by thedepressedsoul inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/491270004/mass-disassociation-pact?size=10&page=15.
the topic above got me thinking.
everyone here can't send a disassociation letter due to family or other reasons.

12 june 2018 what to say
by LostAdam inhi eveyone, my sis told me something like where will i be after that day.
i couldnt realize at first what she meant, but i found this on net donald-trump-kim-jong-un-meeting-singapore-june-12/.
i found her reaction so pathetic, but i think she is really sorry for me leaving.. so how to do you reply to jw family or generally when news about world peace comes out?.

12/15 Study WT Questions From Readers - What to do with frozen embryos
by traveb indidn't see this posted already so i thought i would start a new topic.
three-page article about in vitro fertilization and what to do with frozen embryos.
the way i read it is everything to do with ivf is a conscience matter unless it involves a 3rd party then it's considered porneia.

Big elders meetings?
by road to nowhere ini hear of whole circuit meetings being held, taking all day.
maybe just usual yearly stuff, but it seems the local elders immediately held a followup.
i am sure it will be about better local control, more charity, kindness, that sort of thing.

Fading tactic that worked well for me
by traveb inif you read some of my past posts you’ll know that i’ve successfully faded while being able to keep contact with my immediate family, who are still very devout jws.
when i did finally completely stop attending meetings, my family, and especially my parents (elder father and pioneer mom), were of course very interested to know the reasons why.
at first i deflected their questions, stating that i had personal reasons and did not want to explain myself.

The Big Sick - movie discussion
by traveb ini watched this movie recently, which is about a pakistani immigrant living in chicago who falls in love with a white woman.
i was struck by the similarities to the jw culture when the main character experiences trials with his traditional muslim family.
essentially, he is shunned and his parents refuse to talk to him.
