I like what Anony Mous and Smiddy said. The only the authority those men have over you is the authority YOU GRANT THEM. As long as they sense you fear them they will exploit it and you.
edit: Perhaps "fear" is not the correct word.

Finally sending a letter to the elders today
by Suraj Khan infigured i'd give them a shot to explain why i was expelled from the congregation 23 years ago without counsel or a jc.
dear sirs:.
i attended the xxxx congregation in the mid-1980s as a teenaged unbaptized publisher.

EVEN IF errors were made and decisions get reversed, my personal response to the entire situation would not include cozying back up to a family that shunned me and may now be trying to reach out just because the WT corporate bosses say it's okay now. People like that need to sit with the consequences of what they have done.
That's easy for me to say. I have absolutely no love anymore for the people who used to be family.

Thank you LORD for "12 years a Slave"... I'll explain why in a minute
by ILoveTTATT ini have said that i am agnostic... and i am... but i still believe that there's someone out there looking out for me.... anyways... on sunday i think that something coming very short of a miracle happened:.
i got a chance to thoroughly investigate the topic of mind control with my mother, without her getting upset at all, and i managed to record the entire conversation.
it lasted about an hour.

Drop the bomb!
by apocalypse ini had a chance to drop a bomb on a 'bro' that i have known many years.
you should'a been there.. (this is the second time in less than 2 months i have dropped this particular bomb on a bro and in this manner).
before i tell the story, which you will enjoy, note that i have remained "in" the org for many years after finding out the ttatt.. 1) for the sake of family (limited time left).

trespass at your own risk--so sayeth the governing body
by wannaexit inso another wonderful tract campaign will take place in november.
cities and towns will be inundated by a cheap bifold about the dead .. but the dubs are warned--if there is a "no trespassing sign" on a property enter at your own risk.
so says the letter from mother/gb that was read this week at the hall.

As a kid, in door-to-door service with mom, I saw a sign and asked, "What's 'soliciting'?"
"That's for people who sell things like vacuum cleaners."
"We're selling magazines." (At the time I think they were going for .10 each)
"No son. We're placing magazines."
"Ohh!" [grin]
