i've been reading various posts and i notice that fading is often advised by others who have done so or wish they had done so.
why is this better than being df'd?
i'm assuming it's because your family will not shun you if you are merely da'd ?
I didn't fade, we just quit like Jayhawk said. But we didn't DA or DF or anything.
I think that that is the real reason why a fade can be better - WE remained in control.
They controlled everything all the time we were there whether we realised it or not.
But at the end WE were the one's in control.
It is the ONE thing that really bugs them - us refusing to empower them or acknowledge their authority.
i, like many others perhaps, feel very very strongly against people stealing personal possessions.
there is a very clear law against it for starters but even without the written law it's still a no no in most eyes.
they belong to me so don't abuse and take them.. so anyways last month my car got stolen whilst i was visiting a friend at the local hospital.
Sorry about that mate.
This is my classic illustration in the flesh!!
He's obviously a JW who reasons that stealing a car is against God's law but that accepting "Car Fractions" is a matter of conscience . . .
my partner introduced me to a new man and since i met him i have slept with him every night.
hes very jealous and posessive and doesnt really like me to be out of his sight.
he has had me hard at it all night long and hes definately a boob man.. my partner has been relegated to changing his nappy and the odd cuddle when hes asleep.. here are some photos:.
Great pics
Hope you're all ok

PACK IT IN!
I didn't have lunch and I'm starving . . .
having believed the whole bible, hook, line and sinker all these years i get the impression many of you have come to the conclusion that we should take it with a pinch of salt and not hold to it so dogmatically.
and some possibly believe in it just as much as you did when you were a witness.
to save me some time please, lovely people, as i am very lazy - could you share with me why you do or don't believe in it - what evidence there is either way and if there are any particular books that you found helpful in coming to your conclusions?
Classic "answer a different question" coming up LOL
I believe God speaks in different ways at different times.
I believe that there can be some benefit in a "word for a different time"
I believe that when Jesus instigated the "New Covenant" lots of things changed - including God's principle means of communication.
I believe that it is possible to "connect" with God
I don't rule out God "connecting" with/through other faiths.
I believe that it would be possible to connect with God and never come across a Bible.
Therefore I don't base my faith on scripture alone/totally.
My experience of connection definitely weights my views.
My relationships are no longer dependant on shared belief.
