1) 2-3 years
2) once every few months. Only from elders who just want to check in and "make sure everything is ok"
3) my fiend. 10+ years. He's fallen of the organization radar. Only his folks pressure.
4) DA yes. Done plenty to be df'd. But what they don't know won't get me there.
5) family treats me as df'd. Maybe a little less but not much. Just on technicality. Congregation just cautious. It's awkward for them because I'm social and have people over and get close to them to its messes with their head I think.
6) I know if I DA it's final. I'm not coming back at all. So don't really want to out mom through it and I have some very close friends around the country that I don't want to alienate. Mostly I don't da to keep wife from being alienated.
7) 2-3 Sundays. Stopped doing midweek meeting. Assemblies still go with wife. Just for her.
8) I'm about 95% but closer to letting go of that 5% every day.
