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!
