Why is it important to some that God only have one visible organization to represent Him on earth? Why is it important to Jehovah's Witnesses that people recognize their organization as such? What makes a Witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is His one and only organization? Can't people love God and Christ and live holy lives without believing a particular organization is the only one having Jehovah's approval?

"But if you ever want to come back…"
Yes, you may want to come back so family members will talk to you again...but not necessarily because you believe in the religion.

Well, if you are ready to close this chapter of your life, I would talk to your mother first and let her know you feelings and plans. Then I would write a disassociation letter saying you choose not to be a Jehovah's Witness and you want nothing to do with the organization from this day forward including visits from elders.
If elders call, tell them to read and follow the directions in your disassociation letter. There is nothing to discuss.
Congratulations by the way!

Hello,
Got family members in?
If so, you must count the cost of submitting a letter of disassociation.

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are experts at judging people. They have determined that all of the churches of Christendom are filled with non Christians.
Of the millions of martyrs who were slaughtered before the 20th century, they have concluded that less than 145,000 were real Christians. The others were merely professed Christians.
The self-declared Faithful Slave has similarly judged that of those billions living when Armageddon strikes, 99.9% of them will be annihilatied.
How would they know any of this?

"Doesn't the Governing Body judge peoples destiny based on their relationship to them?"
Earnest: No.
Where does the GB stipulate that ex-Jehovah Witnesses who are honest-hearted apostates to Jehovah's organization may survive Armageddon?
Here to the contrary
The other sheep should never forget that their salvation depends on their active support of Christ's anointed "brothers" still on earth. WT March 15, 2003 p.25
"The Scriptures strongly support the conclusion that at Armageddon Jehovah will destroy the peoples of the earth, saving only those who obey his commandments to stand by his organization."
(Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimers of God's Kingdom, 1993, p. 170) -

@Earnest,
Doesn’t the Governing Body judge peoples destiny based on their relationship to them? Do they consider that apostates may have good hearts? Might they be saved and survive Armageddon and be honored by Christ?

I believe JWs have slways held out hope of a resurrection for just about everyone who died before the Great Tribulation....but only JWs after the GT commences...with few exceptions.

Just as Noah and his God-fearing family were preserved in the ark, survival of individuals today depends on their faith and their loyal association with the earthly part of Jehovah’s universal organization." Watchtower 2006 May 15 p.22 "Are You Prepared for Survival?"
"As for humans upon earth, on the side of Jehovah will be all those fully dedicated to him and who are faithfully following Jesus Christ; compared with earth's billions these are indeed few.... On Satan's side will be all the rest of mankind, more than 99.9 percent...That includes all the governments of the world together with their supporters, the commercial, religious and social institutions.... Armageddon will be the worst thing ever to hit this earth in the history of man." Watchtower 1958 Oct 15 pp.614-615Sadly only .01% of humanity will survive the alleged onslaught. So that leaves about 8 million Armageddon survivors out of 8 billion....just about the number of faithful Watchtower other sheep. I guess there won't be many if any honest hearted persons in Christendom who will make it through the GT and Armageddon after all.
I appreciate it when JWs tell it like it is.
