Going will only prolong the fading process. I have been able to rather successfully fade by stopping service and meetings altogether, after one meeting a week, then once in a while, then nothing. Avoid talking to them - don't discuss any reasons why youre not going and never return their phone calls.

Brother Apostate

I would avoid them like the plague.

If they ever catch you face to face and tell you they have been missing you,

tell them that you feel so unworthy and guity, that you are ashamed.

When they ask you why?

Tell them:

"I just don't feel I can ever please God,

and the FDS, and the Congregation.

I know I need to study the publications on Monday and Wednesday night to prepare for the meetings,

I kinow I need to prepare for field service on Friday evenings,

I know I need to spend Saturdays out in Field sevice and Saturday evenings studying for the Watchtower Study,

I know I neeed to prepare for my TMS assignments,

I know I need to put as much money as possible in the contribution boxes,

I know I need to save up what's left of my money and use my vacation days to attend the conventions and special days,

I know I need to not make friends with the world, but witness to them instead,

I know I need to shun, or at least mark, anyone who doesn't do these things,

that is why I have I am asking you,

please,

would you come work for me?

See I'm starting a company,

and my goal is to have a life,

and that is why I would like to offer you a ground floor opportunty,

to be the first to work for me,

you only have to give me 5% of you income,

and I will show you how to get your life back, too,

and you can then teach these techniques to others in the same predicament,

and they will pay you 5% of their income,

and you will continue to pay me 5% of your income,

and each new student in the program will do likewise,

until, in time,

we will not only have a life,

but we will be spending our time much more profitably.

Try it, it might just work for you!

Cheers,

BA- Do it for the lulz.

PS- And offer them a drink:

El Kabong

Why give them the power to control your life? By meeting with them, you are giving them control. Screw them!

RULES & REGULATIONS

Honesty

Let me go as your proxy.

I have a few questions the silly buggars have never answered.

If you'd just like to get them off your case, it might be worth going to that meeting, and as you say getting there just as the meeting starts, make sure they see you, smile, nod, wave, and leave before they can talk to you. Then you can tell your mum that you saw them there.

It reaches a point at which you're just delaying the inevitable; my mum eventually just demanded to know stuff. I thought that I was protecting her by playing the game, but in reality I was just putting off an awful experience. I'm not saying you should make the break, just that you should be prepared for it - have new friends, new interests, and a new direction, so that they're not really taking anything away from you.

Last week was the 2 day assembly.I didn't go to either one.

I've been attending only once a week and no field service in about 4 years.

My cong's CA was this past weekend too. You don't go to Queens, NY Assy Hall by any chance? Actually I wasn't there either because my Mom had just died. Actually the reason I've been going to ANY meetings for past couple of years has been so as not to complicate matters with my Mom in ill health (she was a wdow, living alone and I am the only living child). It has paid off because now that she has died all the [conditional] "friends" have been able to interact with me because I'm not OFFICIALLY out of the org. So you need to consider the consequences of a mtg w/CO & DO. At this point I would LOVE to meet with them. Skeptic1914

I skipped the MS meeting with the CO during my exit. It was great.

The quicker the better. You will be screwed over by friends and family regardless of how you exit. I would recommend one swift kick in the nuts and be done with it verses 200 punches elsewhere.

When we faded we stopped going to all meetings at once. It worked perfectly. My husband had just been appointed MS and all of a sudden bam! We were gone gone gone. Pretty embarassing for the elders!

They used to come and bother us and knock on the door. Both cars in the driveway, TV on, us talking. We didn't care. We just didn't answer the door, even when the CO came by.

Eventually we moved. The last time someone came by our new place because my sister told them where we live, they asked me how I felt about the truth. I said, "I don't give it much thought."

That was a conversation stopper worth sharing. You should try it.

"Sooooo, you've been missing the meetings and have stopped turning in time. We want to know what you're thinking."

"Oh, I don't even think about it. Sorry. I'll try and hit a meeting one of these days. Sayonara!"
