Yep, it is very sad that people, even JWs, find ways to justify their ignorance, racism, bigotry, etc.
You did the right thing by not beating her up with so many witnesses around. She wasn't worth the assault charge. Save those for something/someone better.

Summary:
Don't tell your parents anything about your lifestyle that they would view as a sin (whether in a gloating manner or a matter-of-fact manner. Just don't do it.)
Do not contact the Hall. If your parents rat you out, post again, and then we convene council once more to discuss strategy -

Nice hit on the gold appreciation.
This global economy is something else, isn't it?
Look for more on this in the next few weeks. -

How Many People Did You Help Come Into The "Truth"?
by minimus inmy major claim to fame was that i studied with a family that i found from house to house and all 6 got baptized.
within a year's time, the mom and daughter got baptized and then within the next year and a half all the others followed suit.
2 of the kids became bethelites and the other daughter became an elder's wife.

None.
In retrospect, I hope that I sparked their interest in spirituality, but I am relieved that no one is in the organization because of me. -

The psychological effects of faking dubism
by LtCmd.Lore inwell, i've known the truth about the witnesses for over two years.
and i've been pretending to be one ever since.
i'm sure most of us did that for a period of time, some longer than others.. i think it has changed my personality, especially since i've been a teenager the whole time.. .

Sounds like your plan is going well.
Get out as soon as you can, as the psychic debts for the lies will be paid in some way. -

Why no warnings against "fading" in the literature?
by sir82 init has been pretty firmly established that the wts monitors ex-jw discussion boards generally, this one in particular.. on this forum and others, the strategy of "fading" is often discussed.
fading can be defined as gradually lessening one's activity in the congregation to the point where he virtually "disappears", becoming inactive & attending virtually no meetings.
thus, a more or less "normal" life can be achieved without the stigma and privations of disfellowshipping.. other ideas on how to get around the pain of disfellowshipping discussed on this type of forum have been discussed, if not in the literature, at least in boe letters.

"disturbed by organization doctrine or by the conduct of its leadership."
Exactly.
They don't want that to be the issue. So they paint anyone who leaves as weak, crazy, or selfish/greedy for material things and fleshly pleasures. -

My initial goal wasn't to bring anyone else out. It was to get them not to bug me about coming back. This was accomplished by bringing up the pedophile protection plan that was recently outed via court judgments.

Good thoughts in this thread.
The WTBTS already address the symptoms of the fader constantly. They continually warn against slacking off in your service. -
