The Rest of My Story-The Fading Years
by okiesooner1966 in
1. jw
2. experiences
i would like to start by saying the years following high school were probably even more stressful than before.

the very day i graduating i moved out of my parents house, it took all of three weeks to get my next commitee meeting.

i did a horrible thing by going on a graduation trip with some of my classmates, even though all did was party like it any other kid my age, which thier parents paid for thier trp it was enough for me to be disassociated, though i was not baptized at the time it was the same as being disfellowshipped.

What kinds of fading techniques have you used?
by ldrnomo in
1. jw
2. experiences
some of you may have seen my post in jedi masters topic but if you haven't i will re-post it here:.

i'm new to the site, my wife and i are are doing the fade we still have a son and daughter-in-law who are still in so we don't want to get hung.

i was an elder for 25 years and was removed because i didn't agree with the gb on an important issue and spoke privately and with trust to another elder who broke that trust and told the other elders and co about my disagreement.

1. jw
2. experiences
here is part of my story until i have more time.

i am know 30 years old, i have been married for almost 9 years to someone who has no relgous ties at all.

i was baptized when i was 19 due to pressure from my family, they wanted me to to get baptized when i was 16. i think i may hold the record for most comitee meetings probably about 20, i was publilcly reproved and disassociated.
