    HI PEOLPE,

    MY NAME IS YOHANN STROMBOLI AND I AM LEAVING THE JW ORGONIZATOIN TODAY. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THEIR LIES. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THE STEPS TO LEAVING WITHOUT A LOT OF PROBLEMS?

    Hi. For lots of info, you might check the "best of" folder on this forum.

    Are you planning to formally disassociate yourself or just leave? What types of problems are you trying to avoid?

    Welcome to JWD!

    Leaving without problems is a subtle process that takes a lot of time. But your mind is free today. If you fade and want to avoid being disfellowshipped, you will never really be totally free. If your JW acquaintances still talk to you (which they many not) you will be viewed as "weak". You'll always be looking over your shoulder.

    What are you trying to avoid? Do you have JW family? Depending on the family, they may shun you even though you aren't DFd if you aren't an active JW, or they may not shun you even if you are DFd.

    If you want a clean break from the WT, disassociate yourself. The announcement in the congregation is the same now whether you DA or DF, so your "brothers and sisters" will suspect that Brother Lampshade has been caught doing something naughty.

    All the best!

    Hi Johan.

    Just be true to yourself. Take one step at a time and keep a clear head. Think of it as leaving a really crap relationship. What is in your heart is not want those around are going to wnat to hear. Get to place where you can here yourself and you'll be fine promise!

    Take care

    I will be here to support you when it gets tough and you feel alone. The best advice I can give is what worked for me. Pray and don't stop. Beg God to show you who He really is and help you to deprogram from the cult. Ask Him to live in you like never before and then trust. He will inhabit you and you will be happier and freer than your wildest dreams.

    You have a family in Christ and I am one of them. I will pray for you right now.

    I did think it was probably a troll. That's why I asked questions.
