I always love reading the stories of the fine people on this forum.
I have a slightly different personality.....I'm an all in or all out guy.....and I didn't care what anyone thought. After serving for an elder for well over a decade, people are still shocked to learn I walked away. They have left me alone. I didn't purposefully fade, but I dared them to follow me.
Nothing.
I was never officially announce anywhere but I'm more than open to those I run into years later that they are in a man made cult. I could care less.
It's funny that I still get requests to connect on LinkedIn or Facebook (when I had one).......it doesn't seem to stop JW's......they still see me as that popular elder guy.......but alas, I'm definitely not.
