I'm always a bit disappointed that another option is almost never mentioned in the discussion around fading vs DA, and that is "quit cold turkey" or ultra fast fading.
Just completely stop going to meeting and FS. If elders call, politely but firmly tell them to stop contacting you without giving them any reason or justification, and without saying "I'm not a JW anymore".
If 'friends' and family come up with the obligatory "we miss you", invite them over for coffee and chitchat. If they inquire into your meeting attendance, tell them you don't go anymore. Don't offer any further info. Change the subject.
This method can save a person from many, many wasted years of slow fading.
It also doesn't carry the downsides of DA, as family doesn't have to shun you (word of warning: most JW will shun everyone who stops going to meetings anyway).
The only prerequisite is that you need to be able to tell elders, friends and family a firm "no" when they start about JWism.
