Yes, I was still a JW five years ago .
Husband , son and I had final meeting Memorial 2006 , although we were already inactive and not attending a few months before that
.Been active here the last two yrs. Not a newbie.
I was out about 20 years ago.
5 years ago I was an exemplary Bethelite
2001...elder...pioneer...assembly speaker.
2002...wrongfully df-ed
2003...wrongfully reinstated (how the hell did the holy spirit do that?)
2004...pioneered again
2005...memorial..left and never returned
tijkmo...of the better to burn out than fade away class
Five years ago, I was still a loyal JW although suppressing doubts.
I've been inactive for over a year.
I've been out over 5 years.
I actually lost another friend yesterday over this. I guess that's what usually happens when most of your JW friends are hardliners. I have one close friend in the org now, but i've never expressed any doubts to him.
(((((R.F.)))))- That's pretty normal- happens to a lot of us. I lost most of my witness friends long ago- never worry though there are more friends to be made in the "world"
You know, what's cool is I've since run into 2 of my best friends from grade school and we've restarted our once "forbidden friendship". They were some of the best friends I ever had.
Yeah I suppose I'd have called myself a witness five years ago (if there were other witnesses listening)
Back in 2002, I was still active as a Witless, but I was putting only one hour a month and going to one meeting every other week or so. I didn't really mean it then.
Now, I am only a Witless on paper (an inactive one at that). Barring being recaptured by those good-for-nothing "do-gooders" that want to stop me from getting disfellowshipped at all costs, I am never going to do anything that would identify me as an active Witless again.
gotta be at least 10 years for me......;) memories....
