And won't you all be surprised one day to hear WT announce that Armageddon is over. It came and went and you didn't even notice. All the gory stories were only metaphorical. It didn't go down the way the pictures painted it. So you were looking in the wrong direction---and you missed it.

Elder groupies
by cameo-d inany of you that are elders or ex-elders.... did you ever have certain people in your cong that would call you at home very often with trivial or constant questions concerning "what should i do"?
did you feel that your position actually served a useful purpose for people who could not think or reason for themselves?.
did you often give up time with your own family in order to be available to these constant groupies calling for advice?.

Cantleave: "The issue would be, which one of the corporations are you CONTRACTED to. The terminology used in the baptismal question is "God's spirit directed organisation" which legally means nothing at all, as none of the legal corporation is called "God's Spirit Directed Organisation".."
It is not necessary to articulate that detail. The wording in your notice could "include all of it's affiliates" and that should cover the whole gamut of sleazy covers.
Cantleave:"You will never get any formal recognition of a letter of DA, Ray Franz didn't even get copies of the tapes he was PROMISED, so it is no surprise that no acknowledgment of a DA letter will be given."
You don't need any response or recognition from them. You are not raising your hand and asking for their permission to leave. You are taking back your power. In essence, you have granted them your power of attorney to control all matters in your life. By your contract, you have asked them to direct and style your life for you because you are not capable. That's what it amounts to. By contracting with them you have agreed that they know what is best for you.
You are not asking anything from them. You do not need a response or acknowledgement. You will have a receipt from mailing a registered or certified letter and you will have a copy of the legal notice recorded with your county clerks office. Or run it in newspaper for specified period of time. That is your proof that you have severed your ties and taken your power of attorney from them.
Every church/religion has Officers that are given Power of Attorney over the congregation. Until you DA by legal severance, you are probably just considered as "inactive" which places you in a lukewarm position.
Cantleave: The way I see it there is no point playing their game. At the end of the day noone else cares because all most people will see it as if that you are resigning from or being expelled from a club.
Then again when I see some of the stuff on this board, it's no wonder many of these people give their common sense away and ask the WT to think for them. Grown adults still asking questions like: Can I have sex? When can I have sex? How long should it last? Which positions are permissible for me? What should I eat for lunch? What am I allowed to have?
Many of these people, though grown adults, still do not know how to think for themselves or reason. I bet some JWs call the elders three times a week for stupid questions and asking permission.
I have come to the conclusion that the organization is actually a necessary evil in society...just because there are people who need guidance on what kind of TP to buy and what should they do with their life because they don't have a clue why they are here.
Anyone who doesn't fit into the mold of needing someone to arrange and direct their life, then get out. Anyone who is still raising their hand and asking permission and is over 30 then they are most probably a lost cause.

The Word: Earth Created by Sound Waves
by cameo-d inthe bible metaphorically tells us that the earth (universe, and other worlds) were spoken into existence.
"god said" and then, so it was.. whatever our creator is, it generates a frequency.
making sound waves visible is called cymatics.

What 69 said.
If you feel the need to ask permission to have sex from a public discussion board.....you got a long way to go.
Do the girl a favor and get out of her life.

Cantleave.....I do understand that. Very well. I am mulling some ideas over as to how to accomplish this without that sort of backlash if possible. Maybe I will return in a few days with some ideas.
Part of my concern here is that even those who have sent a DA have never received acknowledgement from the WT that they have been emancipated. Their letters have not been acknowledged. A legal notice, even if not acknowledged by them, can also be filed at the courthouse, or published in a newspaper. Then, you ARE legally free. I believe all of you are CONTRACTED to a CORPORATION. I once saw where the WT corporation was licensed through a state insurance commissioner. The sooner there is legal action, then others on up the line will also have to answer for their actions in this deception.

AGuest: "Unfortunately, I recently learned that I may "hijack" threads (and may have done so here, I'm afraid - ARGGHHH!!!
Actually, you have taken the subject way off course by focusing on your own pretensious self. And when I thought there might be some apology for your bad behavior, you suddenly end with a proclamation of your take-over with the "otherwise, "my thread"" bit.
If it has only been recently that you have realized that to barge in and take over subject matter and twist it to focus on your own Almighty Dear Divine Self and that it is termed "hijacking" , then I hope that in the future you can use this knowledge for self improvement. If so, then this thread will not have been a complete waste.
