CONGRATS!! I hope to do the same in a couple of months!!
Q
thats right, about 2 weeks ago i confronted the po and told him i just could not do it anymore.. i genuinely have been under alot of pressure recently with my work so i used this as the pitch.
he was not happy but i received little resistance, which suited me.
i handed him my letter last week before i went on holiday.. i have to say it is a great weight off my shoulders, no book study, meetings for ministry, talks, public talks etc etc.. i will no doubt be the subject of local congregation gossip!

Q
i have been sworn to secrecy on a couple of matters that will soon be evident in this regard.
sorry to be 'cryptic' here - but timing is everything when one is trying to bring the very serious [and often ignored in the press] matter of child sexual abuse to the fore.

BTTT- Any updates?
my major claim to fame was that i studied with a family that i found from house to house and all 6 got baptized.
within a year's time, the mom and daughter got baptized and then within the next year and a half all the others followed suit.
2 of the kids became bethelites and the other daughter became an elder's wife.
UNFORTUNEATLY-- 4 victims because of me. Fortuneatly though, 2 are inactive.
Q
c.t.russell began with a personal "purpose" which was to find a way to believe in/worship god while doing away with the beliefs he found to be personally uncomfortable such as hellfire.
he shopped around and cherry picked 2nd adventist views as a foundation.
to this he added pyramidology.
Can this commentary be submitted to the local newspapers? EXCELLENT synopsis!!

Minimus:
During the past 5 or so years that I have been lurking and occasionally posting, I have come to view your comments as "quality" stuff. I don't doubt for an instant that are reporting exactly what was said to you. I'm looking forward to reading what you come up with tomorrow.
Q
an open letter to the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.
dear sirs -.
most likely you and your pundits follow carefully this site and others like it on the internet.
Jeff-
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your letter. What a fair and concise commentary on what is ailing this organization. We can only hope that it might just strike a chord in the heart of at least one member of the GB. Wishful thinking I'm sure, but a hope nonetheless. I however, am not planning to stick around to see that day-
Q

re: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/116108/1.ashx.
a bethel insider in the know told me that all of the child abuse lawsuits where the watchtower bible and tract society was one of the defendants were settled back in the beginning of this year.
i questioned it and called napa myself and they were absolutely settled back then.
