Letter to old Cong
by mattnoel inok so some weeks back i send a letter to my old cong, it stated quite a few points which were very serious, some of them would cause certain members of the cong to be diss'd and asking for an explanation as to why certain things happened i.e stepfather throwing mother down the stairs whilst drunk but mother getting reproved etc etc.
also raised was the issue of the data protection act and wanting a copy of the files held on me and also stating that the baptism is nul and void.
it was about 5 pages long and i also sent it to various members of the cong.. a week ago i get an e mail from a witness stating that i was out of order - my letter was obviously exagerated and lied about to make me a "mad apostate" aparantly in the letter i have admited to keeping a written record of goings on, i blame the society wholey for my mothers death and i have apparantly sent it to the press.. a couple of days ago i get a reply from the cong and guess what it says, pretty much please forward a cheque for 10 along with proof of id and we will send you the records and thats it !!!!!

The UN and armageddon
by mattnoel ini need some reassurance here !.
i spoke to my aunt the other day who has been out of the borg for about 20 years now.
she told me that she is really worried about world events and feels that this is it now, the un is going to crumble and then armageddon is going to come.

I am famous
by mattnoel inok i have been a bit quiet the past couple of days as life has been manic.. i was on tv this week doing an interview and then in the newspapers the following morning, unfortunatly nothing jw related but i have my plans for that, http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/3759460?source=evening%20standard i am the guy getting on the train and there is a bit about me nearer to the bottom.. i sent a letter to the elders of my old congregation, i have been out for about a year now and feel i need some sort of closure.
there are some very sore points for a lot of people in the congregation including my step father and it may cause a few problems.
naturally i was concerned that this may get "swept under the carpet" in true jw style so i sent it to random members of the congregation (put at the bottom of the letter cc various congregation members" this will throw the elders into confusion) and london and ny bethels.

UK Users JW's and the Data Protection Act 1998
by mattnoel inok so i am wondering, please dont mock me those that know me, i know i was in the police but i have been thinking about something.
the society are no longer allowed to hold personal information on anyway without their written consent, now we had to sign something as publishers etc that they could hold info on us.
now i have been looking at a website http://www.watchthetower.com/ and the forms the society holds on us.

Funny people in your Congregation
by mattnoel inok so who has got stories about funny people in your cong,.
we had one guy who used to recite really long prayers, you would see people shifting from foot to foot as he recited extracts from the lords prayer in with his, he used to knock on doors and when they didnt answer shout through the letter box saying "i know your home" if they did actually come he would keep them talking for ages even after they said they werent interested.
he even wrote to tony blair and told him how he would die at armageddon, the society recieved a letter of complaint and he got banned from pioneering.

My Story
by mattnoel inok so chevy asked me to put my story on here, a lot of you will probably find it boring but will post it anyway.
am now 24 and live in kent, england with my boyfriend dean, we are really happy together in fact i have never been so happy and we plan to marry later on this year.
i was brought up a jw from a baby by my mother, my father was never really bothered about it all and my mum fell away, divorced him and married another guy and then went back to the witnesses, he was not a witness and they met at my mums place of work, she was a dj for a local radio station and he was a chauffeur.

Contact from the witnesses since leaving & I am angry !
by mattnoel ini have been looking through the site and noticed that a lot of you have had trouble with the witnesses since leaving.
i know when i was on the way out they wanted to meet up with me about half a dozen times, and i had various phone calls to try and stop me but since then i have not heard any more from them.
although i must admit there are still a couple who keep in touch with me via e mail and they let me know what is going on in the cong.
