Hello ALBERT
how are you? and Mrs. Einstein and the kids? Do you know about the big changes in our
branch? We're closing the printery and some bethelites reassigned to the
field. I'm one of them. I will be leaving Bethel ........., 2010. That's a
big change, but I'm not too sad, it will be a nice opportunity to use my
experience at Bethel for the congregation, I'm planning to move abroad. I
was thinking about going to ................, there are some small congregations.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Take care, ................

I was wondering what to answer to seed at least some thoughts in his mind and still not to insult him. So here is my answer.
Feel free to comment on that:

Dear .......,
Mrs. Einstein and me were very glad to receive your mail, although we were not
happy about the sad news.
Yes, I have read about the changes in italian branch on the internet some
time ago. We also heard spanish Bethel should be downsized as well,
as well as the headquarters in Broklyn are being sold step by step and
US branch being moved to Walkill, Patterson and the new location in
Ramapo. Sale of several assembly halls (Sweden, Denmark ...)is done
or on the way...
I must admit this troubles us, since we were taught we are just "months
- not years" (as stated in our publications) from Armageddon and Jehovah
is supposed to "speed up" the work in the last days.
I belive there is an explanation to whats happening and we must seek
the answers...
However we were happy to hear about your plans to move to ........! ......... is a great country, I was there once and I loved it!
........, you are a great guy, we are sure wherever you go and whatever
you do, you will be happy and you will live a great live. We will be
very happy if you could come over to visit us. If it is possible, just
let us know!
Thanks for the nice picture of your family! Its great to have a family
and good relationships within the family.
How is .....and all the other guys doing? Please give our hugs to them!
We wish you joy a lots of strenght in these days!

(What do I win???)
my family were all catholics.
i think i would've been one simply because i was raised in it and even if i didn't agree with everything, i would still be able to talk to my friends and family.. i would think i'd be a catholic in name only.
"religion" doesn't get me excited..
A cosmic pantheist like Albert Einstein or Carl Sagan
Villabolo, did you mean me, or my grandpa????

Hopefully none.
In my country (czech) everybody is an atheist and being member of any religion makes you look weird. (Just me - complete idiot - wanted to be something special, when I was a teenager, so I joined the only true religion...)

recently sooner7nc raised up a question "do i bring anything of worth to this board?".
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/183642/1/do-i-bring-anything-of-worth-to-this-board.
first of all: hugs sooner.... it made me think for a while about feelings we have to deal with in our lives.... how do i see it?.

It made me think for a while about feelings we have to deal with in our lives...
How do I see it?
Is it not WTBS who wanted us to believe "we have to do something extraordinary to be worth of love, apreciacion, attention"? We had to be pioneers, elders, servants, to comment twice at each meeting, to do this and that to deserve attention an apreciacion... and if you dont, you are weak, not worth of anything nice. How many times did we hear "Sure, even some members of the congregation will not survive Armageddon...!!!" (Translaton: Fear and feel guilty you damned bastards!)
THIS IS OVER sooner 7nc (and anybody else who feels this way..) !
Nobody is judging you and nobody is comparing you to somebody else. Everybody here is special and very important friend. Everybody here is helping to find freedom to those who are traped in a dangerous cult. It is not about deep comments, Its about you, who found the way out of the cult. Just by being and posting here you show to others that it is possible to escape WT and to build your own life.
Before I came here I was figuring out what to do (one feet out of WT..) for several years. After reading your stories and posts I realized what I really want to do with my life and today so many things have changed. Now Iam ou and first time after 18 years I feel free, life is so different, I teach the real truth my son and even my wife (raised up in an ultra hardcore JW family) is making incredible progress....
The big change came after comming here and being able to know you, to talk to you and to share ideas and feelings with you...!
Its also thanks to you, sooner7nc!
Albert
Mouthy thanks for your prayer! Sure it will help! How are you doing? Remember you wrote some time ago about your health issues... Are you getting better?
Newborn: I am Czech. BTW I was in Sweden for a busines trip years ago - it was to Goteborg (Molnlycke company).
Iam sure its cold up there today... Its zero celsius here...
