So I know a lady in her 60's (I think) that is an atheist that still goes door to door. She's in too deep to leave. I asked her how she goes in service. She tries to go to doors by herself (not always possible) and either does the old air knock where she pretends to knock or ring. If she is with someone or stumbles upon a person at home she simply has a prepared scripture that has a nice secular message and reads it to the person and says she's just giving people a positive thought for the day and leaves. She isn't placing literature, just sharing a nice thought, telling them to have a great day, and moving on. No damage done.

Conversation
by jdash inso this morning i had a conversation with my grandmother about going out in service.
remind you i'm only 17. i tried to ask her why i had to go out in service if this isn't what i believe in and whatnot.
she went on saying basically these are the rules for this house.

Yeah, that whole "breeding act" statement was just so awkward and cringeworthy. They just can't speak like normal human beings. Everything is so fake and strange. I remember even as a kid going to my mom with the YPA book, or maybe it was the articles in the Awake, and being like "who talks like this". If they wanted to speak to young people they should have spoken to them like normal human beings, not the fake ass posers they were. This is just more of the same. They're just humans that have had the humanity drummed out of them. They are empty inside.

Yep, it's all about time. You're just newly out. They will fade. It all fades, but I don't think it will ever fully go away.

Lmao at all of the people that say that disassociating is admitting they have power over you...... from a bunch of people that are on a forum all about Jehovah's Witnesses. It's just admitting the truth and not living in denial. I'd rather live in reality. Disassociation puts up a wall between you and the cult. I don't care who came up with the word or process, it truly puts a distance in that fading can't give you. It is way more freeing than fading and having to hide your real self to play their game. Disassociate, be done, and take a stand. Don't fade and give implicit validation of their way of life, take a stand against it. Be willing to lose everyone you ever knew. It takes courage but makes more of a statement than slinking away into the night.
The cult has a measure of power over all of us. We wouldn't all be here if it didn't. It took so much from us. Use this one opportunity to take a stand against it and disassociate.
If a person wants to fade for family reasons that's cool too, just don't prop yourselves up on the backs of those that took a stand. Your decision ends with you, no reason to push down those that disassociate to feel better. If you're making your own decision you don't need to compare. I only did so here because I'm tired of the anti-disassociation rhetoric and people that discourage very personal decisions made by others. It sucks.

If you haven't had your meeting you can probably DA. It's up to them. They may say "you can't quit, you're fired", but who knows.
