dear leamington spa and warwick elders.
i wanted to thank you for your letter that has set me free.
you have finally confirmed to me how ignorant you are as an elder body.. you should all be ashamed of yourselves as elders.. .
Yep Punky , how true .
I did read somewhere, possibly on here , that this is a deliberate aim of the Org. To make sure that if someone leaves they find it impossible to go elsewhere to have Christian fellowship.
Please don't rule out the possibility, in the future, of finding a group of believers who you can feel comfortable with .

Hi Gavin , you really have been , proverbially , to hell and back . Well done for coming through it all .
Are you British or South African?
You seem to have retained your faith , which is pretty miraculous. Do you belong to any Christian group now ?

july 15 simplified study watchtower par 8, p. 24 - “we need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have jehovah’s approval.”.
(john 14:6) jesus said to him: “i am the way and the truth and the life.
no one comes to the father except through me, or the wtbts inc.".
Maybe because they didn't want you to see them ?

we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.
they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?
) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.
Wow thanks Phizzy, l will take that . 😁.
There are a few more like me ( but I'm the best 🤣 ) .

Welcome Madisoncembre .
Never having been a Witness there's nothing that l can contribute to the conversation.
I can say that you will get lots of advice and support on here.

Thanks Syd , that is pretty much the image l get when mention is made of Evangelical Christians.
I saddens me that clever, unscrupulous people get money or power by running Evangelical mega churches.
Of course people often view all Christians through the lens of Evangelical Christianity.

Riley , l felt quite depressed by your comments about Evangelical Christians.
Are you American? , the use of the word Evangelical makes me think so . In the UK that word isn't used much .
As a member of the Anglican church I've not found that people think that they are experts on vaccines or the Ukraine . I and my Anglican friends all chose to be vaccinated but that was purely our choice.
We regularly pray for peace in the Ukraine, which is not a bad thing surely. In fact on our news sheet the wording is
" please pray for
All those, on both sides, involved in the war in Ukraine, that sense will prevail "
Better stop now , for fear of sending anyone to Zzzzzzzz .

“a spokesperson from dorset coroner's office told the bbc that due to the nature of his death there would be no inquest.
no further details were given on cause of death by the coroner.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65633872.
no "further" details were given?
LUHE when my late husband was at school one of his PE teachers , a fit man in his 20s , just dropped down dead . It was later realised that he had been born with a heart defect which had not been previously detected.
A 46 yr old can die from cancer or a stroke or a myriad of natural causes.

i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.
apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.
his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

I'm hoping that this link will work.
A couple of you asked about my church's stance on abortion. Well when l thought about it , l didn't know !!
So a bit of Googling later - this letter sums it up .
