HOLY SHIT, allelsefails (your name is appropriate), I will take note, thank you. Jgnat, thank you for the advice. I am just staying abreast like you said, so that I could keep on my toes with the elders. DATADOG, I am in college and I finished my community college with Honors in half the speed. Honesty, I am just trying to maintain appearances. When I see the elders in the case of apostasy, I want to outwit them with their own knowledge, if at all possible.

I appreciate all of your counsel. What I am going to do, is seriously study the July WT this month (I am an "active" witness, but I don't even "eat" the food that the Org gives. I know its rubbish, so I don't even study it very much. The whole Christendom being pure is just fallacious, amongst other things, and I am not even scratching the surface). I am very hermited, but I am also an intellectual, so I expect to be targeted, unfortunately.

DETAILS: I am over 18, but noone knows about my disillusionment. I am a very hermited person. I live with my mom for now, but that's about it. Perhaps it is encouragement. But, I hope that I don't get screwed over or something like that.

Depending on the annual meeting, I may have to make my decision. Damn it.

So after the annual meeting, on Sunday, the elders want to talk with my family. I do not like this one bit. Perhaps I am being exposed. I am over 18 so if I think it is apostasy, they would talk to me privately, despite me being in my mother's home. I am really freaking nervous and I do not know what to think. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO TALK TO MY WHOLE FAMILY? Encouragement? Maybe, but they asked me to be there specifically (despite me not really having a "role" in the family, I just kind of live there). Consolation? Advice?

Once a nerd, always a nerd :)
by freeflyingfaerie infeelin' pretty groovy that i'm starting my college 'career' or what have you...with a 4.0. it is great to be back in school...to stimulate my mind in a college setting, get out of my cave for a bit, and maybe even eventually have the accomplishment of a degree.. or two..who knows... less than 10 years ago, this didn't even seem like a real possibility for me...because i didn't imagine it to be.
but, since the good ol' paradise didn't show up...i decided to create my own paradise (quirky and flawed as it may be) !
and this paradise includes educating my self in and out of school, being open to ideas and possibilities, experiencing things for myself, living until i die... .

I know this feel. Still in, and got my two year degree in one. Now I am going to a four year and try to do the best I can so I can get some security and fade out of the religion.

Why Still Go?
by Thoughtless infor those who are disfellowshipped or da'd, why do you guys still go to the kingdom hall?
i am just curious to the fact, because if they are teaching falsehood, why partake in it?
i mean, you do not have to maintain appearances any longer, so what is your motivation or reason?

TRUEE. I was really aiming at the DF'd or DA'd ones. I KNOW that there must be some who know the TTATT and must still be going to the Hall.

1009, I agree with you on that to an extent. When I comment, I try to comment on a point that doesn't bother my own personal conscience in regard to the faithful and discreet slave. When I first had doubts, it caused me a lot of turmoil, but it was what I call, a "shallow" questioning due to the fact that I wanted to realize my full potential, so ultimately it was selfish. Now, I have come to a more integral questioning, due to the fact that I am analyzing on the basis of doctrine. I do agree with neutrality, blood issue, as of evangelizing, I am unsure. When I say appearances, I mean appearance in the sight of the elders. I am pretty much independent too for I have almost no friends in the congregation except a really cool elder who is like 32. But to be honest, we are both exercising independent thinking, in which, makes us both apostates in the WTBS belief. Only difference is, that you seem more sincere than me at the moment.
