    I left Aug of 95, so eleven years ago. Was D'fd in 99 (Oct?)

    I feel like I should have more accomplished for being gone that long.

    It has been close to 10 years since I have stepped into a Kingdom Hall. I haven't been active for over 13 years.

    Firstly, Fullofdoubtnow, this could be a long project; so gird up thine loins, stiff upper beak and all that rot and stay the course

    My last meeting was the last meeting of 1974.

    Wow!!! I've been out for 32 years!!!

    But I was working on the fade for 3 or 4 years before that, all the way from pIONEERING. But I consider the last meeting to be the point where I started marking time.

    Somewhere I've got spreadsheet where I count the meetings that I have missed; it's in the thousands. I update it once or twice a year.

    Some have commented about my quitting on the eve of 1975; wasn't I paying attention. Actually for those last 2 or 3 years I was skipping meetings. But my connections were so close into the 'power structure' that I couldn't ignore things.

    I just figuratively 'rolled the dice' and said that WTS were losers and that 1975 and the Big A were not related. I could 'feel' something wrong in the WTS reasoning.

    But in mind and heart well before that.

    Truly true; but you have to draw the line somewhere, so I stick with 'latest' December, 1974.
