  so while making a you tube video of my dad today, i came across this in a dvd of home movies from way back, i didn't even know about it... originally shot on super 8 film, shot off screen with camcorder in 1992, with open mic, transfered to dvd in 2010 .. made to you tube in 2013.... check out the food service, without paper plates no less .. it's only a couple minutes on convention then, a little seatle conventions were a family vacation when we were growing up ... .

  I'm quite familiar with Seattle, nice to see some shots of the city taken way back when.

  What year was that taken?

  I wonder what stadium it was held in.

  my name may be a bit premature...because i'm actually still active within the org, but i guess you could say i've already "left" in my heart.

  i'm just scared to take the first steps, because i don't know any "ex's" in my neck of the woods, and i'm very scared of loosing my family.

  i just need someone to talk to.. .

  Welcome,

  It sounds like the best thing you can do is take it slow and start a gradual fade. Depending on your circumstance, you could fiegn some sort of malady like depression or anxiety. These work well because so many of the rank and file witnesses have either or both of these.

  My fade was based on my high blood pressure which I did have while on the watchtower wheel (two BP medications per day) down to one small med now and now BP problems.

  Depending on how close you are to your family this tactic may very. Use your imagination on what excuses you start to use for missing meetings.

  Welcome James,

  I too was an elder for more then twenty years when in 2006 I raised some questions about the no blood/fractions OK policy I was quickly removed as PO then after a visit from a CO was removed as an elder. We're glad to have you here stay strong and be patient, the truth about the truth will be revealed to you and you will be free.

  Chance doesn't create things and I don't know how things are as they are but I'm sure you must know how it all happened.

  Please tell us we can't wait.
