TalkToUsPlease, MutualRespectPlease!
by smellsgood insince you said you had been reading this board for at least a few weeks, and didn't have a problem researching things online, i'm surprised that it seems you've cut and run so soon!
did you change your mind, perhaps decided it was too contrary to your beliefs for you to handle?
were you surprised at the reactions you got?

We've been invited to a JC
by besty infor those of you don't know our story sweet pea and i stopped attending all meetings quite abruptly about 4 months ago.
since then we have had a few ill-advised conversations with jw friends and family stating our reasons - sometimes in emails.
also sp emailed a new friend on another forum her experiene with going to a new church.

G'day besty,
I don't think we've corresponded before but at least we are now, eh?
I don't pretend to have the 'right' answers to your question but what i do have is opinions based on the experience that Mrs Ozzie and I had.
I have never believd in DA - personally I think it grants 'them' the recognition that they don't deserve. Sure, many don't go that way and that's fine with me. My best friend took a different path himself and caused quite a stir in the local KH!!
But for us (MRs Ozzie and I) we just got on with our lives and it was several years later that we were finally 'invited' - we refused because we rightly considered the WT an irrelevance in our lives. Our crime? Not fading, oh no, it was attending a church!! - see the parallel with your Alpha course?
I believe we were DF - we've never been told - but I think in your case too, the wheels are in progress, you can't stop it.
Should you fight it? Not likely! They're doing you a favor of the highest order!
Rejoice!

How large was your JC?
by AK - Jeff ini saw one comment that indicated a jc was, in his case, made up of 6 elders.
normally i think 3 or 5 is the number.
i think mine was 3 - though i did not attend the party.. jeff .

mutual respect
by Hortensia indid you ever notice that people who want "mutual respect" or "compromise" or "consensus" or "discussion" really just want you to shut up and listen to them?
they don't really want any of those things; they just want to put the other person in the wrong for disagreeing.
if they really wanted a "discussion," they'd have the courtesy to reply to comments, rather than just do a hit and run sermon.

Are JWDers helpful to each other?
by AuldSoul ini used to think that this place was a good spot to recommend for exiting jws.
in some wasy, it still is.
but if they want to test the waters of doctrinal evaluation i believe it is nearly impossible.

We have the truth - part 2

i know the organization is not perfect.
is there strong evidence that he has his people here on earth that although not perfect, are doing his will?
