My first cigar

by LivingTheDream in

my first cigar.

not soon after i faded, i was on a company shindig and they were providing hand rolled cigars to everybody there.

i watched in amazement as this dominican guy rolled them in front of my eyes with great care and skill.

Can't wait to hear the spin on this! Anxious to see how they clean up John 1:1

Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

by dissonance_resolved in

so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

Sounds like you are doing this really smart! Good job! Happy for you.

there's a lot of rumble in the grapevine of jws that there difinitely is a new bible that 'mother' is releasing at the upcoming agm.. it would be awesome if we could get a sneak peek at some of the changes.

sure would be nice if some of the lurkers on this forum who work at bethel in the writing, shipping or printing department could help us out.

this would really irritate 'mom'!.

Was Your Leaving The Witnesses A Very Gradual Process Or A Quick One?

by minimus in

for me, it took many years.. even when i would read all the changes over the years from the "truth", i still would ignore it and "wait on jehovah" and try to be a positive force in the congregation.. eventually, i just couldn't take it anymore and resigned as an elder, and slowly but surely made my fade.. what about you?

were you out, in a short or longer time?

?.

Started out supposed to be slow. But, I couldn't do the meetings... I found myself snorting or huffing. Then we got pummeled with calls and shepherding requests and pop ins for weeks during the initial fade. (I see now we started too quick missing a meeting a week or sometimes both) we weathered the storm of the constant texts and calls and visits, then my wife said, if we go back now it will all start over. Maybe we should just make this our end. It was an easy choice. It was harder on family and friends but better for us.

Sir82 you are exactly right. My thoughts as well. It is a guaranteed sale. No respectable JW would want the old bible. And they have apparently worked through the stock of old a few months back. This creates a demand as well.
