Help me ... getting w..e....a.......k
by Simon inangharad has abandoned me and gone on a girls night out!.
to cut a long story short - i'm starving to death and the end may be only minutes away .... there is a large white box in a place called "kitchen" (hey, it lights up when you open the door!
) and apparently this can be used with a "noven" or "micro-drive" (or was it "wave"?

Thanks to Kismet
by kheli ini followed your wonderful advice on how to deal with my "friend" who accused me of securing for my child, a life w/satan.
i quoted the scriptures in 1 corinthians 13 on love and asked how her email fit into that description of love.
then i brought up her being judgemental, self-righteous, etc.

Kheli:
I am glad it worked out. I'm sure some of the other good suggestions would have worked as well. Perhaps it will get her to think {{Shrug}}
Wishing you and all those that 'really' care about you, all good things. Keep enjoying your freedom and peace away from the Borg.

Thank God for Friends
by kheli ini've been df'd since last september.
i haven't heard from my ex-best friend in about 6 months.
so all of a sudden she emails me yesterday asking one simple question:.

Kismet
Send her the definition of love as is found in 1st Corinthians. Then ask her how her email could fall into any of those categories.
Tell her you miss her friendship but never realized until now how judmental and cold hearted she was. Wish her well and then silently thank whatever diety you may believe in if any that you are no longer of that sort.
It is tough to go through this kind of thing, but the high road has a great view!!

BEWARE:anewperson jeopardises Shunned Dad
by Scully indear friends:.
please be very careful about information you post here, and in private e-mail, particularly if you send e-mail to the individual who posts under the moniker "anewperson".. "anewperson" has time and time again completely ignored the court order restricting public release of information that could reveal shunned father's identity to people who are aware of his court case, leaving him liable for fines by the court, when he is already deeply in debt for legal expenses.
"anewperson" has divulged shunned dad's name, place of employment and work e-mail address on multiple occasions.

Scully:
Thank you for posting this thread. I think it is a great reminder to all that there are more important things going on than who can post what information first.
The fact that this person has time and again disregarded requests for discretion should make it evident to most that he cannot be trusted.
I had thought of posting something similar about anewperson but felt that it would be disregarded due to my known annoyance of fundies who try to replace their own "truth" for that lost to those who leave the JW sect.
Thakn you for bringing this to our attention and I hope people heed your suggestions. I also wanted to thank you for your contributions ot the site.
We can always count on an intelligent perspective from you and your medical research is greatly appreciated!!

4 more days till I leave the Watchtower
by Leander inin a few more days i'll be making my departure from the wts, part of me is relieved and yet another part of me is dreading the drama i'll be going through shortly.
i've been trying to prepare myself for the deluge of questions that i know are sure to come from my family.
my wife will be the first person i tell obviously and then i'll tell my mother and younger brother.

You mentioned that you do not want to DA yourself. If that is the case I would suggest that you not give anything in writing. When you are ready approach the PO. Tell him that "due to personal reasons I need to step aside (proper Theocratese)from my responisiblities as a MS. For the moment I would ask not to be assigned any parts in the Service Meeting and I plan on talking to brother School Overseer and withdraw from the school for now as well. I'm not sure for how long but this is something I have to do right now."
By using this approach you are not making anything formal. It is just like you cannot handle things right now and need a break. I have seen some bodies of elders use a simple note like you present as grounds for announcing you disassociated yourself. Never put anything in writing!
Many when they find out the truth about 'the truth' get an almost newfound zeal in preaching to others about what they learned. I am sure you have seen the zeal of a new person in the congregation and often they have to be told to tone it down or else they will turn off people with their message. The same 'righteous over much' attitudes are there with newly appointed elders.
Some when they leave the Borg can do the same. You know the people involved in your life. I don't. Just don't let your newfound information cause you to burn any bridges that don't have to be burned. Especially with your family. The softer the approach he better it has gone for many. Some (tipping hat to Farkel) have had better success with the 2x4 approach (tho Farkel really does have a soft side to him that helps too) but a softer approach will usually preserve familial relationships far more than if you are labelled apostate.
Regardless of how you do it, I wish you well and good luck. It is a tough time at first but the freedom and peace of mind that I found when I left the Borg is wonderful. The sense of liberation at being able to decide for yourself what and who you like without the Society breathing down your neck using guilt to control you.
My thoughts are with you.

The thinking and writing of this person is just the pattern of the JW-think mentality. Sd really to see how little some people think for themselves.
Not sure if you are aware but it is considered poor netiquette to post private correspondence on a public message board. Is it really necessary to post her email address and webpage here?

Hawk:
I have also been in touch with the Toronto Star, GTA section as well Ms. DiManno. I know she has the cajones to tackle this one. I provded some generalized stats regarding abusers who are still active JW's in various parts around the GTA. I hoped the local angle would spark interest.
We should talk soon. [email protected] is one of the better addresses to get in touch with me.
