I got baptized because I thought it was the right thing to do, and I really wanted to move up the WT corporate ladder be used by the organization, just like any other brother that felt that the best thing for them was to be used in this way.

I don't see what the problem with the video is supposed to be. As was stated already, that's very tame in comparison other things i've seen.

The game is great so far! I think GB will pull off the win though.
And I hope Favre is ok.

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.

They already put tons of pressure on people who leave but still believe it is the truth. If they where to start condemning them and saying that they where possible apostates it could cause a real mess. The Watchtower doesn't want to cause people not to come back who actually may.
My thoughts exactly.
It's quite common to see some drift away and then go back. The WTS surely doesn't want to do anything to keep the "weak" away.
