  Info For Newbies and Current Jehovah's Witnesses! Please Read!

  example: gravity is real.

  because if 607 bce is wrong, then so is 1914 and 1918 and 1919. very simple.

  so if we cannot trust secular research, then we can definitely discard the date of 607 bce.

  jehovah's witnesses are supposed to be the best friends you could ever have.

  they're supposed to be genuine and loving.. not that you're out of jw friends, what's it like?.

  I wouldn't say anything either.... you will just look bitter.

  He may have said something or may not, but may be feeling so bad about himself....

  I feel pity for them. They are clones.... everyone has to think the same, they talk the same, dress the same etc.

  so blinded... the sad part is we were the same....

  Totally Busted and Scared!!!!!!

  my husband and i have been fading/disappearing for a few months now.

  we haven't been to meetings in quite some time, but most of our family members live out of the area, so they don't know yet.

  so with the spirit of joy that comes from newly exiting a doomsday cult, we have been celebrating all the holidays as well as my 5 year old's birthday (she turned 5 on december 2).

  2Pink.

  I agree with many others you do not have to share any info, I would just delete her message. If she questions you again, you could say why would you ask me such a question? put her on the spot.

  My family has been fading as yours for the past year but consistent for the last 8 months of no meeting attendance. We celebrate our First Holidays starting with Halloween.

  This Saturday I came home from the supermarket and a group on service stopped by 3 of the individuals are just so kind I kind of felt bad telling them it was a bad time I had things to do. They wanted to help me with the groceries but I insisted it was a bad time. A minute after entering my house a brother from the cong called his daughter left something at our house months ago and he was on my street, my daughter remembered it was in my trunk. Of course in the trunk were Christmas presents for my nieces, he asked my daughter if we were celebrating Christmas now, she told me after he left but I thought why wouldn't he ask me.

  Well he comes in the house and doesn't say anything about the WT he could tell I was busy cleaning. But gave me copy of the bible reading scriptures starting in Jan 2010 and said here this was my X-mass present since we are celebrating X-mass now, I just laughed. Don't let anyone make you feel bad, enjoy your life to the full.

  I feel it was a experience, and I have learned alot from it. Also, I met my husband in the organization.

  I believe if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger...

  Mad Jw,

  Individuals like you are what drove me out of the organization, one of the most ignorant question/comments I have ever heard.

  just wondering how all you slow faders are doing.i know this subject is discussed many times,but personally i wish it was more.we should post every once in a while just to say how we are doing,we need to encourage each other.as for me,it is still going very slow.right now i'm looking into the history that is being covered up.i have learned so much just by reading the older threads.it is very painful for me because this was the truth.and to be finding out so much crap that 99% of jw don't even know,it just is unbelievable.i have cut my field service down,and miss more meetings then i ever did.i'm hoping the sister that is in my face all the time,trying to help me,will forget about me soon......so how are you doing?.

  Fading FABULOUSLY

  I do get phone calls once in a while. My exiting process started a year ago. I slowed down to 2 meetings then 1 meeting. Stopped going out on Field service...After 5 months I was no longer attending. It was difficult in the beginning because my husband was in and giving me a hard time, but he has stopped attending and our relationship has become very strong. Also, I am a very social person so not having the association was hard, a few people would call me and ask if I was ok but never to associate with me. The Elders have come by and I have avoided them, 1 Elder spoke with my husband on Sunday and my husband told him we do not want to be bothered. He asked why, and my husband said for personal issues which he chooses not to discuss. I would like to Fade but I am not going to hide who I am, we have started celebrating holidays and we celebrated my husbands birthday and it was just so nice.

  I do agree we have to become Self Centered we have to Enjoy life to the Fullest. Life is too short. If we don't take care of ourselves who will?? We can't let Man determine our Happiness... we are not robots.

  Wishing you well.
