  have a local needs on apostasy, have everyone shun you, have no shepherding calls since you left for over a year, and now a jc tomorrow evening????????.

  spoke to branch committee as well as co and they said to go and if we were treated unfairly then to call the co. don't get it.

  the co would have known about the local needs talk on apostasy and says if we were treated unfairly to call him.

  Label, Something that happened to me that sounds familer.

  In 4 years we have had a visit twice, never were formal, both were before the CO visit.

  Both times were showing up on a Sat unannounced. No prior phone call.

  Both times we had a short small-talk discussion. Both times my wife said we were going to meetings at another congreations. (not true)

  Yet, these same elders keep telling my family that I am rejecting their help and refusing to meet with them.

  i think my mother has lost it.

  i really do and i am in fear that she is literally losing touch with reality to some degree.. even my father is telling me that her responses to me are growing weirded:.

  the scriptures tell us that we can be wrathful.......but don't sin.

  someone else owned the house. She said that is not the same as a personal item

  Sounds like something my dad would say. He has burned furniture before, but never any of the expensive antiques he collected.

  I think that If I were your age and still in school I would try to stay and help others. I felt I had to leave rather abrutly since I had a child and did not want him exposed to it.

  I think being calm and rational, formulating a long term exit plan and a path to help your brother would be in your best interest. It sounds to me that if you leap too soon the emoational upheavel my be too much.

  I'm sure by now you have read many experinces on this message board. Many are bad, but some are good.

  I think in partucular I read the reddit message board where there are lagre percentage of younger people, the common advice is to finish school, use the time to make outside friends and have a place to land when you leave.

  Apostate: From 279 Facebook friends to 81 overnight... thanks MOM!

  the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".

  my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.

  don't you just love this international brotherhood.

  2013 District Convention God's Word Is Truth MP3 is ready!

  alright.

  so i got a sendspace and uploaded the whole thing except for the songs and morning music.. the link to all the mp3's is here!

  for some reason it starts with the last talk first but they're all numbered and titled according to the convention so it should'nt be too hard i hope.. do with them what you please, upload them to youtube, send them to friends & family, or just see how far you can stomach some of the "fine spiritual food that the faithful and discreet slave has prepared for us this year".. some key talks you might wanna listen to are 12 symposium: the truth sets us free, 16 believe inspired truth, not inspired error, 20 symposium: reject what is false!
