How do you explain to a jw...
by Gadget inhow do you explain to a jw why you don't believe the jw teachings anymore?
you can explain what you believe and why, but if they're deeply in they can just pass it off as 'needing faith' etc.
so without going into deep deep issues(i prefer the keep it simple, sweetie approach), what points do you use to make jws think about things?

I can't do it anymore.
by Gadget inpeople who've been reading my posts will know i've been trying to get reinstated so i can get back together with my girlfriend/fiance.
the more time goes on, the less i feel able to do that.
all the things i hear from the platform, and the things that elders have said to me just reinforce the fact that i want nothing at all to do with this organisation anymore.

What do the 'Pillars of the Congregation' think of new light
by Gadget ini was reading a post on another thread about a 70yr old sister who's husband was a pillar of the circuit in times past now just drowned out most of what she heard from the platform as someones personal oppinion and served jehovah the way she felt was right.
is this typical of someone who has been in the org for that long, the difference being that she felt comfortable enough with the people concerned to actually voice it?
what about the people who joined in the 20s and 30s and have seen all the new light coming in over the years, has any asked them how different it all is now to the religion they joined?.

What information do they hold on you?
by Gadget inevery congregation keeps records on each of its publishers, but how much information do these files have?
is it a case of copying the numbers from your report card each month, or more than that?
how much notes are taken from a jc, and are these held on a proforma as a record, or are they more handwriten notes to jog the memory of the committee?

Could you get reinstated?
by Gadget inif you wanted to, would you be able to convince your local elders to reinstate you?
you'd have to go to every meeting, sitting at the back, showing 'the right attitude' and not talking to anyone.
you'd have to do this for 6 months to 1 year.
