  "Do not destroy" your file after reinstatement ...

  karl adams, writing department overseer, wrote a letter to president knorr (november 18, 1971), questioning the keeping of voluminous files containing embarrassing information on disfellowshipped persons.

  even after individuals were reinstated, their files were retained:.

  "at the present time the names of even those reinstated are kept in the file, and bulky records are kept of their cases, labeled 'do no destroy.

  I have to agree with this, in general. For any organization, for-profit, non-profit, religious, etc.
  
  If a person moves from congregation to congregation, or hangs around long enough in the same congregation to see several "shifts" of elders, then there would be a need to see if there was a pattern to their problems, without simply relying on the memory of the current elders.
  
  The above, of course, is to assist that 0.5% of elders who actually do the job of keeping the congregation clean correctly.

  i remember when i first left the religion and was open about it with work mates and friends.

  which, if you do not know what a deprogrammer is.

  it is a jackass who takes and tries to tell you that all you learned with the witness religion was wrong and pushes you to accepting his stupid version of christianity.

  I now only deal with those who "invite me in," as far as religious/spiritual information dissemination goes.

  This is one of the reasons I don't visit other churches. If I could be a fly on the wall, I would go to a few different ones every week. But no, 99.9999% of the time, people won't leave you alone.
  
  My response was based on someone needed to go back to the KH meeting for some reason, but insincerity has bugged me in a Holden Caulfield kind of way since I could remember.

  It depends.
  
  To be on the safe side, find another way to let them know that their insincere displays of agape used to draw you into their group are not appreciated.

  frankiespeakin:
  
  That is a common tactic among political types. They demonized you by making you appear more of a threat than you probably were. It underscored your "evil" to those present, and the official police records show that 8 officers were dispatched to deal with a very dangerous dissenter/apostate.

  Furthermore, with the release of this document verifying that the government would deem the "Jehovah Witness leader" dangerous in a martial law situation, people can more easily accept that the government keeps tabs on any and everyone, and the situations with individuals like Malcolm, Martin, and JFK become more clear.

  If you only knew:
  
  The government has plans in place for a lot of things. The National Guard doesn't protect us, for example. It's job is to protect the system from us.
