I just stopped going. But I'm anything but "faded".
How many of you were disfellowshipped?

Disfellowshipped. And I won't pretend what I did was not wrong even to most people in general normal society. But I never really had very strong social ties with anyone in the congregation, and I had come to the point that I didn't believe in JW anymore. So I used my indiscretion (adultery) to make a quick and clean break. I told the elders what I had done. I said I was not repentant and they had to DF fairly quickly with only one attempt to "readjust" me. Disassociation would have probably gotten more attempts at "readjustment" or attempts to find "dirt". If I had tried to fade, I'd still be doing it now. That would have been agonizing with my parents and other people trying to "help" me.
