    and I feel good! It was a long time coming. I stopped going to meetings June 09. The reason I left it so long is because my husband is still in and for this reason I see witnesses from time to time. I couldn't face the humiliation of the shunning. But I got to a stage of needing closure, and closure I have. The door is shut and I am glad.

    They might not let you off that easy. They might try to meet with you, the elders and the friends you text'ed.

    Sabastious I know what you mean, but I am not going back or being persuaded. They have a formal letter, I have told everyone I am not a witness anymore and for me that means the end. Let your yes mean yes and all that!!

    Yes. Once YOU decide that it's over, then it's OVER. Just call the cops if they ever show up on your private property.
