just tell them you have decided to explore alternative forms of the ministry and you have been working on more passive approach. you are letting the people come to you, and since they have not come to you, you assume that they have made their stand.

Faders are indeed a large army...
by undercover in...and i think it's starting to show.. i started a thread the other day about being hounded after several years of having successfully(?
) faded.
i've been taken aback a bit the recent developments but i'm making a new strategy...one that depends more on sticking to my guns and laying the cards on the table.

i very well agree with your hypothesis here. contrary to jw belief, attendance at most meetings is down although numbers remain the same. i know the congregation i am associated with- or was- at this point, has seen very little attendance drop. but when you look at the fact that there has been about 15 to 20 move into the congregation but very few "truely" move away or deaths, then you are left to realize that the numbers really are dwindling and many are becoming faders. this is also seen with several of the congregations within the circuit.

sorry about your cat, would you like to learn how you can live forever?
by rockmehardplace inthat is exactly what i told someone in field service once.
i went to the door with another brother, and started my presentation.
i noticed the lady was crying and asked if everything was ok. she said that they just got back from the vet, and that they had to put the cat to sleep.

My Uses of Psychotropic Medicine and Marijuana Effects
by frankiespeakin infor several years now i have been using many natural plants to reach altered states of consciousness, one of my hopes was to start up my kundalini energy at the bass of my spine and up thru the various chakras, i think i have accomplished it but have no idea of where it ends, but it is somewhere out of cultural programing and beyond!.
anyway i quit pot for a while because my eyes would keep rolling up in the back of my head and i think my kundalini energy was only reaching up to my heart chakra and i would get blow away with compassion for suffering things animals, trees, people it really cut me down and zapped my energy,,so i quit for a couple months, and just started again very recently,, right now i don't get the eyes rolling back in the head thank god it is so embarrassing.. i think it may have been caused by really good yoppo i bought on ebay from yugoslavia or what ever one of those countries cheap but potent.
i was having the most powerful dreams even for weeks after relived memories coming out of nowhere all the time..

holey cheese. each person has to do what is right for them. lay all your cards out on the table and i am sure we can pick apart what you do and find fault. and as for a spineless comment, it takes alot of courage and fight from someone to do what maryacclaim has done to see and speak to family. maybe it is easy for you to drop family but for some, we still need that connection.

you should not have to choose between your religion and family ! (awake mag quote)
by looloo inlast summer there was a big upset caused by an article (july ,ithink) in the awake about a hindu lady that upset her family by leaving her religion and joining jehovahs witnesses and the ironic thing was it had the above quote in it , that someone should not have to choose between family and religion !
i printed the article off and underlined that section , and recently sent it to my inlaws along with a letter , because they are upset about not seeing their grandchild because they banned their son from the house (he sdisfellowshipped) i am trying to sort the situation out , and i thought they might notice the hypocrisy in the article , however that idea did not work as apparently" there are lies on the internet !
" and father in law was not very happy to receive it , but it is from an awake magazine ,watchtower literature !

that article was eye opening to me. i remember vividly having a huge fight with my wife about disassociated ones. i told her that if a hindu (or anyone else) leaves the religion they were born into / baptized into and become a jw, they would not want their family to stop contact with them and we would think it was cruel for the choice that they made in shunning. but if a jw leaves the wt society, it is ok to shun someone. there is not one ounce of logic to this. i was certain more people would pick up on this and run out the door.
