  Was Drifting Away or Outrightly Leaving Easier Than You Thought?

  For me it was very painful to drift away. What they did to my son, and the lying to us, turned me away. As I slowly drifted away I started to find out the truth about the truth. The slow drift and the fading away was quickened by my moving out of state away from headquarters. It pains me that the friends that I left behind do not know the reasons why my family has gone.

  Maybe someday I will visit the old neighborhood and see some of the local friends and explain what really happened and why.

  The Elders came by yesterday.

  by Save My Soul in

  the loving elders came by and asked me to come back to the hall with my family.

  they sincerely believe that the end is near.

  these changes are evidence of it.

  Attendance is down all over. They are playing the end is near card again to get attendance up. It's always been a numbers game with them.

  When the C.O. comes he checks the numbers and percentages as a litmus test as to how the Elders are doing with the flock's attendance at meetings and in the field service.

  Numbers determind the spirituality of the Elders and congregation. It has nothing to do with the end is near. It's all about do more do more then do more. Get those numbers up for the next Yearbook.

  Hershey's Special Dark mildly sweet chocolate. We eat it cold from the refridgerator after dinner while watching a movie. It tastes better cold as it melts in your mouth. And it's good for your heart.

  i have been approved to write the cover story for local newspaper about jehovah's witnesses.

  it can't be any more than 2,500 words.

  this newspaper has a huge reader-base.

  DB. A suggestion for some material you might find interesting to use backed up with facts is Don Cameron's book 'Captives of a Concept.' You can pick out some good material from it.

  "You will never get sick. You will never grow old. And you will never die." Anatomy of an Illusion...Captives of a Concept....Understanding the Illusionary concept that holds Jehovah's Witnesses captive....There is only one thing that needs to be known about the Watchtower Society and there is only one way to know it.

  Go to members directory and pull up Don's site and there is much info that you can find there. You can also order and read his book on line or get your own copy.

  Pm Don and he will be helpful.

  Parlay, very good questions. May I suggest two very important questions you might ask next? # 1 ) What is the most important Scripture in Watchtower Theology? # 2 ) What is the most important event in Watchtower history? Do you know?

  A former assembly Hall overseer

  by parlay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  had the nerve to counsel teddy j of the gb about the unkind way things were communicated.

  to the assembly hall staff, citing the counsel the service department wasn't following it's own advice .

  they give to elders about treating the friends with kindness and respect.
