Met/spoken to two former Jw's I knew this week
by cyberdyne systems 101 inwhat a strange week, first someone who posts here turns out to be someone i knew from many years ago, and we end up speaking on the phone to catch up and share our experiences, and then last night i'm in the supermarket when someone says hello to me and when i turn to look its another person who used to attend my old congregation.
his reason's for not going was the lack of love shown to him and the fact that questions he was asking were going unanswered - sound familier?

Had The Big Chat with my wife...
by besty inafter being a long time fader and lurking here for a few years i finally had the courage to speak to my wife the other day
she was complaining about how we never get invited back to other jw's houses despite being fairly hospitable ourselves and how she's made some new worldly friends that werre non-judgemental and just nice people.
she also mentioned her mum (also jw but weak - split up from her jw husband) was struggling with the routine and had lots of nice friends out of the kh.

Is Fading a DF Offense?
by besty inwife sweet pea and i are just starting the 2nd phase of our fade, which as we are already inactive and at 50% meeting attendance, means stopping going altogether.. supposing the elders decide they want to make a shepherding call - which we naturally decline - could they announce us as 'no longer known as jw's' for declining the call, not being at meetings and being inactive?.
what if we did take the shepherding call and told the elders we just weren't coming back, with no specific reasons given?
they would be bound to ask if we still believed the fds doctrine, which we could lie about use theocratic warfare strategy and say we were just a bit depressed, with money worries, struggling with the routine etc and would probably be back soon.. thoughts?.

Question regarding service time, irregular status, and inactive status...
by Check_Your_Premises inso let me see if i got this straight.... to be a publisher you have to have 10 hours a month.
if you miss that target you are "irregular".
if you miss that target for six consecutive months you are "inactive".. what if you get your time in but miss all the meetings?

how would you respond
by besty ini had a shepherding call a while back and expressed some doubts about the org.
one of the elders asked 'if you know what you know now, would you still have got baptised?
sensing a bit of a leading question, i ducked it by replying 'impossible to say'
