i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.
at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.
the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.
"We are sorry to announce that Brother Weirdigan is no longer one of Jehovahs Witnesses. Now, a local-needs talk about the sin of sheep-shagging ..."
exactly what I lived several years ago. "Brother Polish Clarinet is no longer a ministerial servant". And now, brother Asshole will warn the assembly about the dangers of dating a non witness person" I hope nobody understood what my "sin" was...
dreams:.
you requested several boe's, forms, and so forth.
instead of picking out a letter here or there, grandpa atlantis would rather send you the entire file folder.sooner or later they will find their way to simon's board.
I'm afraid Atlantis will be the first one to perish when the end comes ! Atlantis is a sinner against the Holy Spirit directed Governing Body, by sharing all this SECRET information...
Thank you so much for opening our mind !
we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.
we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.
we go in service at least once a month.
I've been living this situation for 14 years as a ministerial servant for being too... SERIOUS ! And then when I became a PIMO, I wasn't invited for being too... WEAK !
Now, after 3 years out of this crap, but not disfellowshipped nor disassociated, when I meet JWs on the street they wonder if they sould say "hello" of nor... Very nice organisation indeed !
for many years the government of mexico did not allow religious organizations to own property.
any property used by a religious organization was confiscated by the government.
this law changed in the mid 1990's.
Very good The Fall Guy
what a wonderfull Name for this spirit-guided organisation !
.
it's the same ! tools of propaganda nd control are the same wherever you live!
the cult is so screwed up its appalling!first thing this morning and this shitty text is what i get for the start of the new year.
"the 20th century ended on 31st of december 2000 at 23:59:59 +1 second so technically, yes, the next decade according to that would begin next year.
but the twenties started to day.i hope these are the roaring twenties!
3 years out tomorrow !!
they come uninvited to your door step and try to discuss bible/wt doctrines with you, and many times or on occasion you do so.. you may even exchange first names with each other , and that is fine if you are happy with that but do you know where they live ?.
but they have an advantage over you .they know your name and where you live .!.
you may know there first name but you don`t know where they live .that is the advantage they have over you.. does it really matter ?
I'm living on the territory of another congregation. Since i've disappeared from meetings, the other congregation has forgotten about me and about my house !

Precious documents Atlantis !
how things have changed!
a childhood friend and her husband stayed with us for a few days and, except for when we went sightseeing, they spent most of their time on their digital devices viewing and listening to content from jw.borg.
a few years back i recall a stearn warning against the use of such devices at an assembly.
several years ago, the most important thing was to "keep busy in the fied service" ! GB wanted to avoid "weak" proclaimers
Nowadays, priority is to keep people in the organisation.
why the shunning if someone leaves?
why are they working so hard to keep everyone in?
is it money?
it's all about control : controlling people, controlling relationship between members, controlling the money... controlling the whole life of their members ! Who called this a CULT ?????
