DOC said it better than I ever could. Welcome pale.emperor. Phew, what a journey. You seem a kind man. I had a lump in my throat when you told us about the night it was anounced your father was stepping down as a min. servant. Awful awful stupid ass judgemental erroneous attitude from vile congn members. Shame on them.

There is No Reason to be Afraid!! ( of Freedom )
by kairos inthinking of leaving the jws for good is frightening.engaging a quality fade is nerve racking!there can be horrible consequences that can leave one shunned.even the most careful fade can be undone by many means and loved ones.. one must weigh the consequences of leaving with true freedom.yes, that kind.
where you always make the decisions in your own life.. no need to be reckless and wild to destruction.
be like almost everyone else in society that enjoys life to the full and looks out for their fellow.look around you at happy, friendly people in your community.

kairos, thanks for bumping this thread. I'm in the 10th month of my fade. I'm growing as a person in my freedom. I no longer go out in fear of meeting up with those in my congn. I have a more enlightened, less judgemental relationship with my family. I don't live in fear of Armageddon, or going to prison/being tortured for the "sake of the good news". Last week I proved to myself I can converse well with strangers without having to discuss "the good news of the kingdom".
LisaRose, I agree that it's good to be in a healthier marraige/relationship without the bad advice from the org. In fact, after 32yrs of being a JW, my brother on hearing I'd walked said to me " I hope XXX doesn't put up with the emotional crap now that you've left, to the same extent he endured when you were in".

Your feelings for the former travelling overseers
by Hecce induring our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.
i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.
at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

Hi there The Rebel,
I fully concur with your emerging from your spiritual malaise. I was in a perpetual fog for nigh on 32yrs. I'm having subjective dreams these last few night. You don't need to be Freud or Jung to understand why.
My daughter has wakened up and disassociated herself last week. It's been a fraught time lately. Both our non-believing partners are bemused atthe "goings on"
Power to the people.
