We have been invited to JC which we have refused to attend. We have been told a JC will be held Tuesday AM and a decision will be held in our absence.
Our xmas lights next year will be fantastic, as will our jack-o-laterns at halloween.
I actually feel really good about it as does nugget. She might post something later today. Nugget will post more later as I have a 3 hour drive ahead of me in a short while.
.......And so started their descent.

Congrats!
If I remember correctly you work with alot of witnesses and were talking to HR about this. Any update on that? (If I'm wrong and confused you with someone else, I apologize)
To celebrate why don't you put up your Christmas lights a little early this year, say about 11 1/2 months early.
welcome to your REAL life!
even if you will lose "friends" and family will consider you "dead
once you realize that families disintegrate for all sorts of reasons*
then you will be able to get on with a REAL LIFE and be genuinely
happy, not wasting your life waiting for the BIG A.....
cheers! get busy living!
* ( i have an estranged brother whose proclivities could have led to
entanglements with federal agencies who would love to make him
a guest of their penal system.... no one i wanted around my kids!!)
" families disintegrate for all sorts of reasons*"

Happy New Year!!! Holiday lights and fireworks!!!!
hi all I will start with a word or warning to you all. I always post here on private and yet my posts have been read and printed off. I guess we always know we had lurkers with malicious intent and frankly I didn't know I was important enough to be spied on but obviously I am.
I am sad that private conversations and thoughts can be used to condemn a person but not surprised. I just hope that the people took the time to read them rather than skip over to all the juicy stuff.
The elders came on a Sunday afternoon with both the children at home and invited us to a Jc. Unfortunately as my son was here I had no option but to answer otherwise he would have answered the door himself.
We were invited to a JC and I was told I had to answer for the posts here and Cantleave for his previous damning correspondence. I told them I was surprised they deemed a JC appropriate bearing in mind my husband's fragile mental state and the fact that he was away but they could do as they wished we would not be attending.
They told me that Satan was influencing all sources of spiritual food except the organisation the society was using. I told them that judgement starts at the temple for good reason and it was arrogant to suppose that gods organisation could not also be corrupted. After all Jehovah has demonstrated that he doesn't stick with an organisation once for all time each one must be worthy of that honour, which is why he switched from the Jews and why there has not been a consistent representative through the ages.
They wanted me to DA myself but I told them it was their organisation and their job to determine membership of it and if they felt that because I had doubts I no longer fit the criteria then they had to right to do as they wished. I was happy in the knowledge that everyone must come before god on the basis of their own merits and I was happier to leave it with him than them.
I also stated that what I had published on a private forum was just that and since I had not attempted to corrupt other witnesses then the use of it to condemn me was spurious.
I have pre-warned the family my elders wife sister had difficulty not putting the phone down and behaved as expected. I told her I would always love her but knew this would be hard for her I told her I could not follow an organisation that lied. She told me that I was being DF'd for unrepentance and she said if that was my attitude she wasn't surprised. It makes me sad but I was like her once now she is the only staunch JW in the family. Religion should always be a force for good not this, if I needed anything to convince me they are wrong this was it.
