  I think it took a lot of courage to write this and face how you feel. I've recently begun to feel a huge distance with my family as we have faded. There is that exact "don't ask, don't tell" edict hovering over any time I spend with them. It is just so awkward as they don't ask a single question anymore. My thoughts are with you. Hopefully, you have A circle of close and meaningful relationships.

  announced that two ohio circuits are to be dissolved including 5 congregations.

  congregations in the dissolved circuits will be assigned to two existing circuits.

  the excuse the letter offered is that people are moving, or that people are retiring and leaving the area.

  2. friends

  so while i was out hiking with the dogs today i got to thinking about this forum and was wondering how many of you still feel guilty from time to time for leaving?

  i do, i miss my family at times but then i think about the life that i have created and i have a good one, i have good friends and i am happy, happier then i ever was as a jw.

  i was just wondering if others feel the same way sometimes..

  I do not feel guilty at all!

  Phizzy, that would be intriguing. I personally know a dozen local acquaintances locally that stopped attending in the past year. I wonder how WT would go about it- what if someone had been sick? We haven't gone since the memorial and haven't received any contact since July.

  Bythe looks of things on Facebook, active JW's keep in touch with those clearly living a nonJW life. Sometimes, I'm amazed that they don't unfriend when it is clear these people are flying under the radar. I guess it does have a lot to do with the title of DA or d'fd In some jw minds.
