How do you deal with forced time with old JW friends?
by 5thGeneration ini'm facing a bit of a dilemma and wondering how to deal with it.. my fade is as complete as i want to make it but i'm going on vacation and lifelong super jw friends are going to be where i am staying.. i'm wondering how some of you have dealt with this in the past.. do i simply and uncomfortably stay quiet about not attending, going to the meetings?.
do i just matter of fact state that "yeah, i just haven't been going for a while"?.
or do i play the sheepish, discouraged, distraught role?.
