I would say that I have only a couple of really true friends. The rest are all acquaintances.

Is there a 'third' way to leave?
by Splash inonce baptised, apart from death there are really just two ways to leave the congregation: df or da.. but notice this quote:.
"does he really desire to disassociate himself, or does he simply no longer want to associate actively with the congregation?".
- shepherd the flock of god (2010) p. 111. .

I would agree that "fading" or becoming "inactive" is the third way to leave. IMO i believe this to be the best option for ones that one to keep a cordial relationship with family and friends.

Short Introduction and Reply to Lazarus
by Fading Begins inhi lazarus - i'm new here, and i'm a little disturbed by some of the judgmental comments i have read here concerning your situataion.
isn't that what the borg has done to all of us?
each individuals situation can only be judged if that person walks in your shoes.

Questions by JWs in 1976
by Doug Mason inin 1976, my friend bruce price was in contact with jehovahs witnesses who had become disillusioned through the debacle with 1975. bruce was the leading voice among the sda ministry in working for jws.
at the time, i was a member of the sda church.
although i left them about 25 years ago, to this day bruce and i enjoy a strong and genuinely warm friendship.. so, in 1976 bruce invited me to a meeting with one of the jws who was leading the disquiet in his congregation in dandenong (victoria, australia).

Another rumor about changes in Watchtower and Awake
by wannaexit init's only a rumor.
but we all know that sometimes rumors become a reality.. supposedly the public watchtower and awake magazines will be combined together and the two shall become one.. i wonder if the present 16 page "rags" are becoming an embarrassment.
they truly are rags of the lowest quality..

@Eustace- I believe the rumor is that it will be a 32 page magazine.
@Smiddy and Erbie- LOL ---there was actually a time when I was such a good little girl-and never never said anything that would indicate I was running ahead of "mother". Those days are long gone.
