  the number of jw's is between 6 and 7 million people.

  many ex-jw's would love to see the .

  news make a bigger deal of jw-related scandals and news items.

  Can you imagine how distressing life in "Paradise" will be with such a small group having to rebuild the destroyed world? And to make things worse, they will have to do it without the necessary technology, since all educated people will be D.E.A.D. Why doesn't the FDS portray THAT in the publications.

  How to fade successfully?

  by Maddie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want to fade from the org but i am not really sure how many meetings i should miss to begin with.

  is it best to decrease them gradually or go once a month?

  i have a son and baby grand daughter that are jw's and belong to a different congregation.

  A fade will be that much easier if you can switch congregations. If you "forget" to make the switch official, it will add to the confusion. Just start attending some meetings with the other congregation, and make sure you don't establish a pattern that's easy to figure out

  This is exactly what worked for me! When I moved away, I never even bothered to have my record card transferred. I attended a couple meetings in the new area and the Service Overseer made up a temporary card for me. Within that very month I simply stopped attending. I believe each congregation had assumed I went to the other.

  I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized the Truth was a load of crap. I had a very hard time believing that serving God was meant to be such a burden. Afterwards, it took some effort to "rewire" my brain, but I'm getting there.

  All right, which one of you guys did it?

  (j/k but i do wish to subscribe to your newsletter).

  i had an interesting dinner conversation a few evenings ago with my staunch jw 'rental unit.

  it started out with the usual small talk that eventually led to them bringing up the plane crash with the rbc members.

  I remember those days ... when it was actually important to me. Sisters would make new clothes, buy new shoes, pick out new service bags ... yuck!

  on the front page of the km in the branch letter it was proudly annouced that 51 million kingdom news.

  the best example that they could point to to show the success of this work was after.

  receiving a copy, an inactive sister had trouble sleeping.

  I came to a realization just now, how about you?

  2. friends

  i have been inactive now for over a half a year, and i am just now realizing that there was not one thing i enjoyed about being a witness.

  i enjoyed my friends and association with witnesses, and still do.

  but i didn't enjoy one thing that we were supposed to do, not one.

  I think what I enjoyed most was when the meeting, conventions, assemblies, memorials, field service, return visits, bible studies, personal study, C.O. visits and sheperding calls were OVER!!

  my online friend who was baptized at 12 years old has finally decided she couldn't make it as a jw anymore.

  with 2 dfs and major depression under her belt, no longer will she be living her life for the elders.

  until armageddon comes" since she's a goner anyway (serving jehovah with wrong motivation, not out of love).. her father recently died, .
