FADED IN 1998, and will re-appear once Lady C and I have completed our book, we have been invited to so many churches here in DC to speak on JW- The knock at the Door- smile

I was going to meetings a few years ago, then faded, then started going to meetings again, then I found this board and other information on the internet and started investigating, and have faded again, this time for good. Beth

Im not a fader, I'm active, but I understand the truth about the truth.

I am a fader - started slowing down in meeting attendance when I was having a hard time keeping my second baby quiet during the meetings and felt awkward (three yrs ago). Sealed my decision when the elders, during a shepherding call to encourage stronger meeting attendance, encouraged me to bring a wooden spoon to meetings to control my 18 month old..been back maybe three times since.

Have you looked into what the law as far as slander, etc.? I've considered writing an expose, but am not even sure if writing such a book could lead me into the a possible suit with the WTS.

I' ve been a fader for almost 10 years. It's been almost that long since I stopped going door to door or reporting time. It's been three years since I've been to a meeting, and even then I was not regular. I still go to the Memorial (travel out of town to attend my mom's hall) and usually get some of the DA in, although I can't stand all three days. Once and a while I'll attend a CA, mostly with my mom, and from time to time visit my inlaws assemblies just to keep up the facade.

i was invisible before i quit going to the meetings..so, i'm a fader ... not that anyone cared enough to notice.

I faded through feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness, only later discovering it was a bucket full of shit.

I am a 3rd generation'er. Was a MS for many years and an elder for three years. Started my fade around 1995. Last time in service September 1997, last meeting attended spring 2004. The very last time I ever will talk to an elder fall 2004. Wife still in which has made it difficult and explains the amount of time it took.
