Jst2laws: I could have used a brother like you last year, but how
would I have known you? There may have been those in my own
congregation feeling as you do, but we would never have felt free
enough to talk. The few who called me after I stopped going to
meetings (10/17/00) were wts through and through. I tested the
water a bit with them then backed away when they spouted the org
line.I disassociated last February (announced in March); my reasoning
may have been faulty but I wanted to set the example for my
daughters and show them life outside the wts. My younger daughter
has researched cults on the internet all on her own and told me
the other day the wts is a cult, it fits the profile of one. My
older daughter has decided to stop pioneering for a while and go
to college. I see these as positive steps toward thinking for
themselves.All I ever told them was what I told the PO in my DA letter..I no
longer agree with everything the wts teaches. It doesn't matter
what it is that I disagree with because there isn't anything one
can disagree with and still remain a member. The latest on
disagreement came out in an article this past summer...you are not
to even harbor thoughts that are in disagreement with the fds.The scriptural foundation that I want for my daughters is faith
in Christ Jesus and I taught them that long before we were sucked
into the wts cult.I pray you have success in your endeavors.Libby
