"People often wonder if deaf people can drive, get married, or raise a family."
by cedars ini've personally never wondered that, but apparently some people do.... (see 00:40 in the video below).

Is it common to,,,
by label licker inhave a local needs on apostasy, have everyone shun you, have no shepherding calls since you left for over a year, and now a jc tomorrow evening????????.
spoke to branch committee as well as co and they said to go and if we were treated unfairly then to call the co. don't get it.
the co would have known about the local needs talk on apostasy and says if we were treated unfairly to call him.

It depends on if you are just trying to fade quietly, or you just don't care anymore. Record it somehow for Raypublisher/JJ at JWStruggle.
Walk in there with a s#!tload of watchtower literature, books, bibles and if they're on a 'witch hunt' then give it to them with both barrels. Do you have a 1969 Kingdom Interlinear? Romans 10:13 is a good one. It shut our elders up. Take control of the meeting, don't let them have the upper hand. We never brought up anything 'apostate'. We only used WT literature and the Kingdom Interlinear.
Our lawyer said that we are entitled to legal representation if this is a judicial committee and if not, they are violating our civil rights.
Hope this helps.

memorial attendance
by drawcad_1 ini just looked at the september issue of the km and they are proud to admit that the attendance in the united states for the memorial, on march 26, was 2,504,114 for 2013. that is about 2,000 more than last year.
looks like things are slowing down rapidly.
i know that there was not a big increase last year from the year before and it was speculated that it was becuase it was on a weekday.

Thanks for the info.
How many millions of hours did JW's spend handing out Memorial invitations for just 2,000 people to show up?

Introduction
by XPineProcessionary ini've been active on the jwr site for a few months now and thought i'd introduce myself here, as well.
long story short we served in ecuador and south korea, and in several "need greater" (vomit) places in the usa.
we got our necks cut off for putting ourselves out there, which was a good thing in the end, since it helped us to see that the gb is self-serving.

Welcome Xpine! Glad to have you here with us. Those things you mentioned were some of the things that made Hubby [Brother of the Hawk] & I see also. The organization is nothing but a bunch of 'Company' men that are bullies. They protect whomever has the most to offer them and care nothing about justice.
Peace on your journey to your new life

by Newly Enlightened init's only about 8 minutes long.
but he brings up the child abuse policies and cover ups and was disfellowshipped for being an 'apostate & liar'.

That part about non-reporting states made me really mad. It may not required LEGALLY, but what about ethically? What a bunch of Richard Craniums. [For those of you not from the U.S, PM if you can's figure out what I mean by Richard Craniums]

intel on warwick project
by stuckinamovement inthe committee assigned to build the new complex was called into a meeting with the governing body.
they were told " you finish this project by january 1 2017. we want the keys to the complex and will be headquartered there by that date, do you understand?".
when the brothers protested and said that it would take 6 years for the project to be complete and if they moved that fast there would be many mistakes, the gb responded, "we don't care, that is your deadline".

First post venting
by Freethinking76 inhello ,i am a jw,been in the "truth " for about 6 years.i have to be very careful because i know the witnesses monitors sites and report to the elders ,i know cause that is what my blood sister does,she spends hours trying to find apostates in the closet.i know stuped.. so this is my situation.i have known about jw almost all my life and heard that only them have the truth,lots of my family are in it.i was the one taking too long to baptize ,i knew it was expected from me.and i always had a need to make ppl like me .so i took the dip.i started to notice that there are lots of jws that belong to little groups.i wanted friendship so bad and at the time had a need o tell ppl about my horrible childhood traumas i guess i was not over it yet,and needed some to lisent since i had drove my spouse nuts already .what happend this ppl pretend to want to be close to me so they can know all my business and then tell everyone at the hall.then you realize uhhh,they never confided their personal stuff to me.is like a game " you can tell me your stuff,but do not expect me to keep it to myself and do not think i will tell you my dirty laundry.a lot of mind games.. so i was alone ,invisible ,i still can't believe i put up with so much !
i can't wright not even half of what i when through.i feel paranoic now.so i came across a youtube video by jwstruggle and blow my mind ,now i can't stop researching,my spouse is not a jw,and is very shock too.so i decided that i want to fade,i guess it won't be so hard since the sis and brothers did not had a close relationship with me.i have kids and i suffer from pts ,anxiety attacks,panick attacks and severe depression.i moved to the next town of my hall,so i have change hall too.i have not been to my new hall,and wanted to know,will the elders in my old hall contact the elders in my new hall just to see if i am attending?..
my spouse told me " i will tell them i am not letting you go" "and "i found out that your liars!
