I kinda always had doubts about this faith since childhood. 9 years ago tho is when I really started questioning whether I wanted to stay in this or not and became inactive off and on. 3 years ago is when I knew this was NOT my faith and became solidly inactive but knowing how my family would react I have been trying to fade. My family will know where I stand when they find out I didnt go to the DC this year and that will make it official.

my parents sent their da letter back in march.

my mom bumped into a jw who has been a friend since 1985, in fact they were baptized the same day at the same convention.

this particular jw quit attending meetings in 1996. my mom saw her in a grocery store.
