Wow! Im not surprized. I hope the Catholic Church gets ahold of this and tells their members that every time a JW comes to their door to question them on this matter. It makes me sick to think that my donations in the past went towards such perverts as this. Thanks for posting this much needed information.

hello all.... sat around the campfire this weekend and laughed our butts off coming up with jeff foxworthy type humor.
it was so funny we thought it would be fun to run a thread here... i'll start.... "if your only yearly vacation is a "trip" to the district convention...you might be a jw.".
everyone else on earth that God created is going to die because they dont have the jw name behind them
if you are in a car group of women and you forgot to take your depression meds and everyone else pulls them out of their purse
when an earthquake happens you think the end is right around the corner

if you are pioneering and need to get your time in and you go on vacation and stop at every rest stop to leave mag. so you can count your time.
if you can ask people religious questions but they cant ask you
if you look forward to the convention so you can see how much weight people have gained over the year

"if your first christmas ornamate at age 39 says: "baby's 1st christmas"...you might be an apostate!".

if you have shirts that show cleavage or skirts above the knee
if you would rather go to disney world rather than a convention
if you sleep in on saturday morning
if you join the YMCA (thats me)
if you tell your kids they can now have b-day treats from the kids at school and they now can sing along and not have to leave the room
if you have a life
if you show up for a family reunion and you are the only ones that show up except immediate family (because everyone else is afraid you might talk to them about what you now know)
if your kids are in sports
if you sit around making jeff foxworthy jw jokes
if you say a bad word out loud instead of just in your mind

You have the desire to stand on the sidewalk during thursday night meeting with a sign that says "Come on in carnival inside, giving away king size candy bars, oh and dont forget the halloween costume contest"
to what extent has the growth of the "fade" been facilitated by internet forums such as this?
sure there were people who chose to fade in the pre-internet era, simply by withdrawing themselves, gradually involving themselves with non-witnesses to a greater extent, or getting in touch with other ex-witnesses covertly through the convention system/telephone and mailing support network that used to be more important before the advent of the internet.
so the "fade" is not an invention of the internet era, not en entirely "new phenomenon".
hey black pearl, you always make me laugh. the things you come up with! u r nuts
i am angry because my adult children who are active jw's think i should be dead or suffer for not being a witness and i supported them comfortably and they shunned me and show hate i am sad and probably won't do the chemo thing and just let nature take its course.
any ideas?
i am taking pain meds so this is probably messed up with my message help.
hambeak- i know i dont know you personally but if you let nature take its course than you are only letting them win. My parents told my sister and i they were leaving the org. and we hardly talked to them for over a year. one day something just sparked and we called to ask them a question and then more questions and now my family and my sisters family are no longer jw's. dont give up on them. they are only doing what they have been brainwashed to do.
.
i' curious how everyone came up with these unique alias names.
my partner gave me mine because my favorite meat is ham.. hambeak
I guess because the night before I became a member I watched Mrs.C part 2
i don't usuallypost about personal issues; i am still fading; besides, i was raised in a family that would say we were doing well even if our house was burning down.. for the last month i have been stressing about seeing family from the west coast; my brother, out for many years but now back in and gung ho, is bringing his son and daughter out.
family reunion, of sorts.
i wanted to host, but then i realized that my disfellowshipped daughter would not be included.
Ok so I must say I am impressed. What book did you get that out of? Just kidding. Good job bub. Hopefully this will help many get through tough times.
