i just heard this about a co i knew back in the day before he was even a co. he must be in his mid-late 40's now, my mother told me the story as she knows the family very well (the entire family has gone 'apostate' including several elders, circuit overseers and missionaries - this was an "example" family, always on the stage etc).. he wasn't 'feeling well' so he took time off from his co duties.
that week he packed his suitcase, told his wife he can't do it anymore and he's leaving, leaves her the car and the house and went to live in a small apartment, bought a small car and a week later got a decent job.. this was very recent so not everybody within the org has heard yet what happened..
About 3 years ago a CO and his wife were on assignment with a congregation here didn't show up one morning for service. Wrote a brief letter saying they would not be back. The circuit was shocked. It's not that difficult to exit quickly if you get a plan together.
*clapping*
wifey says she wants to go to see the special effects.
i suspect she wants to go to see russell crowe.
if you want to see special effects watch gravity.
I'm taking my Dad to see it. I don't believe the story, but I like Russell Crowe, so it shouldn't be too bad for me.
the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .
"jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.
fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.
Love it!

against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.
he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.
i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.
Why are rumors and speculation about what teaching Watchtower will flip next exciting?
I don't get it. It's what they've always done.
gb member married at age 21 on march 28, 1956 in solano, california to eva daisylou mitchell from mendicino, california.

....or just recognize they will do what they want and take a break from analyzing and hanging on their words. I know some of you won't listen, but really folks- go enjoy your life and wait until they explain it. Finding out days or months ahead of the average dub or figuring out how it isn't quite scriptural is really not that important.
Sounds like a good plan to me
No matter what, It's a cult and deserves to be treated as such.
my oldest daughter is still in the cult.
i haven't seen my grandchildren in 5 yrs.
my son-in-law's father died this week & the funeral is today.
I'm nervous for you. Hope you get to hug and talk to them.
