I noticed that we have a lot of new lurkers here - and, in particular, some elders who are agonizing over how to get free
from the Watchtower without causing too much damage to themselves. Here are some suggestions that have worked
well for me and others:
1) claim to have a chronic illness, particularily depression - it helps to establish your "legend" ( spy terminology)
if you go to a doctor and claim depression so that you can say you are receiving treatment for it.
Other chronic conditions are helpful such as migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and others.
2) Don't discuss doctrine or complaints about the organization with anyone - keep your own counsel
and don't trust anyone. You are sick or depressed, that's enough. If you want to complain, do it anonymously
on internet sites like this one. Be discreet in your computer use.
3) Expect some examination -especially if you're an elder. The C.O. may ask you why want to resign. Offer
nothing more than illness/ depression.
4) think about changing congregations and getting lost - turn in some time long enough to get your publisher
cards transferred to the congregation Secretary - and then vanish. Works well in congregations with burned out/
old/sick/lazy elders.
It can be done! You can get free and stop wasting your life enslaved to this organization and its dead end
requirements. It worked for me!
