I would just start missing meetings, plan things for meeting times, say you don't feel well, etc. eventually you can just skip all the meetings and say nothing.

The Time is More Important than Results
by OnTheWayOut inon my way in to work this morning (saturday), at 6:05 am on a commercial business street in chicago, i saw two sisters and a brother bundled up in winter clothes and doing "street work.
" it wasn't that cold, so i guess they started even earlier when they needed their scarf and gloves.
there was absolutely nobody else walking and all the businesses were closed.

This way they don't really have to talk to anyone. Easy service and they get to count the time.

An elder called me.
by Julia Orwell inan elder who handled the minor matter with my husband a few weeks ago called to see how we were doing.
this guy genuinely is a gentle, kind, man whom the congregation loves.
he's the one everyone approaches because he never judges or condescends.

I promise you, it gets easier and easier the longer you stay away. When we run into the witnesses/elders, we laugh about it now. Getting out is worth it.

I hope every goes in conti's favor. I can't believe the courts could decide in favor of a religion that protects child molesters.

At one circuit assembly, the district overseer gave a 45 minute talk where he mentioned oral sex repeatedly. Afterward, all the little kids were asking a lot of questions.

I like the way he gave them the information and let them make their own decision. He didn't come off as the bad guy that way. I think I was too demanding that my daughter accept ttatt and should have been a lot more laid back when presenting the true facts I discovered about the society.

All of Bethel Know About The Child Molestation Law Suits: And The Governing Body Is Looking Very Bad In Most Bethlites Eyes I'm Willing To Bet
by frankiespeakin inok we had the silent lambs march years ago right there at head quarter over this issue, don't you think that caused a lot of gossip, and expose on a big abc network called 20/20, and many in europe, canada, all about how bad the governing body's policies are on children.. now we have out of court settlements with victims with a gag order, conti big case, and many more.
so i would think everyone at bethel knows about the governing body's mishandleling of these matters.. i'm sure this, a long with the big new light about the governing body alone make of the faithful slave are causing many a lot of irritation and so are seeing these guys now in a different light..
