a warm and friendly hello to all !!.
i've been lurking and learning for a few months.
former elder who drifted away due to congregation hyprocrisy and politics.. went through many of the feelings of inadequacy and/or lack of confidence for a while but the longer i was away the stronger i became.. i'll tell more about myself later but right now i want to thank all of your for sharing your thoughts and comments.. it's truly amazing how bright the light can get when you really learn the truth and get out of the "organization".

well it looks like my plan to fade might not work after all.
yesterday afternoon i was in my office when two elders stopped by for a visit.
they came into my job and began to question me in front of my boss and my new assistant!
That is typical JW rudeness. They should have been physically removed. They are so evil. See this picture of the two elders.
i have to say it is richie rich!!
!
Blondie is mine she always has a fast and right answer. I think she is a walking computer
name good excuses that should be good enough to miss a meeting but not good enough for the elders...
I don't want to go.
as follow up to my last post (sorry it didn't all paste from my word document for some reason) i'd like to ask a question.
some of us have now seen how sickoflies jc committee meeting went, and i know alot on here have there own experiences.
so my question is this: i have been a non-baptized publisher (born in jw's) for almost my entire life.
Welcome Saru, enjoyed your comments, stick around.
Drive careful no speeding
i am curious if anyone still calls their god jehovah.
when i think of jehovah all i can think of is what they taught me.
it was true at first i felt a much more personal and stronger relationship with god when giving him a name, however certain things they taught forced me to see him as a cold and unloving god.
Our Father who art in heaven, not Jehovah. not even mentioned in NT.
Welcome Paul see all the friends you have here. Spill your guts if you feel like it, we listen.
she found an envelope with my name and "personal & confidential" typed on it taped to the door of our apartment.
i asked her to open it and read it, and evidently there is some evidence of apostacy that they want to review with me this saturday (4-21-06) at 7:30 pm.. the funny thing is that i have not been to a meeting since 1993, the last time i was at a circuit assembly or district convention was 1995!
i know that i have been spotted going to my church (3 blocks from the king-dumb hell).
My vote don't go. You're in a no win situation so no use playing by their rules. I would also claim that someone other then you opened the letter and ask them if they do not believe in the privacy act.
i don't mean by the r&f dubs, but loved ones and friends?
and do you regret leaving the organization because of this?.
i am being shunned by twin daughters.
I am being shunned by three daughters and my parents who both died shunning me. But still glad I am free from the borg.
