Elder Explains NGO Issue...Now It Is Clear!

quite a while ago an older sister stopped by my door, and stupid me, i let her know my life story in a nutshell.

faded for 7 years, former ministerial servant, blah blah blah.

i think the reason i did it is that she reminded me of my mom and she caught me at a weak moment.

what do you miss most about being in the truth!?!?!

Trying to fade slowly....

by nemo in

i am trying to fade slowly, but am finding this increasingly difficult.

i can't sit through a meeting, i had to leave at the 1/2 the other day, because of my recent enlightenment, the hypocrisy is to much for me to take.

as i left you could see the looks on people faces, "oh she's just not spritual enough".

Is there a reason for a slow fade, as opposed to a disassociation? After we stopped attending meetings, and we actually had time to do some independent research -- reading the Bible (NOT the NWT), Crisis of Conscience, Awakenings of a Jehovah's Witness --- we were very convinced we were never going back.

BUT, hiding out, or moving, or avoiding the elders/publishers seemed like we were obsessing about : 1)being found out ; 2) being disfellowshipped, and 3) worrying about what others were thinking about us.

By giving them that power, it seems like you are still in subjection to them (Just my opinion!)

For me, I needed to make a bold statement and say - "You guys are screwed up! I AM SO OUTTA HERE!" In actuality, my DA letter was a simple, one sentence statement -- nothing for the rumor mill. Just the facts. For me, it was a clean break. Starting over. Turning the page. All of the cliches come to life.

my 2 cents
