My mother just died in July and it is difficult when you know they are no longer there. I'm sorry to hear that you lost two people you were close to in such a short period of time.

You are constantly told to wait on Jehovah (god) for answers to your scriptural questions and doubts.
You are not allowed to be baptised because your hair is too long (male)
You are not allowed to be baptised because your dress does not cover up the fact that you have a very sexy body (female)
You are not allowed to be baptised because you do turn in a preset amount of field service time each month, or you haven't joined the Ministry School.

Do you have some compelling reason to respond to the request of the elders of a congregation that is associated with a false religion? If the Catholic Church or the local Rabbi wanted you to write a letter stating your status in their local house of worship, would you dignify their intrusion on your privacy and comply?
These bozo's are representatives of a publishing house, a fake religion. Asking you for your personal reason you no longer associate is an intrusion on your privacy.
If, after 3 years of your absence they have gotten along just fine without you, what would their motive be for the inquirey? (other than to pry into your personal life and try to kick you out.)
I realize you probably want to let them know the truth about the truth, and that is OK, just realize that it will probably be lost on them.

My Near Death Experience
by Dogpatch inhi y'all, just wanted to let you know i was out for a stroll on my bicycle for exercise last week and got hit by a car 100 yards from my house.
it was a hit and run.
i got up with only minor bruises but felt really dizzy and asked one of my roommates to take me to the hospital as i was dizzy and felt i was going to pass out on the spot in the middle of the street.

Dear Randy,
What horrible news about your accident. It is hard to believe a driver could hit a person and not stop to help and call for help. How does that person sleep at night? You could have died! Thankfully, it sounds like you will recover.
Are the police looking for the driver? Perhaps if they find this person, their insurance will pay some of your bills.
Please continue to keep us posted.

Do You Ever Doubt Your Efforts Are Futile?
by Elephant in...hello folks.... ...i've read countless of posts, ideas, opinions, etc here and i'm interested in your response.... ...there is a whole gamut of feelings here from individuals that are simply annoyed with the wt organization, to those that come off as hellbent on putting the org out of comission.... ...others yet seem to have made it their mission in life to eradicate the concept of god himself.... ...to any of these, what is your motivation?
and do you ever doubt that these efforts are futile?
do you feel that you posses the power/ability/means to change the convictions/faiths of the masses?

I take comfort in coming to JWN and discovering that I am not alone. Others have been misled by this evil cult. Others have wasted years of their lives and made huge sacrifices, thinking they were doing it for god, only to find out that thoses sacrifices were for a publishing house posing as a religion.

Some of the crazy stuff they say is terribly said. I remember a circuit assembly talk and the speaker said if we were asked to jump we should ask how high.
It's a cult.

Welcome Dismal. I am not a professional but I have been in a few messed up situations.
Is it possible that you are sabatoging your own happiness? Perhaps you unconsciously feel you don't deserve her love, or you are pushing her away before she pushes you away. If you feel this is happening, you need to find out why. True love is hard to find. If this relationship is worth saving, than try as hard as you can to fix it. Right away, my friend.
