Hi. I'm happy for you :)
I made such "vows" in the near past but ultimately never could live up to them due to the circumstances. I do hope you'll succeed and will be able to live your life the way you want and not the way they want you to.
after knowing ttatt for many years now...i had made up my mind long ago that after 2014, i would no-longer subject myself to the boredom, pain, and frustration of following this cult...the wt...the borg.. so...i made up my mind that since the wtbts/gb makes such a big deal as to the "significance" of the year 1914 and this year 2014, there can be no greater time for me to leave it all behind.
i daydreamed of how awesome and telling it would be if everyone that could ( because i do know that some have personal circumstances of their own, as i did too) would just .... walkout...never to attend/step foot in a kingdom hall from that moment on.. independence day of sorts?
there is too much evidence, too many videos, blogs, books, news reports and lawsuits for me to keep lying to myself.

i'm considering resigning as an elder.
i'm not planning to fade or stop as one of jehovah's witnesses, just stop serving as an elder.. i have responsibility in the congregation and in circuit, district, rbc, etc.
and i'm completely exhausted.
lol cantleave, that's indeed funny
+Island Man: I agree on that. The WT knows a thing or two about organizing events, then so does Kim Jong-un...
i'm watching the bill nye vs. ken ham debate.
there is this scientist (raymond vahan damadian) referred by ken who invented the mri.
raymond says he's a young earth creationist, that he beleives the earth was created on six 24 hours long days.. how can somebody that smart completely ignore all the evidences that proves that the biblical view of earth's origin is wrong?.
He has invented - or is associated with the invention of (I didn't bother reading his biography yet) - a medical equipment that saves lots of lots of lives. No wonder he gives no sh*t to what other scientists may think about him, after all he has contributed to the mankind.
i bet we see lots and lots of kingdom hall and branch propereties going to the auction block to make up the losses.
expect more and more pleas from the faithful slave for more and more donations in the future as the magazine selling business continues to post lots of losses with no end in sight and child molestation lawsuits must be paid.
the governing body or corporate ceos have their bottom line which is generate cash flow in a positive direction, by hook or by crook.. the faithful slave auction block:.
I hope the jw community finds out what is the real reason behind the GB begging for money.
Answering the question: I think they will make the lawsuits last as long as possible, but obviously they will pay and if the WT pays our brainwashed relatives and friends pay too :(

And what's this thing with presenting all these creatinist scientists anyway? Is that the way Ken hopes to earn credit and trust in his words?
i was having a discussion with a brother about the following topic: if psalms says.
" the lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
" (new international version).
Thank you guys for your replies. I found this video on, it is related to the subject being discussed.

Uh, that's a lot of pages. I'm on the 5th page now. Thank you for the link. There are some very useful reasonings in that thread.
just wondering if the attendants are instructed not to "count" known df'd memorial partakers.
who sincerely partake of the emblems, considering the unsettling increase in partakers of late.. just asking.
RubaDub, that is hilarious. What is the biblical account to back up that, if I may ask?
2014-03-29 adjustment to financing kingdom hall and assembly hall construction worldwide.

Stupid question: Why do they tell the elders to destroy the letter that was sent in 2009?
The December 7, 2009, letter to all congregations should be removed from the congregation permanent file of policy letters and be destroyed.
