  ATTENTION WATCHTOWER MONITORS

  by D8TA in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was born in to your so-called visible earthly organization.

  you taught me well; with the intimate details in the machinery you call the society.

  you assumed that your strict exercises would suppress my ability to achieve a free mind.

  4 more days till I leave the Watchtower

  in 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.

  My circumstances were very different, being the only JW in the family, but I merely told (not wrote) a few people, then any who asked, that I would not be going to the meetings 'at least for the time being'.I have not been DF'd though I have been much more outspoken lately. YOu could try that way to get some breathing space?

  I am in the N.E. of Scotland, and I asked a 'sister' the other day if she knew where he was now, she said she thought he had gone to 'Malta or somewhere like that' Do you want me to ask anyone else? I think 'they' are getting very wary of me now, so I don't know what success I'll have, but I could try.

  I used to say I was a housewife, and then I thought ,no I'm not married to a HOUSE, I'm married to a FARMER! So I,m a farmer's wife.Which means all sorts of things including being up to my armpit in a cow or a sheep on accasions. Also feeding the family. 3 kids, one left home now.I do a great deal of cooking, very cheap bargain hunting too.I can supplement our income by milking a goat(well I used to) or butchering a roe deer, knitting clothes, spinning wool. So I didn't like it when Brs & Sis. used to ask me why I didn't get a job.HA! Beats working for a living.

  it is a gorgeous morning here in n.e.scotland so we are going to get the kids & dog into the car and go to the beach for a couple of hours.

  it's about a half-hour drive to a choice of unspoilt beaches, next stop norway.i think we are very lucky/blessed/ fortunate (delete as appropriate) sometimes we see dolphins and once a seal.

  it is a good place to think about spiritual things.wish you were here.

  Free fallin, no I have never been to the Shetlands but I would like to. We had a lovely time at the beach, it was very sunny and the sea was dark blue.The scenery is lovely round here, some times we go inland towards the Grampian hills.The sea is very cold here as it is the North Sea, so no swimming for me!

  Chucking out Stepford wife clothes...

  by meat pie in

  2. friends

  i spent an hour or two going through my 'meeting clothes'.

  they were second-hand when i got them, so no use to anyone else, and anyway, who else dresses like that?did you chuck out/pass on your jw uniform when you stopped going?

  it's silly really , just about everyone hates to wear those clothes and would change out of them at the earliest opportunity.as i am not exactly tiny in frilly dresses i looked like a badly mis-arranged bunch of flowers!

  Will silentlambs Be DF???

  well now we have it, what appears to be the pre-emptive strike from wt.. as of this friday three families who appeared on the dateline program have been informed judicial committees have been setup with a one week notice and it is alleged that they have been causing "divisions" within the organization.

  i got my letter today, barbara anderson got hers yesterday and the other family earlier this week.. if you were a pr firm would you think it to be a good idea or a bad idea to df everyone a couple of weeks before the dateline program airs?

  what do you think the american public will think of such a move?.

  Divisions- YES! between those with information and integrity and those without one or both.
