Hey, I am just trying to get to the bottom of this.

I heard a rumor going around that a member of the JCs recently left the group. Not one of the hangers-on like Kirstie or Chris, mind you, but a member of some years.

Is it so? Have any longer-term JCs left the community recently?

Martin left about 2 months ago

Has anybody else left recently that you know of?

"Martin decided to work as an independent team this month in order to experiment spiritually. We hope to have good relations with him, even though he will be working less closely with the community for the time being."

This was sent out to everyone on Saturday, 16 February, 2008 .......

but Ross has moved away to be more independent working in Melbourne with another
Indian friend named "Israel" who hands out our books with Ross. Ash has
decided to leave the community, but is working to send recycled bicycles to
Kenya.

and this sent on Tuesday, 26 February, 2008 ....



"Ash seems to be more or less experimenting with being
more personally accountable, and only time will tell where that
leads. He is not distributing at all, and, as far as I know, he is
not continuing with any of the traditional JC disciplines (e.g. runs,
empowerment, regular studies, etc.) "

What is the citation for these quotes? Can you post a link please?

Or are these from private emails?

All of these are from emails sent to the whole community, they are not on any public forum anywhere, they are personal emails sent out on those dates. Hope this clears things up?

So, Martin And Ash have left the JCs in the last couple months, is that what these emails reflect? Interesting.

Thanks for posting this.
