It can be very lonely in a full KH. Your story is my story!
What I hate is the "nice to see you back again" talks to my wife, while i'm ignored.
so last thursday was meeting day.
my wife knows my thoughts on this religion and respects my fade and is completely ok with it (which surprised me, and also made me love her even more).
i think she must know it's all crack-pot stuff but seeing as her whole family are all in and about 98% of them cant even explain their beleifs without a watchtower on hand i think she's just going along for the friends/family/social side of it.

please be advised that none of this is made up.
a giant replica of noah's ark just crashed into a norwegian coast guard patrol.
the ark was being towed to rio for the special olympics.
The Flying Dutchman!
This ark is build in the Netherlands and does some touring around the globe.
It seems like it has had his best time.

Hi Anders,
We attend the Utrecht convention. I think about it to download Ray Franz to my Ipad. And James Penton. Good read. And Richard Singelenbergs 1975 research, for these bunker times.

Bohm,
There is a lot pressure from the wider family that has a lot of influence in our house. Because it is a special international convention with a lot of activity around it, the last convention in a stadium before it is centralized into a JW convention hall, because we didn't attend last year, because the end is so near.
For one or another reason the atmosphere here has changed to serious.

This is how I feel:
my eyes for ttatt opened in 1995 with the generation change and the wt magazine stated "some witness thought that the generation started in 1914".
since 1997, with internet at low speed, i followed h2o hourglass, www.xjw.com and later on www.jehovahs-witness.net.. did a bachelor and post bachelor since then.. now, nearly completed with fading, i feel it's time to go on with my life and do some other things, spending more time with my wife abd children instead of thinking about jw topics in my head.
goal is being a better person and less grumpy at 45.... everything what could be said is already said.
Friends, thanks for your warm reply. I will come back from time to time and let you know how things are. If there is some greater news from Holland I let you know.
All I want for now is some rest and more focus on my direct family. Life is too short. So no more daily JWD etc. for me. Distance from the subject to grow further.
See you later, here at some time.
Much love to all here!

Have a good summer (this week started for real here in Holland). Take care!

the lesson 22 video or better called anti gay video went viral.. there is another thread that main dutch media covered it in their articles.. i wanted to write to one of the biggest swiss newspapers about it.
that newspaper also covered the controversy about the "meeting" cartoon, where the message is made that if jw children don't listen at the meetings they might get killed finally.. then i realized that it is not available in german.. it is available in so many other languages, like guarani (never heard of that language), but german is missing.. are they afraid to offer it in german?
do they expect too much controversy in germany?.
@Anders Andersen, alles goed hier.
That's what it is. The debit card payment at conventions is original a Dutch idea (one of the CO's). They introduced it without permission from Brooklyn and removed the terminals. 1 or 2 year later jw.org introduced it worldwide.
Sometimes I like the own look and feel here. But not to much, we are fading now since 2007.

Thanks Anders Andersen for your classification of the Dutch.
I think they are not that bad at all. They are and have always been "preacher and merchant", a good balance.
The Dutch JW are known for not following rules to strict. Many have contact with excommunicated JW's.
That's not a real problem overhere. Paying taxes is also not their main concern. Using illegal software and Popcorn Time, most JW do.
I think that's different with US JW's.
