  Oh the joy of freedom..... to be just me.

  finally after five years i have finally shut the door very firmly on the witnesses.

  i have had this "sister" calling for over the last six months clearly trying to reactivate me,but never mentioning the reason why me and my family left the forfar congregation two years ago.

  it was always any subject but the " elephant in the room" well today was the finale.

  Private meetings banned??

  i have just spoken to a brother who is part of a group of single brothers and sisters who meet together once a week to discuss bible topics and he has been told by and elder that the organisation "banned" these private meetings years ago.

  i told him i remember that article but he is adamant that the society would never do that (!

  ) now i am fairly sure i remember that article whether it was in a km or one of the mags i cant recall but i am sure i remember them saying we needed nothing more than the food that the slave class provided (another means to control us),does anyone have the details of that article because i have said i will find it and let him have it.

  What is the qualification for emblem partakers ?

  by franticfran in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have just had a sister for lunch and we discussed the increase in emblem partakers last year to an astonishing 12,600. she said "anyone" could just walk in off the street and take the emblems and thats probaly why the numbers have increased so dramatically,but surely elders are only obliged to report the number of" baptised" brothers or sisters taking the emblems?.

  i have just joined this website and just wanted to say hello to anyone out there.

  i am so nervous,after thirty odd years in the "truth" i feel as though my husband and i have just walked into a room full of smiling strangers and we are just standing here hoping to god someone will come up and speak to us.

  scared and excited and hoping to wake up one morning and not wonder what we do now???
