Tonight I disassociated myself - after 24 years - had 2 hour meeting with Elder

i am now sitting at home.

my wife left with my little child.

my fault (i dislike the word "fault", but don't have a better one right now).. it feels strange, relieved and free, at the same time it was all very strange.

Intel:
What is your next move regarding your daughter? Did you own your home - share a mortgage, are you legally separated or will be??
Has your wife contacted you yet? Priority would be to visit a lawyer and find out what your plan of action would be- after you speak with your wife that is, to find out what is going on in her head - as many will counsel her on how she is to deal with you trying to convince you to return - failing that, it will be all out war, with your wife in the middle and her trying to please the relatives... especially since you have most of your family in. This freedom has just begun. for you .. there will be twists in the road to make you feel guilty.. hateful to even think that way, but life is what it is..
Now that you have had a few days to think, perhaps this has already occured to you. At first, the elation of freedom is a great feeling, then reality sets in with a wife and child and home to deal with
All the best in your quest for a new life

Alert: Witch hunt begins Watchtower 15 july 2011

reading the posts about the 2011-7-15 watchtower about mentally retarded apostates i foresee the following scenario:.

1. congregational elders trying to get grip on non regular publishers and inactive witnesses.. 2. the good ones read in the watchtower that apostates are to find in the local congregation.

3. inactives like me (i hate this name, but i use their language), and liberal witness like me, will be hunted, .

Yes it was presented in the saturday afternoon in the symposium- Enemies of the Kingdom - apostates.. indicating they all rose out of the congregation and elders were cast in the spotlight - as to why did they want to serve, pride causing division, etc... congregation was asked to mark those who they thought were becoming apostate as they were dividing the congregation and causing others to follow them.. so the WT will be covering these aspects in the meeting I would suppose, I havent read it

only one is a guy...a mini serve .

one is a reg pioneer.... all are actually pretty key to my biz....three have been there over 20 years (ya...i am a great boss!!!).

how much pressure are they going to get to quit working for me???.

Oompa - good your back on board -- hope you are feeling ok now?
Well, I do know of a JW couple who do work for a df's boss - the kicker is that he has a supervisor who deals with them and he does not deal with them directly. all information is passed to the supervisor, manager, whatever, and he/she directs them as to what has to be done for the company
This could buy you much needed time OR they will stay as they do not have to deal with your directly.. rather than the folks leaving, they may settle for this and their conscience will not be "seared"
Just a thought -

Sab:
As I am looking at this site, it seems so much like the WT language... the scriptures they quote seem to be like the NWT speak..
I wonder if they are putting out this information ...they have great libraries, why not put all this info in one place and make some money doing it as they want $12.00 per dvd....

Has there been any recent counsel or articles advising JW's to avoid associating with 'inactives'?

i ask because over the last few weeks i've noticed a marked 'cooling off' from my brother and sisters.

i don't think i'm being paranoid - has anything specific been printed lately?

bloody faith!.

So the apostates are "mentally diseased" and now those who take the emblems must look inward as some too may be "mentally diseased" - what a crock!!! Damned if you do and damned if you don't...
