just to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.

so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.

i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

today i went in field service with my best friends, a married couple.

they visited me when i was a co in another area, and when i was in bethel.

they call me all the time, they have helped me with different matters, they just really try to do what they understand is right.

i am serving in an appointed position.

Will the Organization fall apart?
by BonaFide in
1. jw
2. friends
major changes in meetings, the weird drama this year, and just people reading on the internet, are causing a lot to leave the organization, or just fade.

is it possible that, just like a house of cards, the whole thing will fall apart soon?

i mean, this may be wishful thinking, but is it possible that people will start to dissassociate themselves in bigger numbers, then groups and families will do so, then bigger and bigger groups of friends will do it, and then people who hear about this will check on the internet and then do the same thing, then congregations have to be dissolved and merged, then the talks start getting meaner, and that makes even more people quit, then thousands start to leave.. possible?.
