  2. friends

  when i disassociated myself i just walked out and didn`t come back.i gave the elders no explanation,i just told them not to bother me again,that was in 1974.when i read the posts on this forum,it seems as though some feel the need to give a formal explanation.why is this ?are the jws demanding an explanation if you leave?if so why would you go along with this invasion of privacy?i would appreciate it,if someone could bring me up to date on this...thanks...outlaw

  I was irriatated and disgusted when I stood up before about 40 witnesses and exclaimed,

  "May I have your attention please! As of now I am no longer associated with the Columbia Heights Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, and you can take that to the bank!"

  Actually I was excommunicating the whole congregation plus the WT per se. I was letting them know I thought they all sucked, pardon the expression.

  I was in control, not them. The invasion of privacy was upon them, when I interrupted their meeting with a loud cry of indignation.

  I guess when you quit, it's just good to let them know. No messin' 'round 'bout it. I had 40 witnesses, so the elders could not make up a lie as to how it happened, like insinuating some sin I had done by keeping the congregation igornant in how I was no longer a witnesses. Hey, I just quit!!

  Well said Sire, They are caught in their own snare.

  Job 18:8
  For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

  Prov. 18:7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. 8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down

  Prov 29:6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare

  So, you're out of the WT, and now
  you cannot think of your own.

  I guess you're a sitting duck.

  So, where do you go now. No where, you just grow up.

  What a quaint insight I have gained about
  such a sensitive innocent behavior. Some
  things mothers experience with their children
  are so very uniquely loving.

  this subscriber was threatened to have mailed to him, via united states post service, the deadly anthrax bacteria.

  the threat was made by forum member r.rodriguez of the united states.

  mr.rodriguez, i understand, is an active member in the watchtower religion.

  Anthrax was one of the originators of the Magnificent Dawnest,
  one of the seven members of the clap-trap group. He died mysteriously while demonstrating toilet cleaning for faithful pioneers in training.

  His wife, the only survivor, donated his body as a medium used in the group's, new advance form of ink processing. Some of that ink is now deteriorating.

  Actually, I would say more, but I heard that a new ink processing method is coming forth in the next "New Things Learned."

  Let's see now, maybe

  - people are holding her up too high.

  - earlobes are fun and we should all try it.

  - no one tells her to stop; they might injure her subconsciously.

  - she needs a puppy.

  - someone should pull on hers for a while.

  - help her with a substitute, perhaps do "nose" for a while.

  - ask another baby.

  - she needs more toys, one with big ears

  You welcome. Glad I could help.

  well, i have been reading and lurking around this site for a little bit now.

  in truth i have a friend that is a christian and he has tried to get me to look at sites like this for the past 10 months.

  i have always refused as it is all "apostate run" and just "packed with lies".

  Javagal,

  This is your expression of your time of transformation, your age of enlightment, as follows:

  I can't believe how wrong I was. This site is filled with people who truly love God and see him for what he must be: LOVE, not rules and regiment. I can't believe how close most of you are to the same feelings I have been having. I thought maybe I could take this time to write my story and hopefully some of you very intelligent people can help me with this difficult period in my life.

  In a novel, a “transformation” is an event where things are never the same again, things have changed forever.

  Tread amongst us fearlessly Princess Java, for thou countenance is understood and respected. This realm doth protect thee. Know thyself to be of nobility and love thyself.

  Hark! I doth seeth a sparrow in yonder meadow.
