by those very words.
a few of my friends who also used to be jw's, say they miss certain things abt it...i can honestly say that i don't miss a single thing (my sister obviously who's still in but nothing else).. before i could sometimes miss having such a strong belief but that's also gone.
