I would submit this to the Watchtower Society for publication. Since the magazines have no real spiritual content, and with all the cutbacks, they would probably appreciate this article. This might also work for the Kingdom Ministry.

When Was The Last Time "The Friends" Checked Up On You? Spiritual or Social Visit?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini know of two couples who left the congregation i faded from, they two have never received a shepherding call, i was usually the one who came by with food or offered to help clean their homes.
most of you are beyond this like i am, this goes to the new members arriving here who might think the "friends" are coming to check up on them.
the elders in my former hall were too much into drinking and eating, average body weight was 265lbs with pumpkin shaped bodies.

When I left just over two yrs ago, three elders telephoned me, very briefly, on separate occasions and asked me if there was anything they could do. I said no, I am not ever coming back. I haven't heard a peep since.

JANUARY 15TH 2013 STUDY EDITION. ???????????????
by DATA-DOG ini have been skimming the magazine this morning, and the whole issue seems designed to keep the flock at the kh.
yes, i know this is not exactly " new " information.
still with all the problems the organization is having, this one just seemed to strike me as odd.

You made me think this morning with this post.
When you go to the meetings and hear the propaganda and rhetoric, and you believe it, it gives you the placebo effect. You believe Jehovah will bless you and save you and that the organization will tell you the truth, so it becomes your truth.

To those still "in"... how do these scriptures impact you?
by leaving_quietly inmatt 7:13, 14: "go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14?whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.".
matt 24:44: "on this account you too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it, the son of man is coming.".
2 pet 3:3, 4: "for you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4?and saying: where is this promised presence of his?

Why do these scriptures scare you?
Being associated with a false religious organization such as Jehovah's Witnesses isn't going to earn your salvation.
Why would god save people who supported false prophecy? That doesn't make any sense.

I am so happy not to be going out in service anymore.
I used to get stuck in the back of a mini van as we rode all over the territory calling on everyone else's return visits.

He is not the man you want. Don't enter into a marriage no matter how much you love him. You will only bring pain and calamity to both of you and upon your children. He will never give up trying to get you to join in and as the "scriptural head of the house" he is obligated to raise his children in the cult.
You will always come in second, the organization always will come before you do.

How to use disfellowshipping as a way to bring them to the light
by sosoconfused inso after i stepped down and began to be the cynical young angry ex-elder in the hall a few brothers decided to have a surprise shepherding call.. they asked me what had me down, i said nothing.
i am actually very happy right now.
then one brother says, "i think you are forgetting what makes us so special in the first place... we obey god as ruler... rather then men.
