I think that leaving in states that are more critical of JWs might be easier. Here in Jersey, you're allowed to be as hypocritical as you want, as long as you pretend well.
In those cases, the general response when you want to leave the hall is, "Why not just come to meetings, and keep the peace?"
They just don't get it.
Still, the support and knowledge base is much better than a few years ago, even when I first started to leave the JWs. Imagine what it'll be like in the next ten years.
