Paris: Do not communicate with the Cult. Change your phone number and if possible your name and locate to a different State, or country if possible. Just pack up your car with essential belongings and get out of town and keep driving. Do not look back.
Essentially, doesn't this mean that the cult is still controlling his life? Why advise M-Joe to relocate, change his name, etc? It's absurdly extreme and completely unnecessary. Following this advice, despite having made an exit, the WT is still the Master.
Fading from WT is so incredibly easy. Do what I did: simply stop going to meetings and stop communicating with JWs. They'll quickly lose interest in you and before long you won't even be a distant memory.
There's one thing that is assured with JWs: their "love" is conditional, their interest in you as a person is superficial. A JWs only value is being a dutiful slave to WT's interests. Stop being a slave and your worth to your "brothers" will evaporate in a nanosecond.
Quit worshipping the GB or supporting the group and you'll quickly be relegated to the "he's not one of us anymore" category.
M-Joe: live your life. do what you want to do, don't let this ridiculous pseudo-religion and its retarded minions determine any longer the choices you make.
