i phoned my sister and she told me that yesterday the two elders visited her again.
she lives in a latin country (as i do).
and as i shown before, just two weeks ago, these elders visited my sister because she is not attending the meetings.
Your sister is very intelligent. Too intelligent for these elders.
I tell you, to try to show the elders the organisation was wrong on so many things is actually a waste of time. Finally they will come with the loyalty question 'Do you believe the faithful and discreet slave is gods channel.' If she answers with no, they will df her for apostasy if she talks to another brother or sister about it.
it's about a year since i started visiting this website.
it all started with the july 15 wt last year and all the changes.
lazy me had not read it online so when one bro said to me at the hall, 'have you read all the new stuff in that issue' i didn't know what he was talking about.
It might be better to resign for health reasons (worn out) or that you want to spend more time with your family.

I was also an elder and I tried to figure out how I could resign.
One day I told my wife that due to doubts I have I can no longer be an elder. I called the Cobe and wrote a letter of resignation due to doubts.
I had to explain everything to the CO and then it was such a liberating feeling not being an elder anymore. Like a huge wheight lifted from my shoulders.
Over about 1 year the elders tried to reason with me on my doubts afterwards. But if you stand firm they will loose the interest.
When I look back I gave them too much authority. I should have said. My faith is between me and Jehovah. There is no need for lengthx discussions.
always the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".
he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.
stephen lett of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses demonstrating how to wear a pinkie ring.
I asked my mum (who saw that video at the convention today) what she thinks about Stephen Lett.
She answered. "Oh yes, he makes gestures with all his face. He is such a passionate speaker. I would have loved to meet him and talk to him. He must be such a friendly and passionate person."
I replied. "...and he loves big rings on little fingers."
we have just published a new article at ajwrb entitled:.
watchtower approved blood transfusions.
http://ajwrb.org/watchtower-approved-blood-transfusions.
Thank you so much Lee Elder.
It is a great article. It is a great help for any JW who is researching about the blood doctrine.
in the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.
it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.
we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.
I am proud of you. You did the right thing.
Continue to show neighbourly love in your life.
You said you don't celebrate holidays. Maybe reconsider birthdays. Jobs sons celebrated birthdays according to Job 1:4 and Job 3:1. The bible doesn't say a word against it.
Good luck... you will find some new friends.
can't...tear...my...eyes...away.... .

When a brother goes on stage at an international convention, every detail what he says and how he looks like is monitored.
If a gb member like Lett is giving a talk in a video, even more every little detail has a meaning. Like the pillars in the background or even his tie.
During that video he shows many times his big 'pinky' ring on his right little finger.
What the hell is that ring supposed to mean?
In the 50s to 70s it was a sign for homosexuality.
Or I also read somewherw it could be a sign for intelligence.
Whatever the meaning, this video shows plain clear how intelligent this fellow is.
I am wondering what the thousands in attendance of the international conventions think personally of that clown.
the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

You posts and stories are just awesome...
i have been inactive for going on five years after an accerated fade.
my wife followed shortly after.
we recently went to visit her parents that know that we don't go to the meetings, and it bothers them but they don't know what to do, as they really can't do much.
You have a great daughter.
like all the best comedy this is hilarious and agonising in equal measure.. if you have not bookmarked the jehovah's trumpet blog do it now.. shunning makes us joyful .... "fiends, we are the happiest people on earth because of true worship, and this includes the practice of shunning our closest loved ones...".
Now I read some other jehovahstrumpet blogs.
Great satire.
Just hilarious the stoey about the conjoined twins.
