  Private meetings weekly in an outdoor gazebo?

  Sounds like a perfect opportunity to setup a long range mic in some nearby tree and press record

  apparently i'd been in prison, gone to wife-swapping parties and consorted with fortune tellers.

  .

  i guess they have to demonise those who leave less others too are tempted to stray.. what did they say about you?.

  Got to think its something pretty bad. No elder visits in over a year, and only 2 in the first 1.5 years. Saw a sister at the grocery store, she wouldn't make eye contact and scurried away as fast as possible, not a word said.

  It been nice. I should get some more rumors going

  I knew for a few years I needed out. Didn't know what to do, just knew I needed out. Then a former jw I knew from childhood confided in me she was molested during teen years by someone still a jw, and had reported it to the elders and nothing happened. Combine that with my mutiple reports about a violent wife (now ex) and that was my last meeting. A couple months later a family member who never liked jws was going to be traveling for a month and offered to let me stay there while they were gone. I now had a safe exit from the wife and a month or more to breathe and plan the next steps.

  I remember hearing something about 3 seperate layers of security, or 3 seperate firewalls or something and that the first layer had been breached but not any further. Proof of jahs blessing and protection.

  It was coming from a bro with bethel connections, but he was also technologically challenged.

  i was born in and a jw for about 40 years, most of it in the same state.

  im getting ready to move about an hour away and typed in my possible new zip code to the meeting locator to see who of my past contacts i will possibly run into.. when the locator gives you the list of nearest congos, is congo "a" the one that your address would be "assigned" to?

  the congo that works your territory?

  Thanks for the info. A and B meet at the same hall, but not in alphabetical order in the listing. My thought was it would be congo c or d covering the area im moving too. I know people in B and C. Guess Ill wait and see if it happens. I work a lot and noone catches me at home now, but they all know me here and probably skip my house.

  this is a topic that i am very sensitive about, as i could never see not protecting my family, even if that meant using whatever means at hand to do so!

  Yea. I said for years she was wanting out of the marriage and trying to find a way that made her the innocent victim. No one believed me. But i have to give the narcissistic violent monster credit where it's due, she woke me up to the real org. I blinked wrong, sneezed wrong, had a question and she was straight to the elders.

  After my exit and my filing for divorce one of the reasonable elders stopped by and apologized for the years of believing her

  I know that the congo i left(where i live now), if you put up a visible no trespassing sign they absolutely would not come on the property. Im going to be renting in a rural area short term until I find my next home to purchase. There will be very visible no trespassing signs at both of the next homes.

  Never saw the 'keep it unloaded and disassembled' comment before. Must be some of that brighter light

  Been over it again and again when I was in. Now ex wife repeatedly went to the elders about the guns I own.

  Every time, usually a different elder takes me in the back, 'why do you own guns, we know you don't hunt?'

  Recreational target practice at a range was my scripted answer.

  'well, why do you have a concealed carry permit then?'

  Because I know the laws, and have taken safety courses. I can legally carry the gun in my truck to and from the range without a concealed carry permit. But what would happen if I have to go to the bathroom on the way home, or stop for lunch? Then I'm not going directly to or from the range to home, and it would put me in violation of the law.

  One day we were out doing errands in my vehicle and she caught site of a safe under my drivers seat. What's in that she asked. My 45.

  Yup next meeting in the back room, why do you carry a gun everywhere you go?

  Oh I went to the range yesterday and got called into work before I got home. Forgot to take it back in the house. Good thing I have a concealed carry permit and a locking safe in my truck.

  Only way I'd keep an unloaded disassembled gun around is if was broken.
