I don't get the permission part.
It might be that I've never been a JW.
If the funeral hasn't happened yet I say stop acting as an ex-JW and operate as a non JW and show the hell up out of respect for HIM.

When your oldest friend is a JW and they die
by Terry inin my book, i wept by the rivers of babylon, i described the process of having a friend, johnny santa cruz, use our friendship as a platform for converting me to a jehovah's witness.. that friendship cost me decades of my life in bondage to a cult.. the friendship was real and johnny and i bonded for life.
but, the religion eventually turned him into a stone silence toward me--his oldest friend.
now he is dead and the imaginary reunion and meeting of the minds is no longer a possibility.. this makes his passing a double tragedy.. his memories were my memories.

I say go for it New Boy!
It seems like many JWs I know would relate so far.
Hopefully the intended audience is JWs AND non-JWs. I'm trying to get these types of books under the noses of non-jws these days.

Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience
by Lee Elder init is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.
if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.
in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

I know of a few families where one generation of dysfunction followed another. At the root of it all was the WTS. -

I dunno.
I would think a more effective campaign so to speak would be to teach non-JWs in a non-emotional way what this group is really about and then let householders start anti-witnessing.
My brother has the ARC Washington Post article at his door and is waiting for the next Witness to come to his door so he can ask them to explain the WTS's position on it.
Seems to me that if you equip enough households with information like this, the preaching work may end.

Wow, look at all the comments on MY thread!
So you made another account? Now you're named after a lady's sanitary napkin... This is great.
Especially, not the kind of persons I want to be friends with.
So... how many more accounts will you create to be around people you don't want to be friends with?
the world at large is more concerned with organizations that pose a lethal threat, like ISIS.
Well, this site is more concerned with the organization that has either threatened to wreck or has successfully wrecked people's emotional lives by using their own families as weapons.
If that's what you respect, go and continue to be a part of the emotional jihad they're inflicting on others that are hurting. I'm sure your Jehovah respects you as much as Allah respects the suicide bombers.

i hope everyone is doing well.😊 i wanted to take a minute to let you know how things have been the last few months.. recently the brothers decided to finally consider my letter of resignation.
they met with me alone and i let them know why i have become inactive as a publisher and why i no longer wish to serve as an elder in the congregation.

Good God.
It appears that this one is going to be a hatefest.
Wonder which will be worse... An African American at a Trump rally or a non-JW at this convention.
