we haven't had any problem since and our friends in the old hall do not know we are inactive, they think we still go to meetings.. we moved for various reasons but both of us were unhappy with what was going on in the congregation.

Truthseeker, what normally happens is, you get the address of the secretary in the new hall and give it to the secretary of your old hall. Then they send the cards along with "a letter of introduction" basically telling the new hall your status, how you were "used" and if there are any problems. All of course to help them serve you better!

A big one for me was "free will". I was raised hearing...what a loving god, creating us with free will to allow us to make up our own minds....how loving! I always though....we have free will but are forbidden to exercise it. If we chose not to serve, certain destruction. Which in turn made me think, what an egotistical god.

i don't think i met one jw who can name the governing body ... which is strange since they basically surrender their conscience to them.

.

could you (without cheating) name each member of the governing body?.

i think the whole thing puts teachers and care providers in a very difficult position. Sounds like the day care worker got a little fed up, although she /he could have worded it much much better. But I remember growing up and being in school. My teachers were constantly put in the position of making excuses for me to the other kids. I had no idea why i couldn't do many of the things the other kids were doing, like the little girl, I was scared of being punished. I had no idea why.
