  i stopped going to meetings five years ago.

  all my family are jws.

  why does my mother still give me a memorial invitation even though i don't go?

  Why does guilt often remain so long with those who've left the JWs?

  i would be interested in getting people's input in why so many jws - including me from time to time, though less so now - seem to be burdened by guilt after they've left, even after they've successfully faded and aren't being hassled by family or elders.

  is it a residual leftover of the indoctrination over the years?

  i welcome your comments.

  why is today the only day of the year when i feel guilty about having left the jws?

  it's memorial day and i didn't go.

  my last memorial was in 2006. last year was my first non-attendance.

  This is my first post after many years of reading this site

  this is my first post after many years of reading this site.

  i am from the west midlands, england.

  i was raised as a jw and got baptised aged 17, started "fading" whilst at university when i started to broaden my outlook and realised that all the so-called "worldly people" i had for so long been encouraged to avoid associating with were actually often open-minded, honest, generous and loyal people.
