I believe it's most optimal to move to a congregation where nobody knows you, outside the territory where you live, one preferably too busy to note your absence. That's what I did.
Have your records arrived there? Once they do, take your exit!

Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"
by ab.ortega inoh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.
at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.
the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

This is something I only learned after I woke up.
The "experience" I had at the circuit assembly was tweaked by the CO only in terminology. He didn't like me using the word "guys" and thought it might be offensive to older people.

Internet is killing recruitment from "field service"--and likely has some impact on children of JWs. Of course, these youngsters might be instilled by fear of "apostate" websites while young.
I only wish I'd this much access to information growing up in the 80's. All I had was what was in my parent's "theocratic library" or what was on their bookshelf. Of course, when I became an "unbaptized publisher", I was only 8. I don't remember making that decision or really understanding JW beliefs, like 1914, the Generation, the Faithful Slave. I doubt I could've understood or explained these things.

Circuit Overseer Coming For Lunch – Everything Has to be Perfect
by SAHS inwe have the circuit overseer’s visit this week, and my folks are having him and his wife over for lunch today.
of course, i’m making it a point of hightailing it out of there to have my lunch elsewhere.
when my mom asks me “why don’t you stay and meet him,” i just say, “well, he’s just a man like everybody else.” she says, “well, of course.

"Just a man". Also "appointed by Holy Spirit" and a "star" in the right hand of Jesus.
Classic doublethink.

If the Australian branch is closed before ARC is ready to revisit them, I wonder how the redress would be done. Who would pay?

Deaf Aotearoa flooded with complaints about Jehovah's Witness church
by OrphanCrow indeaf aotearoa flooded with complaints about jehovah's witness churchkashka tunstalllast updated 15:22, october 6 2015deaf aotearoa has asked the jehovah's witness church to respond to claims of a deaf information database.new zealand's deaf community is fed up with unsolicited house calls, claiming the jehovah's witness church is targeting deaf households.deaf aotearoa has received multiple complaints from around the country and says church members visited certain homes because they were aware a deaf person lived there.
the organisation released a statement on monday, saying it was looking into the possibility the church holds a database listing the details of members of the deaf community.jehovah witness spokesman rod spinks said there was no such database and deaf people were not being targeted.the deaf aotearoa statement was posted on the group's facebook page, and received a flood of comments from frustrated people.one woman said a group of jehovah's witnesses had come to her house and asked "for the deaf person who lives here.
" she said they refused to explain how they had her details and didn't visit her neighbours.another said church members had turned up at her work and asked for her by name.hamilton man royce flynn said he had been visited six times over the last nine months, despite repeatedly saying he was uninterested in the house calls.he said the church members were always able to sign and also brought deaf people along, which lead him to believe he was being singled out.flynn said contacted local police, who told him it was a privacy issue and referred him on to the office of the privacy commissioner.he said he had been been in contact with local labour member of parliament sue moroney.deaf aotearoa acting chief executive jill dean said complaints about the church were a recurring issue.
