  Maya,

  Interesting point. I was too scared and faded. If they ever come around again I will be completely truthful to them and tell them that I faded and I think that the religion is bullshit. If they want to know who I am to disfellowship me I would tell them to ef-off. Let them ask around the neighbourhood, LOLOL!

  They never did bother me, though. No calls, no drop-by's, nothin! I just quit going for about 2 months or so... I can't remember how long now, but then we moved and told absolutley nobody. Never have had a problem.

  Regulations Beyond Those Provided in the Scriptures

  by Corvin in

  i found this on the official jw site:

  conscience

  jehovah's witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict bible teachings.

  WT to Congregations, Grow or Go

  by benext in

  2. friends

  it was related to me this morning the society has instituted either a new or unofficial policy that congregations with attendance (not publisher) averages of less than 70 will be merged into the nearest congregation.

  i know of one elder who will inflate his cong.

  average to keep his "spot.

  Uriah,

  How true, LOL! One assembly we had saved some seats and a guy and his wife took our books and moved them! They stole our seats! There was a large group of us and we found this very odd....

  Yes, the east is beautiful too, in it's own way. I remember the heat.... and lake of the woods. It was when I was 10 but I still remember how beautiful it was there and how warm.

  Have a great time, Gadget!!!

  No. Not really.

  I find support here and venting sometimes; but this kind of 'energy' you speak of is only in your mind.
