"fade" Is this term or other "apostate" vocab being used in talks by JW's?
by Thechickennest ini am picking up a whole new set of terms, abreviations, etc.
from this forum.
with the number of increasing active jw's veiwing and using this forum i was wondering if this new language is making its way back into talks, meeting parts, preaching work or other areas in the social lives of current jw's?.

Were you forced to resign from your church before getting baptized a JW?
by Thechickennest ininterestingly, after i left the witnesses after 25 years, i found out that i was still a member of our local methodist church!
i just picked up and went on again as a methodist......i never resigned.
does this mean that technically i was never really was a jw because i did not resign from my church before getting baptized as jw?

Did you help clean the Kingdom Hall, yard work, maintenance?
by Thechickennest inat one hall i attended for serveral years had a lawn covering large man-made burms with trees and bushes.
it was a difficult yard to mow and maintain.
i have often wondered why we all pitched in and worked so hard for nothing.

Reverse shunning at the restuarant!
by Thechickennest inyesterday, after taking part in a community service project with the lion's club my wife and i went to one of the three restaurants in our small town to meet with the other lion's club members.
would'nt you know it.... there were three witnesses from the congregation we used to attend, kind of hidden around a corner behind a wall having their mid saturday morning break.
we choose our seats in the booth connected to the witnesses booth, as the other lion's members were already seated in this area.
