  Update to: As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

  i just had a two-hour doctor's appointment (treatment for branch retinal vein occlusion) that requires screenings, scans, dilation, anesthetic and injection, etc.

  this makes it necessary to spend a lot of time in the waiting room..

  my former p.o., book study conductor and later field service overseer was there and greeted me in a friendly way.

  As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

  after listening to the hearings of the australian royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, i am no longer content to have simply walked away from the organization.

  as a matter of conscience, i do not want my name linked with the organization in any way.

  i know this letter has been posted previously, and i thank the author.

  No Natural Affection

  2. experiences

  do you remember how the wt society likes to quote the scriptures that say "the love of the greater number will cool off" in "the last days" and men will have "no natural affection"?

  they applied this to "worldly people".

  even before my exit i, used to think that scripture applied to members of the "christian congregation" too.. i haven't written to my jw mil in about a year and a half.

  Ever try to contact local "inactive publishers"?

  i'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried to contact inactive or disfellowshipped jws in their area.

  there are many faders in our area.

  there is also a large born-in family that had many leave who were labeled as apostates.
