The circle doesn't encompass Malta or Crete or Italy...all places mentioned in the New Testament. Although as the god of the New Testament didn't really ever 'act' I suppose this is true to an extent.

@ bigmac - thank you. I'm not on Facebook unfortunately and it's now impossible to sign up without giving your mobile number so I won't be!
@onthewayout - thank you. I'm hoping it works!
@LisaRose - thank you...yes I have read it and found it very relatable.
@Phizzy - that's encouraging...cold turkey is my intention too
@ABibleStudent - yes I was born in. I have done some reading into the BITE model and wow was it eye opening. Haven't read his book though so maybe I should. Thank you.
Everyone else - Thanks for the warm welcome!

@Kate - I'm not especially close to my parents, awful as that sounds. I'm hoping that coming out to them as gay will have more of an impact on them than telling them the TTATT will. They're too blinded (and I've already tried). However they do have emotions so I think appealing to them on an emotional level is the only way they'll understand...

@quellycatface. Have already done that! My responsibilities have been removed but they're reluctant to take me off as an MS. But I think it may be better this way as announcement removing me as an MS would make me memorable again....

@DJS Thank you. Yes I know I need to be careful; I've already slipped up a few times.
And thanks for the warning re: the forum! As my eyes have been opened that the world is not the wicked place I've been taught, I'm becoming more aware that the actions and words of a minority can affect the stereotype of the majority. Don't worry, I know not all apostates are the same. ;)

@kneehighmiah I don't really have the patience or desire to fade. I intend on just stopping. I'm mentally prepared for the consequences.

@jgnt yes I have a hazy exit plan. I have already had my responsibilities removed at my request. My exit plan involves moving far away so I don't think an LGBT support group will be much help, yet.
