    I have faded. Still associate with JW family - as long as I don't influence the kids in the family I won't be shunned. Yes, I know the rules. I hope by my example, they can see there is an alternative.

    A friend of mine recently asked me not to become "one of those people" who show up only for the Memorial,

    I assured her it woulod not be a problem since I plan on no further memorials.

    Fader - I stopped going for good back in 1997, so I'm looking at 10 years now! Wow, time has flown by.

    Sacc...

    I stopped going about 10 years after graduating. Was baptised (or still am) for nearly twenty years.

    Wow.

    I am so sorry about your experience. Sadly some brothers get a high from judicial committee. How are you and your daughter now?

    I was disfellowshipped twice. EACH time I wanted to go back thinking it was 'the truth'.

    The second disfellowshipping made me investigate my beliefs so that I could make them stronger and NOT get df'd a THIRD time! In my research, I discovered it to be in error! I now see them as ones who will say lord, lord, did we not....Get AWAY from me you workers of lawlessness.

    I am now 'born again' and go to two community churches each weekend! I LOVE it!

    Much success to you!
