DA letter sent... It was weird!
by Mandrake inwell i was telling you days ago that i wrote my da letter... i decided to deliver it myself to the elders.
it'a been about a year i didn't show up nor talk to the majority of old friends.
one of my best friends (who's is 2-3 years older than me, i'm 25) is now an elder... some times i don't understand him, he's an engineer from a prestigious university (the most prestigious universities here in chile, are 2, the one from where he got his degree and the one i'm attending)... he even red crisis of conscience and has doubts... but still endured inside.. my congo were based in our historic city downtown, so our territory was small... i parked my car near the hall and walked near for a while while the meeting was over.

DA: Today I used my typewriter and fountain pen
by Mandrake inlast week my mother (i live with her) gave me some clues that she finally awoke, and well, that came to be true and we now speak openly against many many things i considered taboo to talk to her.
so with that achieved, it was time for a delayed duty, i took my typewriter one wrote my da letter, and signed it with my favorite fountain pen, with my "trade mark" royal blue ink (everyone in the hall knew me for using that color and type of pen).
i will hand it to the elders tomorrow, in february 14th, the "day of love".

did you assist to 2009 international assembly in chile?
by Mandrake ini've been curious.
yesterday i discarded a lot of ugly souvenirs from that convention, i remember that i was at the santiago airport (my dad worked there) and i was assigned to translate and guide brothers through customs and many other processes.
i still have some led keyring flashlight david splane gave to me (he was at the time advising against college but next year i applied anyway) and i decided to conserve the visit card i got from gerrit losch and wife.

Last night earthquake
by Mandrake inlast night i was in my car returning to santiago from vina del mar (the seaside) and waiting the green light the 8.4 earthquake started!
it lasted 2 minutes!!!
some people were scared, most acted calmly... so that brings to my memory what was to be a jw in the most seismic country in the world!

Got rid of some things, I feel relieved
by Mandrake inwell after a long way out, and the divorce of my jw parents, and a long internal struggle, i'm finally living with my mother, openly said to her that i'm not a jw anymore, she's ok with that and getting more and more open-minded every day.
today i visited my self storage space wich i rented after the family split and got rid of all the jw related stuff, my mother only asked me to keep the insight the scriptures volumes... i felt very relieved after disposing those things, one by one, not feeling, i hope my mother is her way to wake up soon :) greetings from santiago, chile!
(you will see some magazines in spanish others in english because i was in the list for the english versions hahaha)

How to disassociate? HELP
by Mandrake ini'm looking for a way to disassociate myself, now i'm thinking to make a "public declaration" before a civil law notary (i'm in chile), but i need some ideas about what to put in that declaration, i would like to look the "ks" book to cover all possible sides and make a solid declaration... any experiences?
my plan is to make that legal declaration that would say "i'm no longer consider myself a jehovah's witness nor want to be linked to any of the wt organizations or legal entities, and want all my personal records to be erased"... any orientation will be helpful :).
