  Howdy From Texas

  my name may be a bit premature...because i'm actually still active within the org, but i guess you could say i've already "left" in my heart.

  i'm just scared to take the first steps, because i don't know any "ex's" in my neck of the woods, and i'm very scared of loosing my family.

  i just need someone to talk to.. .

  Welcome,

  It sounds like the best thing you can do is take it slow and start a gradual fade. Depending on your circumstance, you could fiegn some sort of malady like depression or anxiety. These work well because so many of the rank and file witnesses have either or both of these.

  My fade was based on my high blood pressure which I did have while on the watchtower wheel (two BP medications per day) down to one small med now and now BP problems.

  Depending on how close you are to your family this tactic may very. Use your imagination on what excuses you start to use for missing meetings.

  Welcome James,

  I too was an elder for more then twenty years when in 2006 I raised some questions about the no blood/fractions OK policy I was quickly removed as PO then after a visit from a CO was removed as an elder. We're glad to have you here stay strong and be patient, the truth about the truth will be revealed to you and you will be free.

  Chance doesn't create things and I don't know how things are as they are but I'm sure you must know how it all happened.

  It sounds like it might be too good to be true and we all know what happens when something is too good to be true.

  Just be careful
