"Why Nobody Ever Came Looking For You when you faded!"

by RottenRiley in

they are afraid you are going to infect the good works done by the active jws.

are you aware that "one weak jw who is fading can take out five strong jws, so it's best to avoid or greatly limit your contact with weak jws?

" circuit overseer (past) words.. .

LostGeneration - a financially stable, emotionally secure, happy single mother who activley volunteers in the community, travels often and has an intelligent teen in private high school with college plans is not considered too desirable in the org.

Someday I'll post the ignorant text I received from one elder - gave him some sass back and that was the end of it. Basically he directed me to the page In the organization book referencing who precisely to text my time to. Meanwhile, the C.O. Was scheduled for the following week so I used LOGIC and sent this COBE my time directly so he'd have it in time for the visit.

The other elder texted he was "assigned oversight of my family". He shuns his daughter so I guess he couldn't comprehend that his wording was ridiculous.

It's rather hilarious what we've all put up with to gain our freedom.

I have marveled at how worried I was about being contacted ce I started fading. I received three texts only for my time. The last one was In August and I still am surprised we've been left alone.

must watch.

I watched the movie a couple weeks ago with my daughter and we were cracking up over the terminology, likening it to JW. Most amusing.

Reminder: Hate speech on this forum is NOT tolerated

by Simon in

some of the comments on the anthony morris topics have been despicable.. if someone is an idiot or a biggot then they are damaging themselves.. if 'we' start posting vile filth, insults and threats then it doesn't convince anyone other than we're probably as bad..

Rotary, Lions Club & Kiwanis, etc

by 4thgen in

jw
friends

like so many have said on this site, it is hard to begin again and make new friends.

this has been a real challenge for me.

i recently joined a local rotary club and have become acquainted with some very dedicated business people (some retired), wanting to be of service to others.

Gypsy Sam

Good for you! I volunteer with our local art centers and have met great people and attended some stellar events for free.

I also recently joined a book club which has been nice.

Isn't it funny how these groups you mentioned were vilified while we were growing up, yet they seem to accomplish more than JW's preaching over a billion hours per year. Imagine what those hours could accomplish if put to a useful purpose.

I still haven't convinced myself to join the YMCA as I work out outside right now, but my best friend joined (also faded jw) and when she accidnetally said something to her mom about, the mom (jw) freaked out. Lol

Enjoy your new relationships and the fact that you are helping people out!

Avoid or call them back?

by Angus Beef in

daughter missed a call from an elder tonight...we've missed meetings for about a month now.

she is dating a worldly guy and i'm sure someone has seen them together.

makes us nervous and with us being fairly new to the fading facet... should she call or avoid.

Gypsy Sam

Keep avoiding. I didn't answer two text requests for my time and here we are 7 months later with no one has bothering us.

Should I meet with the elders?

by winnie12 in

so i posted my story somewhere on this board but long story short i have been expressing my doubts to my mom who is a jw.

i have been fading since december 2013 and went to a sunday meeting for the first time maybe two weeks ago.

i went only because i wanted to use the library that my hall has which had books published by the society from the early 1900's.

Gypsy Sam

Yikes, I missed your intro post, but welcome! Tread lightly. You sound young...I researched countless hours on my own online before I made a decision to fade. I live far from family so that option worked for me. You'll get lots of good advice on here. Wish you the best. Respect your mom and try to refrain from telling, but instead utilize the questioning method.

Carpe diem!
