    Inactive for 4 or 5 years, I forget. Married, with 1 child, both of who are inactive. I'm a former MS, who was on his way to "eldership", but got tired along the way. Too many meetings, too much field service, too much of being "an example" and not being able to be myself, while others, who were supposed to be examples, did what they wanted, while judging others about doing the same as they were.

    The only meeting I have attended in the last year is the Memorial, even though my wife wants me to go back, because she has started going back to the Sunday meeting again.

    White male in interracial marriage, never a JW but was raised in (and disfellowshipped from at age 13) the Worldwide Church of God back in the 70s before Armstrong's death (since coming here I've learned they've got quite a few similarities), joined the site when my wife started studying with JWs and I became concerned about where it was leading and what it would mean to us. She has since stopped studying with them, in part due to help I received here, (Thank you jgnat, Check_Your_Premises, and many others) but I linger on this board because I feel a rapport with people here, there are so few 'normal' people who can relate to the sort of upbringing I had.
