    Baptized in 1974. Faded and inactive almost five years, with no interference from the BOE’s.

    Unfortunately my wife is an active JW and chooses to attend all on her own.

    Started to fade last July, went back to the Memorial this year but that was for friends only.

    Wife left with me, and is totally out too. She wouldn't go to the Memorial even for friends.

    Now our kids do normal things like Xmas and birthdays. We're all so much happier now.

    Wizzstick, that's good news. I really like hearing about families that leave together and giving their kids an opportunity for a normal life.

    Attended the district convention in 2009 and after listening to the generation WT review, then the final talk, I decided that this was the last meeting I would ever attend. I have been inactive since.

    Baptised 1976....16 years old...I was told that the ''end'' was near and only baptised members would survive

    left 1978.... I was only 18 and would rather hang out with friends than sit in a Kingdom Hall

    came back 1980...what a mistake

    no more than 8 hours field service

    gave # 3 talks.....Elders took me off talks after missing too many meetings

    Elders took me off the mics and sound after missing too many meetings

    stopped field service in 1985

    stopped attending book study 1988

    Elders visited me numerous times to try to attend more meetings and field service

    have not been to any district assembly or any assembly since 2001

    attended 6 meetings in 2010....4 meetings in 2011....0 in 2012....0 in 2013....0 in 2014

    Elders have not visited me in 4 years....they gave up on me

    I'm never going back!

    Whole hearted serving for 18 years, then a 32 yr time

    of sink & swim ...'half awake' which almost killed me off,

    then 4 yrs ago the straw that finally woke me right up,

    the complete failure of "this generation will not pass away".

    Went to an assembly ...... didn't even make it to the first

    song ....... ran out & never went back!

    Lovely to see all these names from our past, welcome Tyler77,

    BadCompany your comment is a classic! " I know how my

    family is going to treat me months before they know how

    they are supposed to treat me"

    villagegirl, I am not familiar with the book of enoch, as it is apocryphal.

    I chose the term 'watcher' from Daniel 4:13, 23.

    It's amazing that the elders pretty much leave most of the I actives alone
