  well my non attendeance from the meeting has not gone unnoticed especially by my family.

  i recieved a rather short email from my father regarding death and suffering in the bible and the labling of blame.. i replied with the below response.

  sorry if it ramling in places but it always takes longer to answer than to question.

  news from my wife from the recent meeting is that our congregation will be recieving 2 new magazine carts for market witnessing.

  we live in a small market town in north yorkshire and have regular street markets.. the congregation is small (75+ publishers, -1 now) so it seems that this is being rolled out pretty conprehensivly now to all congs.

  i still have no info as to whether each congregation has to purchase these from the hq or costings per unit..

  so i have another visit from the elder this week.

  this time they want to speak with my wife, still a believer and myself.

  i think they want to know my position about my children attending the meetings and some other things.. while preparing myself for it i though of a challenge for the elders and my wife.

  this is my first time posting on here.

  i've been inactive for 3 months now and my husband and i are going the fading way.

  i was born and raised in this religion and now after almost 30 years, they have taken most everything from me.

  morning all.

  if you have read my previous posts you will know of the final stage of my fade is complete, with no longer attending meetings anymore.

  with that in mind, do you have any suggestions to how to handle those conversations raised by familiy and friends about leaving?.
