misanthropic,
Yes - it really feels great where I am now. BTW, are you fond of barbarians? ;-) (my new avatar :-)
sassy,
Yes I have just thought of the "closure thing". It's wonderful to imagine that from now on when I meet a camera man in the street I can give a short interview voicing my political views. LOL. But I understand your situation, and I did consider a similar option (fading + moving away) at a time.
DY, and GGG
At some point I felt so deeply trapped in the WTS that I wished I had been born into another family and that my mother would never have learnt "the TROOF". I have made huge progress from that point. Today I was able to talk peacefully with a WTS policeman about no longer wanting to be a witness. You can go that way too. I wouldn't worry about "friends". Their friendship is usually totally conditional. And you can always make better "worldly" friends. Family is a more tricky issue, but my plan B was if my wife, mother, and step-mother shun me, it won't change my mind about leaving anyway. Luckily plan A worked almost perfectly. Everybody can go ahead with Plan B if Plan A fails. I wholeheartedly recommend that. It's just better for your mental health in the long run. Till then, don't give up.

Thanks xjwms and IP_SEC.
Matt,
I remember when you PM'd me to send the ISO file. I was afraid to give you the server address for fear of being identified by some undercover WTS agent. Happily you've turned out to be a good-hearted apostate ;-)
BTW, my real first name is Piotr -

No problem, kls. Piotr stands for Peter. I'm fine with my screen name too. It usually provokes people to make dirty jokes.

The name that really gets me is the race car driver Dick Trickle. Now that first name i would leave Richard.
