announ ce it in a comment, that way everyone there will know why you are departing, and there can't be any misconceptions about it. although some will still gossip and say things. And announcing yourself in a comment will rob the elder body of saying that you are not one of the jdubs any more and leave it to peoples imagination as to why and of course they will think you did something wrong and had to be dismissed. It will never occur to any of them that you can no longer stomach the lies and decption and the wanting of worship for the GB.

Going out with a collective bang?
by slimboyfat ini've been thinking recently that i should just disassociate from the jws and be done with it.
i've been straggling along for over ten years now without believing it so it's probably about time i made a clean break and moved on.. but i really detest the fact that the announcement at the kingdom hall no longer makes any distinction between those who are disfellowshipped and those who disassociate themselves.
what a sleekit way for the organization to disguise the fact that many people choose to leave of their own accord rather than being thrown out for supposed wrongdoing.

I believe it like Christs supposed invisible coming in 1874 er 1914 or whenever it's invisible and like that they do their house to house invisibly. Count your blessings with them coming less and less or as it seems in my neighborhood not at all thats one of those invisible blessings. Really it must be like the supposed love in the congregation H-H doesn't really exist.

Being old is subjective, I have grand babies however, my youngest is 4 months, had remarried and wife is 28, and younger than 4 of my children, work out daily with free weights and do the p90 x program. 6 days a week in addition to the weights. Feel 20 too so all is good here. My oldest is 40 and all my grand children are older than my youngest may be old in years but definitely young in actions and thoughts.

Why bother if they really gave a shit, they would have been back years ago, did they come? No they blow them off they don't really care they are just something they were told to do, so tell them to bugger off. If you let them come why be polite, they incompetent, dont do the job they are suppose to do, don't let them use you. And they will probably be counting time when they come and see you, if you must see them, tell them to come dressed as normal people do, cause if them come suited up they are counting their time and are probably there for nefarious reasons.

I agree with finallyawake churches should pay taxes, nothing in the constitution about them having a special classification and free from all responsibility of paying taxes, they should also be paying taxes on all monies invested etc. I for one am tired of their free ride. The WTBTS is nothing more than a business hidden by a cloak of religisosity and they prey on people and familes. They have absolutely no programs to help the poor, sick, and needy although they do have an agenda to protect peds and not the victims.

I had a goatee for some time never did shave, now don't even attend the brainwashing sessions. but no one ever said anything anyway, guess I didn't give a s**t one way or the other what they thought, i was happy with it and wore it and still do.
