My fade has hit the fan!

by SophieG in

hi guys!

well the caca hit the fan!

a friend asked me why i am leaving the org and i told her.

jwfacts has a great point, when I initiated my fade, I tempered it with I Still believe in God, and Jesus is his son and my allegiance is to them. NOT the org (Borg) When the GB posted that WT article that "our salvation depends on how we treat the GB on earth today" I took exception and asked to show me in the bible where we are to follow a man on earth or group of men. No one in my family could show me that so they said " ok we understand"

It is a bridge, but alas a small token/gesture on how to keep the family, but not go to meetings.

Hope all goes well for you in the coming days/weeks/months. As long as you stay calm and cool, you will be fine

and remember always play golf on SAt and Sundays helps

Borg court: 3rd session & verdict

by sd-7 in

jw

so...the third and final session was pretty straightforward.

they basically asked some more questions about the first woman, before i got back with the woman who became my wife.

then they asked what seemed like nothing more than a customer survey of "how are we doin'?

Hey Sd-7 (Christopher)

Been reading your plight, and I have to say you are VERY VERY Brave, not sure if I would endure what you have been exposed to. But I choose to "Fade" and let that work for me.

I too have a Wife, that is "Still in" so I feel for you. You have my thoughts and good wishes going to you via SCI-FI KArma (I heard you can buy that in the back of the Comic Books stores now.

Anyway I think OTWO and JAmie are right in their comments, you did the best you can and you are VERY BravE!

We are all behind you and know you did the right thing for yourself and your wife.

However if I am not mistaken my Tax lady said a "joint return/refund" has to go in a "joint checking account" IRS Rules she said (Federal) your State if you have such, may have a different rule.

Chin up man!

You can do it

Are YOU a Thinker?

the recovering thinker.

hi, my name is bob, and i am a recovering thinker..... it started out innocently enough: i began thinking at meetings now and then to loosen up.

inevitably though, one thought led to another and soon i was more than just a theocratic thinker.

Mrs Cedars and I try an interesting diet...

i guess no matter what country you live in, the costs of food and everything are going up.

it's certainly no different where mrs cedars and i live, and we're noticing a huge increase on our monthly spending for basic commodities - especially food and drink.. normally when we go shopping i tend to stock up on drinks - mostly beer, wine, and fizzy drinks like coke, fanta or sprite.

i tend to be quite picky with my fizzy drinks, and i can't really tolerate cheap "store brand" imitations.
