BC:
So then they are saying that the GT and armageddon already happened?
So christ became present in 1914....1975 began the 1000 year reign...when did GT and armageddon happen? Somewhere between those years?
Side note: how in the world do current witnesses rationalize and keep up with this stuff?? wow wow WOW.

That 37 year into 1000 year reign thing....when did the GT happen then? In 1975? Is that what they are suggesting?
Or is 1975 the new 1914?
being an adult, i choose not to attend the meetings.
i would prefer my children not attend meetings, however being married to a diehard jw, this is difficult to accomplish.
the kids do not want to attend, as the meetings are boring, as they have often said.
How does all this affect the relationship between you and your hubby painted?
You could answer that in a pm if you wish.
i have wrote six pages so far it seems the more i write the more i have to say .i have many mixed thoughts its frustrating to have to go this.
i wish i could just fade but that is not possable.
how long were your letters?.
wow you have a wife and a toddler. It's going to be tough unstop, count on it.
I've been DA'd since 1998, and just this morning my mom was on the verge of tears, pleading with me to speak with one of the elders, trying to convince me to come back into the fold.
It's not easy seeing that, but I finally reached a point about it where I can comfortably but lovingly take a stand.
I wish you the best.

you will definitely need counseling unstop. plan for it. otherwise you will spend years making bad decisions because of unresolved pain.
the WT has betrayed us. this causes hurt. hurt can cause a large of amount of things to go wrong in our lives.
please consider it.

Ponder this: Being DF'd or inactive is very different from being an Apostate.
this is true. being df'd means you are an unrepentant sinner, being inactive means you are spiritually weak. the end result is the same though: you will be shunned.
what it boils down to then, unstop, is how do you want those who shun you to see you/label you. If you don't give a rat's behind, go ahead and write your letter and call it a day.
to answer your original question, my letter was 5 or 6 pages long. looking back, I could have shortened it significantly.
Perhaps you find yourself coming up with more things to say because you are still subconsiously working out your reasons. That's fine.
Do this: write a little at time, stop for a while, then go back to it. Repeat that as often as necessary, as long as it takes.
Then once you are satisfied with having said everything you want to say, start proofreading and editing.
Lastly, before you sign and seal your final draft, wait a full 2 days before mailing it or handing it in. Re-read it, then go for it.
My 2 cents.
the whole world is going to die soon except us..
The GB is god
the storm was much more intense and killed many more in the caribbean and yet i see practically nothing mentioned about them here or in the media.. .
pathetic..
mp are you friggin kidding me??

SO some americans dont have electricity, big deal some in the carib have a lot less. Their countries have absolute no resources to help them.
which is why we're helping them, even through our own devastation.
again keep in mind the sheer numbers of people. NYC alone has a population of over 8 million. how many live in the Caribbean, and out of that number how many were directly affected by the hurricaine?

Before this gets out of hand let me just say that there are many Americans, especially in the NY/NJ area, who have family and significant ties in the Caribbean and are plenty concerned and are doing what they can to help. One cripple is helping another, but we're managing to do it anyway. The media just doesn't pick up on that.
Considering just the sheer size of the NYC-mid Atlantic region, to not have petrol and electricity for many days at a time is a very big deal, especially when other regions depend heavily on ours for many things.
