Why can't you just move on?
by atypical inthat's what my wife said to me the night before last.
i was making an observation about the way my family and other jws in my life are constantly trying to get me to go to a meeting or read an awake, but they never want to sit down and address the questions i have raised to them.
she then asked me why i can't just move on.

I may have sealed my fate.....
by atypical inwell, i have been trying to fade peacefully for months, for the sake of my wife and family.
to do this, i have had to hold my tongue about most of what i know, and i have done a good job of it until now.
the other day, i was hanging out with my buddy who misses most meetings, but still believes it's the truth.

Anyone feeling the Memorial pressure?
by atypical infor those who are fading, do you feel the pressure building as the memorial approaches?
family members who otherwise are busy with their own interests suddenly start paying more attention, dropping hints and holding their breath as it were.
then there are the invitations.

Limping on two opinions - mine and theirs!
by atypical ini have been lurking at these sites for a while and have finally decided to post.
forgive me for not wanting to give any clues as to my identity, but i am still struggling as a fence-sitter - knowing how i feel but not wanting to be cut off from my family and friends.
so my meeting attendance is sporadic; when i go to the meetings i am told "i'm worried about you" or "where have you been, your wife has been coming by herself".

Fading ain't goin' so well.
by atypical ini've been wanting to post updates for awhile, but i have been paranoid that my posts would make it too easy to identify me.
right now i don't care, so here's what's happening if it's helpful for anyone else who is trying to fade.. first of all, as of my last update i was still hanging around some of the witnesses socially and it came back to bite me.
after that mess, i pretty much gave up on even trying to pretend i can have much in common with most of the people at the hall.

I Found Jesus Today
by atypical inhe was standing on the corner of 27th avenue and northern.. he was wearing a sandwich board that said "salvation for the jews".
he had a name tag, which is how i know that i really found him.. i liked his beard, and the tape on his shoes.. i honked, so that he would know that i accept him.. he waved and smiled.
now i know that he accepts me, too..

I may have sealed my fate - part three
by atypical ini just wanted to give a quick update to anyone who might have read my earlier posts on this subject.. tonight my wife, who is very active in the hall, has a talk in the back school.
i haven't been to a meeting in about three months, and i really don't want to be there, but i want to support my wife.
but of course, the people who supposedly have so much love are making it a difficult decision for me.
