It's going to be difficult. Know that.
Don't think, which option is easier. Think, which one will hurt less.
Have no regrets.

Disfellowshipping/dissassociating vs. fading?
by lostinthought inok, advise needed my friends!
the idea of fading sounds really nice to me and i would love to do it, but i'm just a big "chicken" and can't bring myself to stop all the jw nonsense.
i continue going to meetings and service out of some sort of fear, i know if i start missing too many people will be bothering me with phone calls and visits and such and they will sucker me into toing back.

I challenge all of you!
by Mr. Falcon ini've compiled my list of the 10 worst comedians ever.
jay leno - just a massively tired and unfunny tool who should be burned for what he did to conan especially.. talented opposite: conan o'brien or jimmy kimmel.. carrot top - somehow figured out how to make a career out of prop comedy.
i'll give him that much.. talented opposite: this is tough because prop comedy is deader than ghenkis khan.

Interesting - do they have a school for carrying the microphone? or perhaps "how to highlight your Witchtower properly" ....
They will be starting those once they are done with elders, and all pioneers go to school that second time...

Simple, yet telling explanation of why the Governing Body view themselves as ultimate. (With their own words)
by MC RubberMallet inin 1 corinthians 7, paul continuously makes plain that he was speaking his own opinion:.
(1corinthians7:12-16)12 but to the others i say, yes, i, not the lord: if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her; 13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and yet he is agreeable to dwelling with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 for the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would really be unclean, but now they are holy.

It's true. But they will always fail to see the error or their ways, because they are "Jehovah's anointed".

Fading is a long and calculating process, and may still cause your family to cut ties with you.
I would say that would be your best chance, though. Strenghten your ties with them heavily before you start walking away.
Df'ing and da'ing is playing their game, turning you from a sister into a yb statistic overnight. It seems easier to just be done with the whole thing, tho.
Or, you could begin a fade, and if you don't like it for whatever reason, you can always da later....
Which way will leave you with no regrets?
