  Advice on fading needed

  by wallievase in

  1. jw

  these 2 options are before me right now-.

  1. write a letter to the elders and my family, not da myself but basically saying i have too much going on in my life and am confused, so that they will stop bothering my wife and stop asking me questions all the time.

  after i write the letter continue to go to the hall less and less.... 2. appease my wife.

  Why are they your only 2 options? I would opt not write anything to anyone and simply fade, mental illness would be a valid reason as what you are hearing goes against your conscience but don't tell that to any JW, just the mental illness part! I suffered with anxiety before I stopped going, I literally had panic attacks going to a meeting as it made me so angry listening to the nonsense.

  Update on shunning@the store. Watchtower victorious.

  by quellycatface in

  yep, that's right.

  after all my friends and my efforts, the shunning carries on.. the 3 people who were shunning me at my local supermarket, still, are carrying on this practice.. little subtleties like avoiding eye contact, making busy as i walk past and looks out of the corner of their eyes.

  you know the modus operandi.. nothing now the store can do about it.

  If people choose to act like that do you really want to interact with them anyway? I don't, I'm happy enough without having to make small talk with such people

  They continue to drop like flies

  by suavojr in

  2. friends

  yes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.

  they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.

  they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .

  Seriously considering stepping down as Elder

  by fader77 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been an elder for 6 years.

  it's been the last 2 years or so that i've really seen the hypocrisy, but the ability to know the shenanigans of the society through the body of elders letters has kind of kept me in there.

  i'm to the point now that i can't stand the hatred and bitterness that the body of elders has towards myself and my whole family.

  Hi fader77, I know the feeling. I was there once and it was doing my health no good. Devise a plan for fading, say it's depression or burn out if you like. I stepped down the elders asked if I just wanted to take time out instead of resigning so be prepared for that. Also the CO wanted to see me, I used to give talks at assemblies and schools and had been given some to do.

  All the best, be true to yourself. You ask if anyone has resigned from the platform? Yes a few have, there is even a recording of one if you search on here for Little Toe.

  A "follow up" meeting?!?!

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well, now they want a follow up visit!

  when you tell the elders that you have doubts and they say " its okay, we have had our doubts.

  having doubts is not apostasy.

  It sounds to me like they were sent originally to sound you out, they have reported back to the other elders and they have asked them to come back and shepherd beat you some more. Refuse refuse refuse. Tell them it makes you ill and say you'll get back to them if you need any more help
