For this reason I remind you to stir up like a fire the gift of God that is in you through the laying of my hands on you. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but one of power and of love and of soundness of mind. 8 So do not become ashamed either of the witness about our Lord or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but take your part in suffering adversity for the good news by relying on the power of God.
Me accepting that you still follow the Bible. This is one of Christ ambassador speaking above.

Are you less judgmental after you became ex JW?

any takers?

Very much less judgemental after getting to see the real picture of the organization and deciding to exit. After all, all the standards used by the organization as criteria to judge they hardly follow them and are chief culprit in going against those standards.

There is always a ready made answer to every situation.
What they always miss is the DEGREE as long as the degree can't be stated categorically or precise. There will be enough room to manipulate all these laws or policies set up by the organization.

How did you feel after writing a Disassociation letter?

@Op whatever you choose. I did write and submit my DA letter. Those who received it, were shocked. It was unexpected and the timing was a crazy one too. I stated emphatically, I am disassociating. Just as silentbudha placed it.
Make sure you have your reference copy.
You are just living or leaving by their rules
Whenever I see the words in bold above, when an organization is lawless or carry on lawlessness it is not a way or rule for one to be lawless or carry on lawlessness like them.

They find it difficult to dodge this whenever I use it as means of showing them how they have become whatever the CATHOLIC was in their +/- 140 years history.

Anyone have your local cong. give out papers to say what you can afford to give the cult?

back in the late 80s i can remember my local cong.

pass around a paper that had a place for head of house hold name and how much they can afford to give every month for one year.

but i remember the elders said they needed to know what they can bank on to know what they can afford to borrow to remodel ect.
Longlivetherenegades

Happens with the congregation I was in while still in. It is always a sorry sad situation because everything lives and die on that paper. The congregation hardly meet up with the resolution despite deciding to pay 1/7 of even what was collated from the paper resolution

i have jw relatives that is trying to make me feel bad.

i think they hope it will help me return to the borg.

not!

Shaming those that live the organization is a way of punishing them.
Their Bible study this past week is all about SHAMING those who live Jehovah.
You have to understand the mindset they carry all over the place. Once they detect that you are tough and firm about your views about the organisation. It will be difficult for them to make you feel bad.
