1) how long have you been a fader for?.

I'm curious about the following:
1) How long have you been a fader for?
2) How often do you still get pressure from congregation members and/or family to return as an active witness?
3) What is the longest period you have ever known anyone to successfully fade? A successful fade in my view, would be someone who has faded for a period of time but no longer receives any pressure to return to active service (completely left alone).
4) If you have been a fader for more than two years, do you fear you would eventually have to face DA or DF?
5) As faders, how many of you are being treated as if you were DF'd/DA'd?
6) Have you faded rather than DA'd due to the possible loss family or is it because you have no network of friends outside the Org?
7) If you consider yourself a fader how many meetings/assemblies/ field service groups do you still attend on average per month?
8) As a fader do you feel that the Org is completely powerless over your life?
I have been paying a lot of attention to the forum members who are fading or contemplating this option vs. DA and I would like to put it into a statistical format if I can.
All your input, help and answers would be greatly appreciated, thank you folks!

Hero Movies
by jws ini know this is a bit off the topic of religion, but i just got back from seeing ant man with my son.
i'm getting tired of the fact that hollywood (and in this case the action/hero genre) rarely seems to have an original thought.
has anybody noticed the same theme?.

It's why my favorite movies are more about dialogue. Once in a while I'll watch a sc-fi movie but generally I can't stand them. I haven't even read a work of fiction since the early 90's. Nowadays it seems they realy more on SFX than a good story. -

Do you find it hard to be around active JW's now?
by EdenOne ini do - actually, it's become close to unbearable.. and herein lies the paradox: i tried to fade in the illusion that i might keep contact with family and friends still "in".
was it worth it?
because not only most of them shun me anyways, but i find it almost unbearable to be around them, especially when the cult chit chat kicks in: every cute animal video clip triggers endless comments about glimpses of the future paradise and how "god did it"; those greasy praises to the organization and the governing body; the dumb awe about every jw broadcast and those cheesy music videos; the endless drivel against other religions when one knows perfectly well that we're no better than them; the endless flow of "experiences" of field service or spectacular conversions into "the truth"; the relentless congregation gossip; and so on .... i ask myself: is this why i am fading for ...?

VI:
The ARC have also investigated the RCC, so it's illustrating that the JWs are the more reprehensible of all the institutions.

Hahaha Viv! Seriously after seeing how he conducts arguments with you I would rather go and argue with a mouldy slice of bread, at least I could use my imagination to conduct a decent argument on its behalf. -

Fisherman:
Does gay marriages open the door to bigamist, polygamist, and practicing bestiality?Come on you have to be pulling our legs? There is no way an intelligent person could possibly use this as a logical argument. And for the record I have no problem with anyone that wants to practice bigamy or polygamy even though it's against the law in this country.

JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)
by cofty ini popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.
i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.
i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

Is it worth making a JW Talk profile?
by Lemonp ini have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.
is it any use making a profile to get in?
mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.
