  forgive me if this has been posted already but this was in my local paper today.. http://m.recordonline.com/article/20150307/news/150309486/0/wap&template=wapart.

  if you have time to read, this is an interesting article talking about watchtowers property in ulster and orange county ny and how much the properties are worth.

  it also goes on to show how the tax exempt stays is hurting the communities..

  can a witness get in trouble for attending an inactive family members wedding?

  just wondering because i am getting married this summer and my mom tried to blackmail me by saying she and other family members would attend but only if i returned to the meeting.

  i told her i am not going back to the meetings.

  I don't care...

  by lostinthought in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all, i haven't been to a meeting since this summer.

  i actually had a better plan for fading but of number of things happened where i decided it was best to go "cold turkey" (one of the biggest things that caused my exit was that an elder at my last shepparding call who said he thought i was suicidal when i really have no attention of killing myself).

  so when the phone calls, emails and texts started coming, ive been ignoring them all, except those from my family.

  it has been several years since my awakening.

  since then i have stopped pioneering, stopped doing temp work at bethel, stopped field service (at the most, i went out a few hours a month for the last couple of months), my meeting attendance has been around 50 percent or so.

  i have decided not to go back.
