Thanks for the advice, I'll just wait and see if mum says owt to me, she still thinks I'm going to this other congregation. I agreed I'd "try it" for a period of time before I committed to leave. It's coming towards the end of this time, so when it's ended I'll have a word and see if anything has been said in my old cong

12Good strategy?
by Olig inso obviously the best way to leave properly is fading, that's a given i would have thought?.
however i'm in a situation where i'm not sure what to do... i've just left home, nobody bar my parents / gparents know my address.
at my parents request they asked if i would switch my cards over to the closer kingdom hall.

At my parents request they asked if I would switch my cards over to the closer kingdom hall. I text my 'favourite' elder and asked for this, however never received a reply in over 3 weeks. I've just changed my number.
I've not been to a single meeting in over 2 months now, not put any reports in, nothing. And have so far had no repercussions? My mum hasn't said anything that anyone's said to them. I said she could say I moved out to people, but not my address.
Would I be wise to go to a couple meetings now and then? Or just carry on cold turkey as nobody knows my address or new number. I'll be honest not sure if I'll fit in my suit...

Waking up can be a scary time
by Leopold theseconed inas a person that has recently come to terms with the reality that the truth is not really the truth .
does anyone else remember the feeling when they realized things were just not true.
it’s wierd all the years i spent preaching i never really considered what it must have felt like to have two people at your door trying to convince you that your religion of birth was a lie.

Good on you Leopold, you did well to make the jump. I myself was and still am terrified of the New world I've found myself in! I've found the experiences on this forum to be a massive help! Hope everything is okay if you need anything let me know!

Certain words set me off as well....

DA/DF Difference?
by Olig inevening again.... i know this is my second part today but i've just been thinking.... possibly a stupid question, so don't laugh haha!.
can someone explain the difference between disassociation and disfellowshipping?.
never really heard of disassociation before if i'm totally honest!.

Thanks everyone for your help with this! I had a rough idea that dissociation was a way of telling the Cong that you weren't going to socialize with JWs so you could avoid DFing! Thanks for the clarification!
I feel like I'm in need of a safe house lol!

Desirousofchange, I never thought of this, I'll look into it! I think the thing that will touch her heart the most would be the pause where she can think for herself!
To answer the question about whether I'm from the UK, while keeping anonymity..... Definitely north of Watford.... And not too keen on Lancashire folk ;)
Ps thank you all for your welcome it's been a real help!

I see, so from a personal viewpoint there's no real difference! Thanks for clearing this up for me sir82! As far as you know then is there no real way of leaving without them shunning you?
