These WT representatives remind me of a crazy person wearing a tin foil hat and shooting imaginary lazer beams out of their eyes, and wondering why no one has burst into flames.
Newsflash to the Elder's: Your superpowers are imaginary.

Just wrote my DA letter....
by dubstepped inmy wife and i planned on fading but the elders now want a shepherding call and we are just done.
i know that many play the game to try to stay in, but i'm not a game player and neither is my wife.
our families already shun us because we reached out to a disfellowshipped family member.

Sounds like you know what you need to do. So all the best with it.
I would like to DA for the reasons you have mentioned, but have held off as I feel I don't acknowledge their authority therefore do not need to resign. I may feel differently one day in which case I would inform them that I 'm withdrawing my membership based on my conscience as I do not want to be associated with an organization that does not report abuse.

Start saying you no longer "feel" it's a cult and you now know it's a cult and see if the invites continue.

You could request in the letter that they inform you in writing before any announcement is made.
True closure is something this damned religion denies it's people. It's all part of their sick and twisted little agenda to have people mentally enslaved for life.
True closure is something you give yourself permission to do.

I'd say, in true JW fashion, they are being instructed not to discuss it. -

Another thing, what individual JWs think or notice regarding this current RC is completely irrelevant.
They are kept in the dark and fed on bullshit, so I wouldn't expect bro/sis average to have a clue what's going on behind the closed doors of it's own religion, nor care.
If the driver of the celestial chariot decides to change direction it won't be something the R&F know about until it's announced.

Personally I believe the WT will eventually take notes out of the Catholic Church's playbook on this one.
The Catholic Church once had far greater influence over the personal lives of it's flock, now not at all. You can identify as Catholic and yet live a lifestyle or make decisions which would be considered uncatholic and there are no church restrictions placed on you, no church inquisition on your behavior. You can still attend mass as you please.
Under the weight of bad press, public shaming and shrinking attendance/donations the Catholic Church has had to soften it's message and loosen it's grip.
The Catholic rulebook has become a suggestion book, I think the WT rulebook will eventually become the same.
Of course the WT will dress it up as loving nu-lite.
