  so i usually get dressed for school at my job.

  i couldn't today so i figured i'd drive by my parent's house and ask if i could change there seeing as they live two blocks from my house.

  as i am pulling up to my parent's i see a familiar face.

  Take the Kingdom back to Mexico!

  if donald trump wins the presidency, about 90% of the jws in my area will have to go back to mexico.

  the watchtower will be having a fire sale on kingdom halls.

  if trump became president and he followed through on his policy of sending back undocumented immigrants, would that affect the jws publisher numbers big time in the united states?

  Every person that enters this country ( USA ) without permission is, by default, a criminal.

  Sorry if definitions of words offend. Illegal=criminal.

  Trump appears to WANT the laws enforced. Most want that.
  ( as the majority, supposedly, approved the laws by legal channels )

  This country needs a good shake up or it will not survive.
  Trump may be the LAST chance for the USA.

  i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

  ( "reaching out", so to speak ).

  i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

  I would like to show up with open cameras and crew to record it. Why not?

  I got this goofy e-mail from the previous COBE this morning:

  Trekkor:
  I am not sure why you keep sending me these emails since I am in New York and not in the best position to be involved with whatever you are dealing with. Although I have not read any of the material and links that you have sent me, it is obvious that you are not interested at this time in the truth and serving Jehovah. I viewed you as a friend and it pains me greatly to see the course you have taken. Although I do not approve of or respect your current views, I remain hopeful that one day you will come back to the truth and once again serve Jehovah with the earthly part of his organization. Until that time, I would appreciate it if you would stop emailing me. Also, I am not forwarding the information you sent me, nor am I reading it. So if someone needs to receive it other than me, it would be best if you forwarded it to them yourself.
  I appreciate you respecting my wishes, and just confirm, please do reply to this email.

  So here's the plan:

  I'm NOT going to attend any JCs.

  I have sent the JC summons to a few key JW gossip monsters. The virus is in the system.
  Word will spread like wild fire. Apostate! Apostate!

  If they announce me, everyone will already know ahead of time and what for.
  DFing for apostasy is super rare. It will get everyone's attention in the circuit.

  And?

  Some may start to think and wonder how this could be possible, as I was well liked, a MS, aux pioneer, went out on talks every month, did the stage at the assemblies, blah blah...

  "How long was he an apostate"?
  "Why did Jehovah appoint him or let him be a MS"?
  "He seemed so strong"
  "I wonder what made him leave the truth"

  If they don't announce me, the gossip will ramp up. They will not be able to comprehend how I dodged the elders.

  One way or another I will make sure a copy of the cease and desist letter is in each of the JC elder's hands, as well as the COBE. Their decision will be based both on how seriously they take my letter and the two calls from the sheriff in four days.

  
  

  Any predictions and why?

  
  

  I say they have to announce me.

  I'm happy no matter what happens as long as my wife remains my friend.

  They don't get it...

  Certified mail from the very elder the officer spoke to directly on Friday afternoon at 12:40 pm from my yard.

  
  

  I called another Sheriff deputy who called them and issued another "stern warning".

  Anybody busy on Monday night for a good time in Napa?

  Camera men?

  little help i'd like to pass on from another cult survivor to me.. not jw but a violent, physically captive indian cult.. she says on anger:.

  it's the longest lasting emotion with have.. it takes at least 90 seconds for it to run it's course once we stop.a lot can happen in 90 seconds, and some of the most horrible exchanges and actions happen right after the anger first manifests itself.. we're experiencing fantastic results by just going for a very short walk ( 90 seconds out in the yard or other room ) before continuing the conversation.. when my wife and i come back together we can smile, embrace and congratulate each other for avoiding a horrible day.. before it even becomes anger, wait 3-5 seconds before making your reply.

  slow it down!!

  If I honestly take a good hard look at my biggest mistakes and embarrassing moments in life, they most often happened while angry.

  If I can keep from getting angry, I'm golden.

  A lot can happen in 90 seconds, and some of the most horrible exchanges and actions happen right after the anger first manifests itself.

  We're experiencing FANTASTIC results by just going for a very short walk ( 90 seconds out in the yard or other room ) before continuing the conversation.

  When my wife and I come back together we can smile, embrace and congratulate each other for avoiding a horrible day.

  Before it even becomes anger, wait 3-5 seconds before making your reply. SLOW IT DOWN!! We imagine there is limited time and we are in some sort of hurry. Not true!
  

  Building a loving and lasting relationship takes constant work.
  There are no short cuts, so making time for our lover is top priority.

  Have a great day!

  It's a high powered "Cease and Desist" letter.

  Let's lighten things up a bit shall we, and brainstorm some both positive a ridiculous ways to serve the letter to the BOE?

  Remember the assembly soliloquies? ( dumb )

  "The wrong way to witness/be a witness and now the correct way to protect against saddening our god"...

  So I'm looking for both the wrong and right ways to deliver the goods.
  ( please make the funny )
  I'm exhausted and could really use a good laugh!
  Are you with me?

  I'll post what method I eventually use and "how it turned out".
