Question about the fade

The Big Machine

I know there are a lot of threads on here about fading and I've read a lot of them, but I have a question that I haven't found the answer to yet.

What would happen if you move to a new congregation (or at least tell your old congregation that you are moving and to have your records moved), and you don't go to any meetings? I see lots of the fading strategies say to go to some meetings and show your face until your name is announced. What exactly happens if you don't go to meetings in the new congregation?

You live happily ever after, falling through their big ol' cracks. Best way to fade.

It really depends on how "busybody" the old congo is. If they find out what happened, they may call the new congo and have some hounders come to your house and track you down.

Also, the cards aren't moved until the new congo requests them from the old congo. So in your situation the cards would just stay there and eventually the secretary would wonder WTF is going on because he hasn't gotten a letter from your new congo requesting the cards and letter of introduction.

Just be sure not to give out your new address and you might want to change your cell phone numbers so you can't be reached.

I don't mind giving out my cell number since I don't answer it if I don't recognize the number. And my address is really far out of the territory. You see, about 10 years ago I was able to change congregations for "work reasons" (though it was actually because of a few elders who were out to get me). And now I'm changing congregations for the same "reason", though now it's to fade. So I'm not too worried about people dropping by when I'm pretty far out of the territory. Even if they do, I just won't open the door.

Sounds like you have it all covered! Welcome to the real, fun, and rewarding part of your lives!!

Thanks cultBgone! And thanks for the answers to my question. So I guess I have to go a few times until they get my records. Then completely stop.

Doing exactly that right now - and it's working perfectly!!

No making new friends, no F.S., no assemblies, and only occasional meeting to keep covered for any visiting relatives.

So technically for it to work properly, you need to go to a couple meetings at the "new" hall. that way things move over seamlessly. You can go to enough that you are considered a weak one. then stop going all together. Wear your pants too high, and shuffle around looking at your belt buckle and eating fritos with dirty fingernails.

You won't get any visits.

Choose a new congo that is in the opposite direction of where you live.

Also, do you have a worldly friend or relative in that opposite direction?

Use their address - and if anyone shows up at that address, have them say that you moved away - don't know where.
