I've been burnt like this many times. Just when you think you are able to share TTATT points with someone they end up blabbing to the elders and it turns into an inquisition where you have to "apologize that you'd been misunderstood". How many times can this happen? As many times as you try and try and try again to open someone's eyes and they're not ready to waken up yet from the CULT! Yup it's a cult! And yep, they're brainwashed. And I'm thankful I was able to wake up from it thanks in part to the insensitivity and the grandstanding by CO Scott Henry and his Daddy.

Write the BOE a letter telling them you are withdrawing membership from that congregation.
Include that you in no way are disassociating yourself from the greater Jehovah's Witness community.
Only that you no longer want to be recognized in the membership list of that particular congregation.
Then write another letter telling them to cease calling or making contact with you, threaten with
legal measure against the local BOE. Tell them that you will not include the Watchtower Society in
the legal case unless they start giving legal advise to the BOE and by their association they are
including themselves in your legal case against them. You want to repeat clearly that you will
sue the local BOE for any judicial action they take against you, since you don't consider yourself
a member of that congregation and you will sue them for any negative mention of you in a public
setting or any announcement. End by saying that you are not disassociating yourself and you
reserve the right to join another JW congregation of your choosing where you will feel they won't
harass you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Due to their mistreatment of you, and
their discrimination against you (for all these reasons against the BOE), you find no alternative but
to withdraw membership from that congregation and their biggoted pioneer representatives.

the annointed- let me get this straight
by nowwhat? inso there are roughly 12,000 "annointed" here on earth right now.
even though they are christ's brothers and the new testament was written just for them, they have no say on how "jehovah's organazation" is run and the the things taught.
makes sense to me!!!

The latest from the Gooberning Bawdy is that only them, the 8 that are part of this Gooberning Bawdy, are the ones in charge of dispensing spiritual food and that the other anointed plus the ones who aren't a total of 7 million JWs are the domestics who take in of the spiritual food provided.
Anything else is "old light".

The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.
by Stand for Pure Worship ini suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.
i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.
(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

One of the big issues from Bethel living was the restriction on unapproved music albums.
Does the music you enjoy really say whether you're a spiritual person or not?
Did Jesus listen to middle eastern belly dancing music or did he condemn it?
I dunno, what does the fox say?

Talking to a JW about Jesus crucifixion and resurrection goes pretty much the same way.

Nathan Knorr had issues about men's penises, he'd go on ranting about masturbation and not touching one's willey while going pee, and certainly not looking sideways if you were at the urinals, that could lead to homosexual ideas. Also he was very insensitive of other's views, feelings and knowledge.
In CoC you can find out how Knorr treated Ed Dunlap (Gilead Instructor) very badly when Ed had a nerve problem in the face and side of his head that was quite painful, Knorr transferred him to work in the printery which acerbated the pains.
