  Fading away problems.

  many people decide to fade away from the org gradually so as not to have to suffer the sanctions of being disfellowshipped or disassociated and if all goes according to plan it works well.

  .

  are there any cases where things somehow went wrong and the objective to quietly leave failed, your one or that of other people?

  I moved about forty miles away to a different city because of work and never had any further interest in going back. I was fading before that and must have been somewhat concerned at that time since I went to a few meetings. It has been a couple of years since I moved and now I could care a less about any of it. If they get some power trip out of announcing I left, let them have their pathetic attempt at trying to make me feel bad. It won't work. I cannot even be mad at them or the whole organization anymore since to have anger you have to care in some way and I simply do not.

  Question for agnostics and/or atheists

  i've just recently declared my agnosticism to myself and to one other person in my life.

  i don't necessarily consider myself an atheist because i believe there very well may be some higher power or non carbon based entities in existence with 'godlike' abilities.

  my question is, do you still find yourself secretly believing in god?

  I consider myself agnostic and to some degree think there could be some higher power but I really don't know. After years of being made to feel guilt about everything while in the jehoover mindset, it is a relief to me to not have those feelings now. But I may not be typical in that. A few friends I know that have left still have religious feelings and attend some type of service so I guess it varies. I do not worry about some god ready to rub out someone just because they don't follow a presribed dogma of some type. If there is some kind of afterlife I would hope I would judged on something more than just hours spent at a meeting or bugging people at their homes.
