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.
it's with regards to disfellowshipping.. is disfellowshipping a legal procedure?
like is there something i can use to prevent this from happening to me if it does happen.. no jokes about me being a bad little boy.
i need honest answers to this.

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
weve 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.
being a jw is amazing!
who agrees with me??.
the jw is a protection from the world.
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`?
this watchtower study article yesterday was so encouraging.
youths should use their energy to serve jehovah.. so encouraging.. :-).
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...

Sooo, you need to be protected from the world? Well well, that can be done in a lot of ways , in an asylum or in any other kind of cult! You can live in a tent in a forest.
I might be naive, but I don't think you are pranking us. I think you got terrible cold feet.
How's the ice-hockey thing going? Have you been protected from that ice-hockey yet?
hello everyone just wanted to relate a situation that occurred a few days ago.
so i have quit going to meetings for a few months now based on some issues i have with the explanations of current doctrines.
my wife is none too happy with this but over the last few months we have had some date nights and have tentitively agreed to disagree.
GoUnion, don't be that naive. The reason that they are listening to you is to get you into a JC. It's just a matterof time before you will be DF'ed. Try just to keep your mouth shut when socializing with elders.
