Still go to jw funerals?
by Dune ini've been fading for about 6 months now and a couple of witnesses in my old congregation have died.
a smidget of me wanted to go for the sentimental reasons.
but i knew i wouldnt be able to handle the 'lovebombing', the questioning and a restart on harassment by the elders.

Baptized and offered a bible Study?
by Dune inlong story short.
fading for about 5 months, got the inevitable elder visit, basically did the "i'm busy with school and work" bit, hinted at not believing in the religion anymore, but didnt push it enough to be labeled an apostate.
at the end of the 'visit', the elders offered me a bible study.

What does one do at a concert?
by Dune inmaybe i was just an uber-witness loser (i took the religion very seriously when i was in it).. a friend is trying to get me to go triple dating with some of her friends and this chick i'm diggin.
the setting is this dashboard confessional's concert.. but i've never been to a concert, so i was wondering what the hell are you supposed to do?

Disfellowshipped for celebrating halloween?
by Dune inso i went partying on halloween in my costume.
it was fun, had a great time, all that good stuff.. however, i'm on a peer network thing kind of like myspace but its only for college students, however, anyone who goes to my page can see that i have like 3 pictures of myself in my costume.
so i was wondering, if a witness went onto my page and got those pictures could they use that as ammo to have me disfellowshipped?

Blow up at an elder lately?
by Dune ini consider myself to be an extremely tolerant person.
i'm one of those people that are extremely yielding, never get into confrontations and things of that sort.. i've been fading for about two months but instead of being smart like everyone else on the board and doing it gradually, i simply just dropped off the face of the earth (by witness standards) and just focused on school and work.. theres one elder that has been calling my family asking about my whereabouts, the times i'm home, my cell # and all the good stuff.
i wake up at 6:30 in the morning to the guy calling me, i dont bother picking up but he leaves a message.

Ever fail as an Apostate?
by Dune inlast saturday i was talking to a witness relative and the subject about book studies came up.
all of the sudden, she started talking about how she was kind of bothered by the fact that we werent studying from the bible as opposed to a book during the book study.
she went onto say that people in other religions new more about the bible than witnesses, but witnesses just had head knowledge of what the society was writing in the books.
