  2. experiences

  i resigned as an elder some time ago, have been working on fading, the wife is getting used to the new 'me' (not stressed, better husband and father, etc.

  ), been missing a lot of meetings... even received a few statements such as: 'hi burnedout, it's good to see you!!!

  last sunday, i took my one of my sons to the local dragstrip to show him the races, oops missed the meeting.

  Did I throw these guys under the bus?

  by burnedout in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  over a year ago i knew i had to resign my position as elder because of many reasons.

  i was the youngest elder being 40ish... and there had already been some resistance to my wanting to cut back on the many responsiblities i had.

  i knew that to make it easier for me to resign, there had to be some replacement.

  Is it normal to spend so much time here?

  by burnedout in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am fairly new to taking a stand on what i have long felt about the org.

  no longer an elder now (big weight off my shoulders), and really find i am researching on this board all kinds of things i suspected and are now confirmed.

  looking back over the years i had many intuitions about some situations and never took action on those feelings.

  42% of Canadians can't read (DC Talk)

  by burnedout in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i heard this statement at the dc today (saturday), the talk about some new brochure to help those who can't read in order to learn the basics of the truth:.

  "one study finds that 42% of canadians can not read well enough to function in society... that's right brothers...

  of course, no source was given, and then the speaker says how important this new 'tool' will be in the ministry.... i asked the wife what she thought of that and she agreed it sounded fishy.
