  Does it bother you to realize that life is normal for those left behind?

  you know when you leave a religion or a place you worked at for a long time.

  you want to feel that perhaps there will be a missing irreplaceable piece, that represents the effort you put into the work.

  you know what i talking about, the comment at work of "this place would be lost without me" or in the religion "i am the main person who encourages field service around here.

  The reason I arrived, and why I'm still here...

  thanks to lilycurly, i don't think i will be able to even nominally remain a witness for much longer.

  the whole "fading" thing goes against the grain anyway.. i arrived here, as my first venture into ex-jw land, as a lurker.

  within a few hours, i spotted two people i knew whoto my surprisehad not yet become ex-ex-jws but were still posting here.

  there's some real nasty stuff going on in my family right now - many of my worst fears about being shunned are coming true and i fear for my mum's health because of all the stress she's under - seriously!.

  but i just cannot bring myself to discuss it.

  i'm just so sick and tired of the whole thing...

  .

  for those of you in a serious relationship, is your partner "worldly", an ex dub, or a current dub?.

  my wife is an ex dub like me.. it certainly helps that she understands why i am the way i am, and the actions of her in - laws.. what about you?

  Did being a witness make you lose your social skills?

  i am out of the borg now about two years - but can say that i still have no social group in my life to replace them.

  i participate in several activities that i consider social in nature - this board as example.

  i have some 'acquaintances', but no real social structure in my life.

  Please don`t read if you are a current witness and have doubts.

  well i am new to the board, i have faded away from the truth lies about 6 years ago.

  it still has an effect on me today, so much so i gave the warning in the title.

  this is because one of the things drilled into me, was that its far worse to lead a member of the flock away.
