Hi everyone

I haven't posted many times, and probably not many of you know me, so let me introduce myself in a few words.

My name is Peter, I am 27 years old, and I am an ex-JW from Hungary, a small country in East Europe. I was a witness for two years, before I started fading away and stopped going to meeteings about 3 years ago. I did not get Df-ed, nor did I dissasosiate myself. I learned the truth about the JWs on the internet.

My question is: Is anyone from this bord from Hungary, or Romania ( a neighboring country). Does anyone know of any such person?

If anyone knows, please let me know, as I only know 1 such person from my country and none in Romania

Thanks very much

i would like to ask, does anyone of you have any info on w.h.

conely's life, who, according to the proclaimers book, was the first president of the society, just before russel took his place.

do any of you know why eventually the two men separated, and thus the news of conely's death never appeared in any publication thereafter?

Hello

Thanks everyone. Sorry I initially misspelled the name.

In any case, it seems that Conley and Russel must have separated, as the Conley's name was not mentioned thereafter, and, more significantly, even the news of his death was never mentioned in the publications. I am wondering on what subjects the two must have had a disagrement on.

Also does anyone know why Covington was taken off the governing body in 1945-1946 and was lather disfellowshipped?

i have a question that puzzles me and would like to receive some ideas.

i used to be a witness for two years before fading away, leaving quietly.

i was not disfellowshipped and i did not write a letter of dissasociation.. the way i got babtised was such that noone from my congragation saw it since the babtisees were taken by buses from the convention to a private swimming pool.

The way I got babtised was such that noone from my congragation saw it since the babtisees were taken by buses from the convention to a private swimming pool. Only those could go that were actually getting babtised. I plan to deny the fact that I got babtised. As you know they do not register the names of the babtisees at the babtism. Noone from my congregation saw it, and those people who were around will not remember me. So why not give a try? I will say to the elders that actually I did not get under the water because I changed my mind, and I just made believe I got babtised.
The reason why I want to do this is that I want to avoid excommunication that would follow a normal retrival from the organisation plus I want to puzzle the elders commitee.
What do you think will be the elders' response to that challange? Is it worth a try?
please tell me your ideas about this
Thanks
Peter
