i am still new to the business of fading and once i stop attending the memorial with all the dubs around me, my former friends will definitly put my shepherding call on hold.

i am sure some of the friends faded quick and never turn their back toward the kingdom hall again.

i am curious if others took a longer approach to fading and dropping off completly.

The last time I was in a kh was for a memorial and that was 1992 or so. I had stopped attending regularly for a few years by that time and the memorial was the only time I did for a few, kinda like when people go to Christmas or Easter mass or something. But I stopped as I had to make the break from all that and was no longer interested in belief.

A word of caution

by Socrateswannabe in

please forgive me if you consider this to be presumptuous, i know i am an ultra-newbie here.

but, i see a lot of threads on jwn that read something like, "what is your dog's name" or "where's your favorite vacation spot", "what's your special name for your spouse", etc.

i give the opening posters of these threads the benefit of the doubt that they are creating them simply for entertainment purposes.

But if there are others with malicious intent who lurk here, couldn't they start a database of all these "fun" posts, and perhaps by a sort of trianglation of crossfire, nail someone's identity? Unlikely, I'm sure, but still a possibility?

Anything's possible but that would be far too much work and too orwellian, even for the average dub. And the higher up you go, the less concerned they are with individuals, in most organizations. So it's rather unlikely to be "outed" that way. More likely by befriending a poster under false pretenses.

It's always good policy to limit personal info on the web in general and be vague in direct contact until time and trials say otherwise. If of course, you've something to lose.

Boundary Changes for Congregations and Secrecy

by Vienna Angelika in

jw
friends

right now the congregations in winnipeg are undergoing major boundary changes which will be put in action at the beginning of february.

our congregation is supposed to find out today but i decided to ask some people i knew who went the previous meeting if we were going to be put together with the people at our old congregation who are shunning me.

even though they knew, they refused to tell me because "the society" told them not to tell us.

Twitch

This happened here about 20 yrs ago or so as I recall, a few years after I left. The cong I went to was dissolved/absorbed into another and some properties were sold, at least the hall I went to was. I drive by it every now and then; it's on a major route. Seems like a lifetime ago.

CLOUD ATLAS: a movie or a life experience?

by Terry in

my 19 year old daughter lily and i attended the opening day of cloud atlas.. .

i would suggest you watch this little "overview" before continuing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubk647t944a&feature=bfa&list=plvfin74qx3twq2dnqx5f4wlrrr5b-pez7.

movies can be a lot of things ranging from mindless entertainment, spectacle, diversion, exploitation and such to straight storytelling.. what movies almost never are is what cloud atlas is.. what is it?.

Twitch

I liked it. One of those movies where you'd get something new each with each viewing
