    -WIW Lilacs,

    As of Tinkerbell's post and counting 1998-2002:

    1998--0.00%

    1999--10%

    2000--30%

    2001--40%

    2002--20%

    Interesting--why the spike at the beginning of the millenium? OK it's not much of one but....

    Counting from 1993 and doing it as a histograph:

    1993 *

    1994

    1995

    1996 * * *

    1997 *

    1998

    1999 *

    2000 * * *

    2001 * * * *

    2002 * *

    Looks like some of us choose to leave after a Memorial service. I too left then in 2000. That was the last meeting for me. Desertflower

    This is interesting Lilacs.

    You are making me think here. I was never baptized so I wasnt disfellowshipped to have a specific date in mind. I began seriously doubting a few years ago. Im not sure of the exact date when I actually considered myself "out". I think I become a little outed every day.

    I decided not even to go to the Memorial when I left. I expected some reaction to it, but nobody seemed to notice. One person contacted me a couple of months later (my best friend at the time) and the elders made a call on me the following year before Memorial. (gotta get the Mem numbers up). I'd say they proved themselves for what they are. But this is a story for my bio if I ever get around to it.

    Blessings

    This is most interesting...

    May 8, 2000 DF'd, but was there for the announcement and every meeting for 6 weeks after and then finally said, "Enough is enough....I'm outta here!"

    Heaven, consider yourself lucky that you never took the plunge

    df, I didn't attend the memorial the year I left, and I left that year in June. That was when I bought my first computer. I've been free ever since.
