hey, this thread is nothing new so i don't wanna get too personal but i'm happy to announce that i am apart of the 33% club!!

i sent in my da letter this past wednesday (again actually, i sent it in the week before but i got hit with the old 'return to sender') and i sent the letter up to the hq instead.

i did courteously mark it as re: disassociation for whatever lackey got it, but i did request in the letter not be contacted.

Fate of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Thoughtless in
1. jw
2. friends
it disheartens me the most when there is a possibility that faithful, hardworking, honest witnesses may be destroyed or be put out of god's favor.

a lot of brothers and sisters have risked their lives because they thought they were doing the right thing to please them.

so for those who still believe in god/afterlife, do you think that these witnesses are out of god's memory?

Why Still Go?
by Thoughtless in
1. jw
2. experiences
for 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?

hello, sorry for the multiple posts, but this has also been a question of mine to ask.. .

Dualism in new WT theology?
by Thoughtless in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am not the most "deep" wt student, and i am trying to beef up on wt theology so i can reassess my belief system and prove to myself that what i am planning to do is the right thing.

but what i lack in wt theology knowledge, i make up in some philosophical knowledge.

wt theology teaches a purely physicalist standpoint, in which our soul is limited to our bodies, no spirit.
