  hi guys long time no see.

  i just have a question about my personal congregation file.

  recently i made a request to the elders to return my personal file but i haven't heard a whisper from the elders and its been months so i wrote them again this time with a time frame of 14 days and its now been over a month and still no response.

  smoked our first cigar today!.

  i know most of you probably see this as a "who cares" moment - but after 13 years of marriage - both of us fading over the last 5 months or so she finally out of nowhere said "i really have always wanted to smoke a cigar!".

  i have many times before but it was a first for her.

  Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

  by dissonance_resolved in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

  but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

  i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

  what did you decide to do?.

  leave with a bang, trying to educate those around you before leaving?

  perhaps writing letters to others forgiving/ asking for forgiveness.. or.

  do you own a 4wd vehicle?

  by Glander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if so, and it's the type that requires you to switch to 4wd, how often do you use that capability?

  i know more than a few people with 4wd capability but never use it.

  a couple of these folks don't even know what it's for.

  life is so short and being a witness is such a waste of valuable time.. now, i do not feel rushed or compelled to be at a meeting or out in field service.

  much less stress!.
