The New Diary of Winston Smith

by WinstonSmith in

we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

Oubliette: Funny you say that because I very nearly did just that. There is a guy at my work who will walk into my office and just start talking about whatever he came for. I always interrupt him and say "I'm fine thanks mate, I appreciate you asking!" He hates it, and gets the point, but then does the same thing the next day....

By the way I hadn't thought to check my PMs for a while, and finally saw yours yesterday. I appreciate it, and would love to learn more! I'm intrigued and hope all is well.

Ray: Always good to hear from you bro! We are looking forward to making the move. We know it will play a key role in stepping away from our past. I think things will be even more different than we imagine. I just hope we can pull it off and slink away.

Ha ha 'Fade Accompli' I love it! Great work Phizzy.

The plan for the moment is to keep putting in time. We are of course not doing any, and if any of them had a brain between them, they would realise this.... We are doing this for now so as to stay off the radar. This is because we are planning to move in the next fews months and are hoping to keep the wolves away until then. When we move we will 'accidentally' give the Secretary the wrong street number. We don't have a landline and don't answer numbers we don't know on our mobiles, nor do we open the door for anyone who hasn't texted us in advance. This will hopefully put a reasonably final lid on the congregational side of things.

This just leaves the friendships, but in all honesty, the only person that will keep in touch with us will be Sister T and we are okay with that as we still have hopes that she may wake up. You know what its like, you can have friends in another congregation who share the same hall, but only see them twice a year.

That's the plan anyway. Time will be the prover....

Listener: Very true my friend. The focus on numbers is more and more evident with each printed magazine, Kingdom Ministry, and meeting. So sad that numbers take precedent over love and compassion. Jesus said his yoke would be light and kind, yet the measurement of the sheep and the rating of their value based on these numbers is far from light or kind. For shame.

Pams Girl: Awesome to hear from you :-) Hard to believe it has been more than a year since we began this journey together. I honestly laughed out loud when I got that text from that elder. No questions about where we have been or if we are okay, nope, just straight on to the numbers. Gotta get those numbers in no matter what the cost! It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic that these guys are allegedly appointed by holy spirit to look after God's sheep.

But hey, we always try and look at the positive. We'd rather have it this way than gettig spammed with stalkers.

Long may it continue!

What will happen when JWActivists goes back online?

by okage in

the aawa website jwactivists is down for repairs or whatever, so here is my prediction of what it will be when it comes up:.

* the site will have removed all mention of jwn.

* the site will have revised their own history.. * the site will have a registry that will be contingent on confirmation of identity in relation to the wts, but will also limit the function and communication of naysayers of john cedars' only working organization on earth.. * privacy will not be addressed.

How to identify Publishers who know TTATT

by His Excellency in

jw
friends

since coming to know ttatt, i have always wondered if there are others in the congregation who also share similar experience with me, are there pointers to identifying others who are also faking meeting attendance and fs activities..

WinstonSmith

In all seriousness, don't trust anyone. Never assume.

They are the ones that sit there with their eyes glazed over.

Oh no, wait, that's everyone else!

HEY GUESS WHAT!?

I got a text from an elder!!!

What do you reckon? Did he enquire about my spiritual health? Offer spiritual assistance? Ask if there was anything he could do to help since we have been MIA for more than a month?

No.

The text read, and I quote: "Did I get your time for last month?"

Can you feeeeeeeel the love!?

Julia this is really good news about your hubby. Slowly but surely mate, hang in there :-)

We skipped it today too, as we did the special talk last week. We only got one text to ask where we were, and that was from our dear fiend Sister T who thought we were there, and asked where we were sitting. No elder, not even our Group Overseer has been in touch, despite us being MIA for more than a month. Jeez, its lucky we're not dying or anything!
