So, active JWs are discussing this...that's excellent. I would guess a lot of them will be apsotates in a little while.

I think there is a thread "The art of fading" at this site. TAke a look at it Panthers. It was written some years ago, but it's still actual and important.

If you can move away fading (without being DFed) your family still can talk to you.
When you have been inactive for some time you will be more free. I have been inactive for 25 years now. Nobody's bothering me.

Hmm, Sylvia..I,m white and scandinavian......but it's not because of my skin color I chose to give honest answers to the Panther.
It's all right if you consider me being naive.

I know some people thought that you were that person Miz.
Sometimes we are a bit eager to shout "troll" to certain posters here. It's fine that you still want to pose questions here.
Yes, fading is beeng less and less active in the congregation. During the time, try to get to learn to know some new people, get some new interst and someting to do at meeting evenings.

That sister in your hall is probably inactive. She's not DFed if the others see her and hang out with her.
If she is the daughter of an elder she probably has better protection from being DFed than any rank and file JW.

Panthers: Rule #1 Keep quiet in front of elders.
#2 Keep quiet in front of other JWs.
You can try to fade by becoming less active, skip meetings etc...you will be considered as spiriyually weak.
Take care

Newcomers to TTATT: Beware of "New Study Mode"!
by Londo111 inweve all heard it.
a person starts studying with jehovahs witnesses and love what they are learning so much that they cant stop talking about it.
bubbling with enthusiasm, they spill everything they are learning with their friends and family...or anybody who will listen.

This has to do with psychology more than facts. A cognitive dissonant person is not able to rational reasoning.
But, one thing that surprises me is that when a JW apologist writes something on this board, he/she gets bombarded with facts about the UN scandal, false prophecies etc........and he'll get scared back to the borg.

Who knows? It could be so, but I'm not sure.
I don't like calling people "troll" before we are absolutley sure.
Some weeks ago we had a chat with Panthers "real self". Since then we've mostley observed his "cult self"/JW-personality. But the fact that hecomes back here is interesting. It could be that he doesn't dare being honest......., but just repeating cult mantra.
Go for it Panthers, you dared to talk to me and to putlaw some weeks ago. Did we scare you that much`?

That's fine Panther..you cannot stay away from this board......it's understandable.
But, most of us has experienced a lot.....you don't have to use those mantras here. Almost everyone will look through you if you do. I hope you know that you can post your real thoughts and questions here. And I know that you'll get honest replies.
But, I understand...cognitive dissonance can be hard...
