Mix JWs with a crazy HOA..........
by atypical inon top of all the rumors and gossip that have been spread around since i quit going to meetings, i am now getting borderline harassed by the witness who lives a couple doors down.
he happens to be on the hoa board, and he is a total prick who loves to point the finger.
i have now gotten three letters for violations which are completely false.

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.

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.

The day Frank died.
by atypical inout of routine in a newlywed life, i received word that a friend had died.
he was one of the good ones - the ones that existed in my good old days, the days when i knew the secrets to life.
he was a kind man - overlooked for serious privileges because of his accent.

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..

Jws use activity as a distraction
by atypical ini was just thinking - since i have been fading and not at meetings, i have gotten many, many phone calls.
i have gotten many comments.
it occurred to me that every time i hear something from a witness, it has to do with trying to get me involved in an activity.

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.
