Tell us what you mean by "the ball has started rolling". Have you consulted a lawyer and he/she has told you you have a legitimate case?

I want you to research the Jehovah's Witnesses
for yourself. Be like the Bereans and don't just accept something that somebody tells you.
By this, the speaker means, "Scour the jw.org website that only has literature dating back 10 years, and then you will have all the proof you need that this is the trooof." - - In JDub land, "research" does not mean the inclusion of literature dating back to the beginning of the Watchtower religious bowel movement and CERTAINLY does not include outside information.What, are you crazy?

The UN Files - Print Out And Keep For Your Next JW Visitor
by pale.emperor ini've been researching the wt and the un involvement.
when i was still in and i first seen the un letter online, my cognitive dissonance kicked and i told myself it'll be a fake.
an apostate lie.. and seeing as no jw i've spoken to has ever heard of it, and flatly deny any involvement "no, they wouldn't do that", i decided to do a little "personal study" of my own.

I have, at one time or another, seen every one of those documents and heard every line of reasoning. But you laid them out brilliantly for anyone just learning about this.
Nicely done.

by Zoos inspoke with a fellow apostate from my own area.
she and i bailed out about the same time and kept in touch.. she used to do secular work with one of the local elders in his cleaning business until she got dfed.
this same elder was one of the more profound dickheads on my reinstatement committee, before i turned around two years later and daed.. business required her to contact the elder on behalf of an old client.

... there is a trend toward less giving in our Hall (I'm the Account Servant).Our Accounts went from $6000 a year ago and now around the $1000 mark.
This HAS TO BE a world-wide trend.

Spoke with a fellow apostate from my own area. She and I bailed out about the same time and kept in touch.
She used to do secular work with one of the local elders in his cleaning business until she got DFed. This same elder was one of the more profound dickheads on my reinstatement committee, before I turned around two years later and DAed.
Business required her to contact the elder on behalf of an old client. A conversation started between them and he related that he was fed up with a lot of what was happening. His wife has walked away from the org. He says he sees all the BS and has long since stopped donating money - calling what the GB is doing as "money grubbing". He claimed he used to be one of the biggest contributors in the congregation and now gives nothing. He still thinks there's truth there so he hangs on, but he's sick of it.
I listened to my friend relate this story and wondered how common it is.

I went through the entire range of emotions; rage-as I was leaving, calm-after I read CoC, curiosity-as I explored my new life, resentment-as I contemplated what WT stole from me, depression, elation, contentment... in no particular order.
I guess we call that a roller coaster.
Now, 5 years out (wow, I guess almost 6 now) I feel at peace with things but still find myself surprised as layers of old beliefs, patterns of thought, fall away, lightening my load, making life more and more pleasant every day.
Great to hear you're doing well. Just don't be surprised or disheartened if you hit a few more snags along the way.
