Nickolas - I am in the same shoes as you...Some times I feel so alone even with my husband sitting right by me... Because we just arent on the same page of life anymore, even tho I love him deeply. Our lives are moving in different derections and the more I try to stop it the gap just gets bigger and bigger. I do not know what is in store for my husband and I but I hope we work it for our childs sake. Its hard to be in this stop because you want a happy life and you want your mate to have all the same joys in life as you know she should have. The only problem is you have a group of people telling her she will never be in the new sysytem if she ejoys her life, her marraige... Thats hard a hard thing to fight against...

Should I contact the Society and tell them I want out?
by sinis inas of late i have been thinking about this.
my sig other and i have successfully faded, and the last kh i attended (cards were moved to) was like 8+ years ago.
i really do not care either way, however i have been asking myself as of late if i should.

I think if it bothers you to still be apart of the org, I would mail the letter......................However for me out of sight out of mind.....And why give them anything to say about you. You do not owe them anything, and if your family member chose to shun you then that is her choice, not your fault. You can not feel guility for what another chose to do.
I personally would not waste my time after being out so long anyway.....They aren't worth the stamp its going to cost you to mail the letter...

Have the rules changed for inactive people?
by cognac incause i see a bunch of inactive doing disfellowshipping things and its known by the elders and the elders aren't doing anything because they are inactive.... so, just wondering if the rules have changed, or there is more of a loophole somewhere that wasn't there before?.

OK from what I know, and I am still in...Is that they leave you alone...Infact, there is a brother here that was a son on an Elder but he left the truth when he went away to college..He since has got married. I guess now he wants to come back. He has been out for about 10 years. So what our Elders have done is just study with him. Everything he did, and is still doing, doesnt matter I guess.. I find it strange but that is what they do here. Not that personally care what he has done, because I dont but i seems to me that everyone always wants everyone to be in trouble for something but our Elders seem to study with the ones that want to come back and they dont DF them..Hope this helps.

I have been wondering myself what to say...Im kinda in your shoes but I have an Elder that lives right next door...So i think its going to be hard. What I do now Is I just say I havent been feeling well or that my kids were sick..The same old story but I havent been going for about 2 months now. I think I have made one meeting. Im sure time will come when someone will ask me the real reason why they havent seen me in a while and I think i will simply just tell the truth, that I dont want too. I may not be as blunt but Honesty in the best policy, right?

Cyberjesus - I dont know what to believe anymore.... I want to belive that Jehovah is real and that our life has a meading and purpose and I do believe alot that witness teach....However I dont know if what the teach is used in the right way or that everything is true. I know that I believe is God....They always use the exapmle of how all we haev to do it look at creation to believe in a maker and for I do believe this.....but is Jehovah has placed these men in charge to help us lost sheep when why doesnt it seem to go worng so many times........I hate to have a harden heart but what could anyone have after being told lies that have ruined a persons life?
