I need some updated information

divejunkie

As you know I'm a fader. I've been out for several years now. All of our family except for one of my brothers and one of my husband's brothers are JW's.

My need for info comes from the fact that ever since the rounds of the latest Dist. Conv. I've been receiving all kinds of "encouraging" calls from my brother - the elder and his wife, who thinks of herself as the "first lady" of JW's and who refuses to go to my parents' house because they associate with my other DF brother, and even some of their friends who I met in the past but have no relationship with them whatsoever.

I see in many posts about the "resolution" and the "surprise" of Sunday in the DC, and am curious to see if it has anything to do with this.

The calls are getting annoying, I've simply stopped answering the phone. What pisses me off is the fact that my bro gave them my cell phone number!!!!

Anyway, those of you with the 411, please, give me some "new light" hahaha

It seems there was a lot of indication at the DC that the end could be in the next couple of years. My answer would be:

"Wow, the havn't heard that since just before

the year 2000
the 1986 year of peace
1975
the 1940's
1925
1914
1878

Call me about it again in 5 years when they make the next pronouncement that the end will be in a couple of years"

I give up what is a fader ?

A fader is someone who gradually stops going to meetings and out in field service so as not to draw too much attention from elders etc. They eventually stop going. People choose this route so as not to get disfellowshipped or dissassociate. They usually have friends and family in the borg they do not want to lose.
