    This is weird, but yesterday my wife was driving to different houses in the neighborhood trying to find out who was going to have candy out for the kids on Halloween. The properties are fairly large and they all have gates so she didn't want to walk this evening in the dark aimlessly with our kids for our first Halloween together. Anyway she gets to one of our neighbors has a good convo and she says don't bother asking the neighbors they don't celebrate Halloween. My wife asked Why?(Of course the JDub flags went up) The woman said they are Jehovahs Witnesses. THey told her that they dont celebrate the holidays but this will BE THE FIRST YEAR THEY CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING... my wife laughed and told her that we were JDubs previously and the woman busts out laughing because she never would have thought so.

    SHe asked my wife if she minds if she tells them. Of course you can tell them she says. We plan to make a visit this evening with our children and get the full scoop this evening.

    What is interesting is that they are going to this womans home for their FIRST THANKSGIVING. SO are they on the way out? Are they afraid to not be friendly and accepting her request? I can not wait to find out what the deal is

    CONFISEDANDALONE- It would be a good thing to proactively meet these fading JW's to see if you know them and have a conversation in order to determine how much they've faded. And to offer your friendship because as most of us ex-JW's know - we lose many friendships exiting the JW cult. So I eagerly look forward to hearing what more you are able to find out about them

    You seem to attract faders and waverers, like that woman who used to be in bethel. You and your wife must put out good vibes.

    Julia I think the problem is we dont shut up about it LOL.

    We aren't hiding it at all. We jsut got back in from trick or treating. We went to their home but no one answered so my wife is going to go by tomorrow at lunch since the wife does not work.

    Mr. Flipper I will most definitely reach out to them I hope that they arent the scaredy type
