Nope. That's the point. I and many others are not 100% "out".

I hear you. Every saturday Im always looking out the front window to see if the witnesses are coming. When they do I am always unavailable. Im a oho "obviously hiding out" I'm hoping that my da letter will get them off my back.

And it's totally understandable. The repurcussions are far too serious, as I know having been shunned three times today. Once with someone actually moving three steps away from me sideways, as if I had something contagious.
I ask you! Dumbasses!
It's just sometimes it so tempting to get on the tallest building (not literally!) and shout 'Jehovah's Witnesses are Frauds!'. Well you know what I mean.
Gill..of the still flinching from having been shunned three times today, class!

I too don't understand the question. I am 100% out - I no longer go to any meetings, don't do field service, don't consider myself under the authority of the local congregation.
I am not out as an apostate though - if that is what you mean.

Do the Witnesses still think you're a "brother"? If so, you're not "out".

Min,
why bother telling them? why waste your time? telling them only validates their beliefs IN YOUR HEAD that you HAVE to tell them ANYTHING; or dissacociate yourself by writing a letter...blah blah blah. You do not have to tell them anything.
I say, just stop going; stop seeing them ; stop ACKNOWLEDGING their "sheparding" calls to you.
If someone really wants to be your friend ( we all know THAT tune); well thats great. But why bother playing by their rules AT ALL anymore.
Of course, if you just want to BLAST them verbally, that is something else. It might vent the frustration and anger against them; but will only give them more cause to distance themselves, by their choice, from you.
just my 2 cents; I know you have it under control,

Actually I would consider myself in a figurative crawl-space or attic instead of a closet. I hoping to move to a closet soon though....
