an 'apostate' inactive jw in america i know on facebook went to the dc and said fully 600 people left between the end of the apostate talk and the lunch break.

have any of you who also went to the dc seen something like this happen?

I wish I'd been 'smart' enough to leave in the afternoons.

I was too sincere. Should have made an appearence in the mornings... said my 'Hellos' at lunchtime (the only part worth anything), and got the hell out of dodge.

I'm sure this is a strategy for many regardless of the program.

Apostate?

by EmptyInside in

jw
friends

i was wondering if i would be considered an apostate for posting on this board.

i don't speak against the organization to any witnesses.

i do talk candidly to other inactive ones who feel the same way.

With as many posts as you have... you qualify.

Any other names you want me to call you?

I remember being really worried about what could happen to me early in my fade. Were the elders going to stalk me until I was df'd? How many times would they come to my door? What would I say?

Then I realized that if they do come to my door I can tell them to piss off. I can yell 'Get off of my property or I'm calling the cops!'... and you know what? All of a sudden I was extremely grateful for my rights and freedoms as a Canadian. People died for it... and I was filled with gratitude, like I just discovered it... it wasn't a vague concept now! JW's taught us for years that this is nationalistic and now after minimizing it for years I was so glad I had their protection. There aren't Elders and MS's in the RCMP! The law's on my side... I don't have to believe in bullshit! Awesome! I'm quite a bit happier to pay my taxes now... money well spent.

My point is this.. if this changes in the future... for any reason - including excuses of what people did when we thought the Earth was flat - any reason... that's upsetting to me... and I'm not going to like it.

Lurkers - Not even a 5 min visit from Elder or Sister

been oooh, 4 months now, nothing, nada, zip, like i never even existed.. no one knows i am awakened, etc... so as far as they concerned i'm still in wt land.. starting missing meetings as i was ill with a virus, knocked me out physically.

the rest is history, as they say.. .

so much for the love that is preached.

So, yeah... good news! Fading... it's easier than you might think!

Thanks for the info.... cool video, I like that kind of atmospheric stuff.

The young man at the end of the original video mocked non-believers that even if they started having four wives... well it's still simply going to be a numbers game. Much more of a challenge in China (as you alluded to in your post as well).

I'll end with "I like Chinese... I like Chinese... they're cute and their cuddly and they're eager to please". - Monty Python.

I remember feeling this way a few months in and talking to my wife about it. ie: 'It's like they're acting like I never went to a meeting'. She smiled and said 'It's everybody's complaint'.

Do you really think that they have a significant percentage of zealots that would resort to this?

What percentage of a population are the politicians that make something law? It's much more believable than 8-12 men telling 6 million to not take blood or ignore their families.
