Sophie,
jwfacts has a great point, when I initiated my fade, I tempered it with I Still believe in God, and Jesus is his son and my allegiance is to them. NOT the org (Borg) When the GB posted that WT article that "our salvation depends on how we treat the GB on earth today" I took exception and asked to show me in the bible where we are to follow a man on earth or group of men. No one in my family could show me that so they said " ok we understand"
It is a bridge, but alas a small token/gesture on how to keep the family, but not go to meetings.
Hope all goes well for you in the coming days/weeks/months. As long as you stay calm and cool, you will be fine

and remember always play golf on SAt and Sundays helps
