how do you rate your yourself (mind, body,face & personality) on a 1-10 scale, with (# 5) being average?
no consideration given for age.
& please, no comments on the 'unimportance' of looks & no false- modesty!

friends,.
i posted a question in november on whether i should da - and i got a surprising level of response - i was also swayed towards not 'playing the wt game'.. however, i feel i want closure.. please see below the letter i have just finished writing - i plan to post it later this week, but would like to know your opinions:.
1) should i send it - yes or no.
Alli,
No, I don’t think I have ever heard a DA letter having been read out, just a ‘special’ announcement by the PO. this of course will no doubt to endorse the ‘shunning’ etc. which follows.
I know how I felt each time any DF/DA announcement was made, puzzled, shocked, and a little discouraged too.
Your letter is really nice….too nice to be disregarded as many on the board have said will happen. I know for sure that the R & F are told not to listen to any ‘contrary talk’ and it would seem that elders are instructed to not even ‘go there!’. They probably read the jist of the letter….then duly file it away…disregarded, basically ‘trashed’. There again, I’m sure that there must be some ‘naughty, thinking elders’ that WILL read (LOL!)
It’s a difficult one, a question I personally ponder also. I would like them to DF me for some ‘technical error’ and then I would feel free to say whatever I want to any JW I should meet…..and believe me I would.
Just my thoughts

Yes, a rather excellent letter!
It's early days for myself, though I have gone through many occaisions where I felt that I needed 'closure'. I have held back only for the reason that I would be acknowledging their rules if I was to DA.
Ideally I think that it would be just great if all the newly (or old for that matter!] inactive ones sent their DA letter in at the same time....now THAT would really discourage a few in the congs.
Imagine having a DA letter read out at every meeting!
I'm sorry but I really do want people to get a hold of the 'real life' and wake up!
I shall copy your letter if you don't mind...for when the time is right for me....

well, it's sunday morning and i'm sitting here posting on this board when i hear 2 car doors slam.
i peek out the window and see 2 elders walking up to the door.
since i'm still in my jammies, i told my husband to go get the door while i snuck into the bedroom.
I used to hate the 'written review'! Never had a pen, and when I did I had a fun time guessing most of the answers. LOL

NLJ,
Yes, the love is sooo under-whelming isn't it??
If only they were to think of the way Jesus is portrayed in the 'Greatest Man who ever Lived Book' maybe they would be ashamed.

i read crisis of conscience some time ago and it had a profound effect on me.
i just gave it to my ex-bethelite friend to read (he had already discovered the "truth" about the truth on his own).
he's about halfway through it and is in the anger stage.

Re: Revelation book. Do you mean to say that they intend to go through this book yet again! Oh please say no....the poor kids!

Cygnus,
Perhaps Tweetibird has extra-loving elders in her locality. Perhaps they wanted her to see just what she is missing on a Thursday evening (cough...cough....splutter,,)
Actually, I also though that it was active pubs. that were elegible for KM's.
