what happened to 'leaving' the congregation?
by Pleasuredome inthe last time i read 'do you shun former members?
' at http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htm i'm sure it said that people could 'simply leave without being shunned' or something along them lines.
am i wrong or has this been changed recently?

Do you think the governing body sincerely believe what they teach?
by AJN ini haven't had a chance to read crisis of conscience yet, it's a 2 month wait here unfortunately for delivery and i feel it will probably answer some of my questions regarding the gb but it occurs to me - i wonder if they *really* believe what they teach, if they *really* believe it's the truth or are they really manipulating money makers operating a dysfunctional mlm scheme that ruins people's lives.
or perhaps somewhere in the middle lol.. oh yeah, and if anyone knows how the 'new light' is supposedly delivered i'd love to hear about it.. what do you think?
if anyone has read coc and has any quotes that might be useful please post :)

Help - it's drawing me in again
by AJN inhmm, not sure how to write this - here goes:.
i left the jw's about 15 years ago however my 18 year old son is a witness.

Taking stock of my blessings....
by Dawn ini've been df'd for a number of years, and up until recently have been able to maintain a fairly close relationship with my parents.
dad passed away a few years back and since then i have tried to keep my mom busy so she wouldn't be alone - phone calls, shopping, dinner, etc - and i took care of things around her house for her.
well now mom has decided that she needs to follow the wt rules and cut the "socializing" with me - of course, it's "acceptable" for me to still go take care of her when she needs it .

Circuit Assembly Report
by Hapgood incoming out of the lurking mode to give you all a report on the 2 day ca that i attended this past weekend.
i always enjoy other reports that have been posted so i thought i would share my observations.
i attend with my jw hubby to keep him company so he doesn't have to go alone, that's the only reason that i go.. i didn't take any notes, so i'm doing this by memory.

JWs and making decisions
by dmouse ini was interested in two articles in the watchtower of october 15th 2003.
both articles give an insight into decision making as a jehovah?s witness.
i found the juxtaposition of them quite interesting!
