Indeed he is... There is just something sexy about 12 gauges... the versatility is amazing.
I prefer Mossberg but I was recently gifted a benelli. I killed a turkey with it a few days... Nothing like a wild turkey breast.

I like guns like my friends like cars. The majority of my guns have never been fired, I'm talking 90% of them. I collect antique guns etc... not into the military weapon such as ar15 etc but I understand why so.w do.
I go to the range a few times a week though because target shooting is really a huge past time for me. I do however live on a large property and have to deal with vermin and animals occasionally.

eldub that get stuck on a word!.

over the years i have been around a few, that if a "big" or "unusual" word or phrase is used at the assembly or by a co/do, to stress a point.

then eldub "somebody" will use it at every meeting, if they can find a way to squeeze it into a part or commit.. most of them get over it after a few meetings.

There was an elder in my old Florida hall... brother White...
He use to say behoove at every opportunity In and out of context. I hate him for it

DF’d or DA???
by DATA-DOG in

so, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.

what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.

i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

Dubstepped.... I can't applaud ur comment enough. In the years that I've been on this site I have seen people express that opinion so much air really gets out of control after a certain point. It always helps me to remind them when they start jumping on my back about dissociating that regard this of the situation they are still and always will be a Jehovah's witness although an active they are still a Jehovah's witness

9 days to go

9 days to go until i hand my d'a letter in.

its extremely short, as in one sentence long.

i'm not giving them a reason coz i don't need to coz it's my life and my choice and i don't have to answer to the boe or gb.
silentbuddha

A lot of people are against dissociation and dissociation letters because of their own inability to be able to just walk away and deal with what would come after that so they encourage feeding and/or various other methods to distance themselves from the organization. Defect of the matter is if you see you are still one of Jehovah's witnesses although in active that is something you shouldn't want connected to you if at all possible.
When people work at a particular organization and they feel they need to part ways they write a letter of resignation I really don't see it as being much different than that and as you state it also clears you from any harassment moving forward good on you for making a decision that you feel will be in your best benefit

Datadog I applaud you for having the balls to be able to be genuione and admit to leaving. I found myself in a similar situation and DA'ed. Tell the to fack off. Write a brief letter stating the reason why. Many say they wont read it, however my letter led to one of the elders on the body leaving and we now hang out occasionally and he and his family have thanked me for doing things the way I did on more than one occasion.
Confessing puts you in a situation in which you HAVE TO MOVE ON. Good for you and I applaud whatever path you take.
