	Blondie,In short I don't have the articles anymore, however they say that those who choose to walk away quietly are to be left alone.Also, those who are inactive are still considered to belong to the congregation under the care of the Elders and are still part of God's flock,sheep in his fold.And are in this context STILL one of JW'S. So, the question could be answered with either article cited to the Elders, as they will have to see it in print for themselves from the Society and therefore could not take any action against you.But rather it would place a responsibility to nurture and care for you,something they are not willing to do,ie.time effort work for you etc.So they will just leave you alone.
