"Just around the corner." The dumbest song that I have ever heard..

by DATA-DOG in

i'm at my quasi-thanksgiving dinner with relatives.

i hear a haunting sound from another room.

"is that a children's song?

Need input: elders showed up at our door today

by de-opresso-liber in

so as i announced last week, my wife and i started our fade and i sent in a letter to our body that i was stepping down and cited the arc as the reason and insisted that we not be bothered.

my wife told a few relatives in person that we weren't going to attend meetings any longer (immediate shunning occurred, the new videos must be effective) and that what we found with the arc shocked us etc etc.

i have an inside track on how this is all going down by an awake elder on the body, co told them to handle the matter quickly.

Thanks everyone. After sleeping on it, I have a fresh perspective. They have no authority over me and I am not going to play their game. They can disfellowship us if they choose and my guess is the Borg will be operating on zero tolerance going forward anyway. They can have their crazy made up cult, we are moving on with our life. We have some incredibly wonderful things happening for us on other fronts right now, going to just stay focused on those things and leave the madness to these lunatics. Hope you all enjoy your Sunday, it's beautiful where we are at.

Thanks blondie, I am normally a pretty relaxed person, but them showing up unannounced after asking we be left alone just made my blood boil. Zero respect. Will have to see if I get more info through the grapevine I guess.

So, what's you guy's take? We hitting the chopping block or you think this is an effort to "shepherd"? Reason I'm asking is because if they are going to burn us down I am going full blown activist and I have a huge email and social media address book of JWs all over the country since we were so involved for so long and plan on sending "my thoughts" prior to the teardown if that's what's coming,.

p.s. we didn't answer the door

been lurking since early this year.

there are many of us out there (at least in this area, central u.s.) who are waking up and crossing the line to talk to each other about it.

in our area, several elders, ministerial servants and pioneers are actively and openly sharing info with each other daily.

Thanks everyone. Will keep you all in the loop as more develops, but for now: Freedom!!!!

Thanks DJS. We disconnected mentally a few months ago and already feel like we are getting some sanity back.

In our area, several elders, ministerial servants and pioneers are actively and openly sharing info with each other daily. Quite a few of us are openly awake and making changes. Recently stepped down from serving, former pioneer and lots of other "privileges" on many levels. My wife woke up (thankfully!) a few months after I did and dropped off the pioneer list. Still working through a lot of stuff and flying under the radar as friends try to get their families to wake up, but won't be stepping foot in a KH again. Now we are planning our life 2.0 without the Borg.

Which leads me to a BIG thank you. Thanks to all of you here, jehovahs-witness.com John Cedars, JWfacts.com, Barbara Anderson and everyone who has taken the time to scan old publications, break down things like 607, kept updates coming about the Royal Commission and who have shared your stories and experiences. We had already been questioning the crazy changes and the push for loyalty to the Borg, but being able to really break down all the doctrinal problems and pulling back the veil on the disgusting track record of child abuse made it easy to sort out that we have been involved in a cult. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Never underestimate who is reading and lurking as they are also sorting and researching and trying to figure out how to get out. If our area is any kind of indicator of what is typical, the Borg is worried for very good reason.
