    I was around the witnesses since age 6 and baptized at 22. I was in for about 9 years as I began fading in 1995. No memorials for the past 7 years.

    1963 Born-in

    November, 1975 Hmm, guess I'll have to go to high school after all

    1984 Dunked, age 21

    1988 Appointed MS

    1993 Moved out of area, no longer MS. Wife and I became progressively more irregular.

    1999 Met with a judicial committee; guess I was repentant enough to not get DF. Although I didn't plan it that way, after the JC I ended up never going back into a KH. Wife had pretty much already faded.

    2000 Celebrated my first holiday (Millenium New Years), age 36. Discovered that they were super fun!

    2006 Told my still-in mom and sister that I had faded. They proceeded to shun me, and continue to do so, even though I had never DA or been DF.

    2008 Moved out of the country. Now amused when I see Chinese JWs.

    Baptized at 13 i 1969. Was PO for some years. The evil confirmed one more time last year. That was my last memorial. Stopped meeting last summer. Still inside because they have my children and grandchildren as hostages. Soon or later something will happen, I know, that will force me to make the choice officially. Nice, innocent people (actually victims) in an evil organization.
