Yes, there are vows prior to babtism into the Jehovah's Witness church.

Why not make up your own ceremony?

Why would you need it? If you're renouncing your vows or baptism to a certain church, then you don't need a ceremony to do it. I was baptized, and later left the church. I didn't need anything to formalize it. I just walked away.

If you were baptised as a child only those who made vows on your behalf can renounce them. If they were Christians they are unlikely to do so. If they were not Christians then their vows were meaningless but they will still have to answer for them.

If God is all-forgiving and all-compassionate, renouncing your vows shouldn't incur some sort of earth shattering wrath like striking you down with chain lightning....
...unless of course that particular God whom you have sword your life to is petty, angersome and hateful... Would you kill your own child if he renoucned you? Of course not, you will continue to love the child unconditionally.... And God is supposed to be WAYYYY above us in the spiritual evolutionary ladder... shouldn't he be above such minor offences?

For which religion? The Roman Catholic Church requires an annulment before you can re-marry. I think the Anglican church does, too, but I am not certain.

For a 'nun' or a 'priest'?
They just walk away from their 'provider' -
get a job -
reenter society as an individual;
no longer a leech on the members of their particular parish!

Don't know, but there ought to be. I would have a Christianity-renouncing ceremony in a heartbeat. Hey....maybe I'll invent one!

Yes, you just make arrangements to be baptised again. Any time you come back to Christ, you can be baptised to signify the washing away of your sins. It's not necessary but you can if you want to. Speak to a deacon at the church you want to attend and they can probably give you more information.

you walk into the chapel or whatever, raise both your middle finger and shout "F---- You, [applicable deity(ies)] !!!!!"
then you turn around and walk out of that shack, liberated and free to be alive.
oops, i thought you said DEnounce....
then don't do that.
