i believe i have set the wheels in motion for what i believe will lead to my disfellowshiping.
i have been inactive since 1987 and still getting along with the witnesses (invited to gatherings etc.
) but something came up that finally push my buttons just enough to make me explode.
would you mind reproducing more of the letter here? wed probably like to see. having been inactive so long, i suspect they will be in no hurry to DF you, especially if you make noise about legal repurcussions. there are others here with more experience in these matters that will no doubt be able to advise you.
thx

(from the link : http://www.un.org/moreinfo/ngolink/brochure.htm).
i wouldnt want to inundate them with mail but has anyone made inquiry to the DPI-NGO asking how WTB&TS qualified as one of the organizations that "Share in the ideals of the UN Charter" and that has committed "to devote a portion of their information programmes to promoting knowledge of the United Nations' principles and activities."

10 releases in a month and none in the month since? do they not show up right at the release date so that they simply havent posted the releases since 8/6 yet? or are there actually no releases for that period? could someone who visits this site often comment on whether this is unusual or not?

i noticed this in the wt where the study article was this week.
i didnt see this posted here (apologies for the spam if it was) but im sure it would interest some here.
this is from an article about tolerance, one of the articles from the 'liberals,' as maximus would say.. of course, we need to avoid being overly tolerant.

Of course, we need to avoid being overly tolerant. For instance, terrible damage is done when religious authorities tolerate abusive priests who persistently molest boys and girls. "Treating the children as occasions of sin," commented one reporter in Ireland, "the church authorities merely moved on the offending priest [to another location]."Is just transferring such a man an example of proper tolerance? Hardly! Suppose a medical body allowed an irresponsible surgeon to continue operating, transferring him from one hospital to another, even though he was killing or maiming his patients. A mistaken sense of professional loyalty might produce such "tolerance." But what about the victims whose lives were lost or adversely affected because of negligent or even criminal practices?
consider a cult like the wtbts with the control turned up a little bit and with a touch of racism added.. -> http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/main09042001.htm
You've got someone at the top who claims to have a direct pipeline to God and no accountability. When you have those two premises, you've got a deadly combination.They preach that the end of the world is coming very soon. This gives the group a real crisis mentality. It creates urgency and that's a very useful tool for Mr. Spriggs.
While state governments regulate home-schooling programs, children of the Twelve Tribes don't receive high school diplomas. They also aren't allowed to seek out high school equivalency degrees or go to college.
Children aren't allowed to fantasize, pretend or have toys. Magazines, TV, radio and music are banned and independent thought is considered sinful.
Doctors are rarely used, children aren't given vaccinations and they teach that it's acceptable to lie to those who don't deserve the truth - including the courts, social workers, police officers and the media.
"It's like a big mind game. You don't have any choice (for) yourself," Zeb said. "They subtly control you. When everyone's that controlled, the elders have a lot of power. They really don't care about other people, they just want authority."
wow, i cant imagine what that must be--oh, wait a minute.

i cant get to this no matter what i try. both using the url directly and going thru the navigation on msn, i always get this error when i try to sign-in to passport:
Passport does not recognize the site you just came from.Reasons:
The site is not a genuine Passport site.
The site contains an error.
There is a temporary problem on the Passport system.
according to the wt, satan has been doing the majority of the work for the last 1960 years or so.
while jehover had been resting since the exertions of giving birth to creation, he manage to finish his book.
since god completed his last book, he has gone into virtual hibernation.
good question. sure, there are lots of things. typewriters disappear when guards come on suprise searches. people die of heart attacks when they threaten the org. tracts and magazines show up in the weirdest places exactly when people are searching for the truth. ah, but nobody says those are miracles for sure. they only COULD be. yeah? well, try saying there just coincidences and see how many congregation picnics you get invited to then.

ok this has nothing to do with being a jw or anything of that nature but it is important to me and i need some help:.
here goes i have been drinking rum and coke (bacardi) since i can remember and finally realized that maybe it is contributing to my severly harsh hangovers.
so i went on a quest in search of a new drink.
i only just heard of this drink: calimocho. its from basque spain. basically just wine and coke. it sounds odd but it grows on you. heres a webpage dedicated to it http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/1134/kalimotxo.html
