Drives,
I hope you keep coming and posting. You just crack me up. Too much Mountain Dew was a nice touch.

Family dynamics and the Org.
by LDH ini have made a couple of remarks regarding family dynamics on other threads, but i thought it's be nice to start a new thread.... i'm no psychologist, but suffice it to say i see some similarities here.
(please add to/comment on these thoughts).
the organization wishes to be seen as our mother.

Heresy of the Month
by thinker inheresy of the month (from a website).
don't you hate it when someone you know comes up with some new thing that you have never heard about?
you sit there in apparent ignorance as they pontificate about the proofs and merits of some idea so far beyond common knowledge that it can only be revealed by people of exceptional enlightenment such as they.

Larc,
I'll thank you to keep a civil tongue in your head. Thinker has not back slid. He has been taking care of very important Family matters. These daily baptisms take up a lot of time. And you know what the scriptures say about taking care of your family first. So behave yourself!!! Don't chastise before you know all the facts.
Together I think you and Thinker are a dynamic duo. So let's get this show back on the road. Do your research and add to the light!!!!!

Who's to blame?
by ozziepost inwhen viv mouritz , former branch coordinator in australia, addressed the special meeting of sydney and surrounding area congregations at the superdome last weekend, he blamed the young witnesses who were leaving "the truth" for the drop in numbers in australia.. at the service meeting this week in one sydney congregation it was announced by a bethel elder that the elders have been told (as if they didn't know already!
) that 2,000 have left "the truth" in the past two years in australia.
this typical congregation of 120 publishers has lost 19 inactive since 1999.. the march 2001 issue of kingdom ministry (australian edition) gives the number of publishers for december as 58,426, pioneers 3,315 and 19 baptized.. in dec '98 there were 58,706 pubs,and in dec '99 there were 58,000.. with 1,600-1,800 being baptized each year, there is indeeed a 2,000 shortfall.. so, who's to blame?

Larc,
P.S. I thought the mosquito was going to send me into an apopleptic fit. And just when I thought I was recovering from that Danny Bear had to start. I don't know how much I can stand. Keep it up you guys!!! I love it. -

Latte,
Not trying to over ride your serious note here. That is one of the basic reasons I quit going. Couldn't stand to hear all the judgementalism (new word?) and the pure meaness going on. Just didn't sit right with me.

Twvsnt,
Welcome to the board. You can discuss anything you want here without fear of being judged harshly.
I am so sorry you are going through this. I sounds very difficult. And when things hurt us emotionally, it is even harder.
I think Prisca, Larc, and Simon gave you good advice.
Keep your chin up.

Simon and Anghard,
Well Thinker and I hope you aren't too devastated. For me the official action was actually quite a relief. I hope this ends up that way for you too.
I echo all Zazu's sentiments. Right down to the little note for the spies.
Keep your chins up. Glad you did most of the talking. At least they weren't allowed to grill you for three hours. Hope you gave them an earful!!
I wondered if your web site was known about. I hope you feel it is worth it. Because it has been a real life saver for me and I know many others here.
Love to you both,
Thinker and Thinkers Wife -

Hey Everybody,
I am so upset. All of you actually had a body to your email. Thinker and I only got one-liners in the subject line.
Mine=Stop spweading lies.
Thinkers=Youre an idiot
Notice the interesting spellings!
So Larc, don't feel so bad. We only got subject lines. Maybe you should start up the Heresy of the Month again, so that he will truly understand how apostate you and Thinker really are.
