this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.
"everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".
"also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.
So it's not like this anymore?
today i am working on writing my disassociation letter.
i successfully faded a year ago.
but i feel like i can't keep looking over my shoulder anymore i just need to be completely rid of this cult.. any suggestions on letter and it's content?.
Do you understand that if you DA it is the same as being DF and your family members are required to shun you?
Are you prepared to be cut-off from your mother and brother for good?
petra!
2015-12-17-boe already, you dear brothers have done so well, sending gifts both large and small.
for in-stance, two children, five and seven years old, sent their pocket money to help build our new bethel instead of going to the circus, writing, "this is much better than that!
Sorry WT! You will never again get our
circus $,
ice cream $,
Disney World $
Movie theater $
Popcorn $
candy $
grocery $
vacation $
education $
retirement $
The return on a WT investment is a big old heaping pile of GUILT as demonstrated by the OP.
Suck it WT! You will never get another dime from me! And shame on you for using children as pawns for your greed.

On the bright side, you can wear your shirt un-tucked, no jacket or tie required in the ministry.

If they wanted JWs to go where the need is greater, they should NOT have laid off all of the Special Pioneers. Am I right?
Screw em, I am keeping my puppy.
hi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.
Converted with family at age 5 in 1966
Baptized: 1978
Left: 2001
In for: 23 years
The internet played a big roll in my exit.
my middle brother called me a couple of hours ago.
our youngest brother, josh, who was 38, was found by his friends in his apartment.
he hung himself.
james woods has been a long time regular on this discussion group in all of its incarnations.. he had some kind of "heart-attack" and has been in dallas' emergency ward for several days.
he also has a blood clot doctors are working to break up.. 972-261-4412 is his cell number.. he was in a talking mood yesterday afternoon.. i bet it wouldn't kill him to get some well-wishes.. james goes back a long way as an ex-jw.
he knows where the bodies are buried :).
fwd from anon:.
dear brothers,.
we are happy to provide you with a brief progress update on the warwick project and explain how you can assist with a major adjustment recently approved in our construction schedule.
We have a saying in project management. Better, Faster, Cheaper. Pick 2. If you want faster, then you must either pay more or cut corner on quality to get it done faster.
Could they be wanting to move up the completion date before their next annual meeting?
