I hate it that I have to lie so much to fade...

"how are you doing spiritually?
" i respond... yeah, you know, the usuals... service, meeting, etc.... she tells me that she's doing a lot of service with my dad... i say, "great!"...

Heard from a very reliable source today that the new Bible will indeed have "slightly updated" language.
Also from a less connected but not completely unreliable source, that there are widespread rumours in JW-Dom that there will be noo light on 1 Thess 5:3.

I got very nervous. Once I got down to it I used to love the preparation and "research" (I use that term loosely) because I would make it my personal challenge to make whatever material it was feel like a warm hug to the congregation. I would always get compliments on my items and that gave me a buzz if I'm honest.
What I absolutely hated was doing the announcements. I never understood how some brothers managed to string it out for 15 minutes or whatever. I would just say the announcements and get off the platform. One day the PO came up to me after the meeting and said to me that if there weren't enough announcements I should do the day's text with the congregation. Can you imagine?! I mentioned this to another elder and he said, "don't bother - no one's going to complain if the meeting finishes early for once". hehe. They don't have any announcements these days.

haha I'm going to check that out Konceptual! Thanks for the link.
With SS&SP I couldn't help wonder how the parents were going to get "counselled" for doing the show. They seemed quite sweet actually. They obviously can't be uber dubs.

Awful car crash TV. Teenagers on vacation getting drunk having sex etc. Parents secretly watch. Then confront them at the end of the show. It turns out the parents of one of the girls are JWs! And they're just finding out what their daughter's really like! too funny!

Faders shunned now?
by Sammy Jenkis inhi all so my family had their c.a.
last weekend and my mother dropped this one on me, she'll now be treating me as a df'd person per info she received from a talk at the assembly.
apparently a fader should be treated as "bad association" given the fact they up and left the holy "truth" to splash around in vomit.. .

Reminds me of how I used to be. I remember backing off my best friend because she stopped comnig to meetings and going on FS because she was "depressed". I thought she was just trying to find excuses so to my shame I backed off to try and guilt her into reactivating and the friendship faded temorarily. Thankfully it didn't last long because I kept in touch ironically when she moved away. But I remember the judgemental attitude of myself and others.
I also have family members who have sour grapes about people who "play the system" - i.e. fade without Da ing or DF ing - and will ignore them.
Finally a fairly recent CO talk (within last 3 years) directly said to have nothing to do with those who have "fallen away" without being D/Fd or D/A if they were leading an immoral life..heartwarming.

ha ha Gymbob, how evil and mentally diseased
(I simply can't chance going to the hall. I will be pounced on, as the elders have been trying to get hold of me on the phone for weeks, as well as the occasional house call, which I have ignored)
