No trolling.
Sounds like you need a better corp.
Wardecs only serve any kind of purpose at all in high sec space, to be honest.
You don't need them for low, null or wormholes.
You are going to face risk of PvP in any sector of space.
High sec is 'safer space', not safe space.
NPC corps will shield you from the potential for war, but you lose other aspects.
Ultimately if you're wanting to be involved in a player corporation then you're going to want to associate with people who are willing to help teach their newer players how to survive and thrive even while under the specter of war.
It's not impossible, but it can seem daunting when you don't have much experience with the game. Find friendlies who're willing to take the time and effort to help you get situated.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

They're gonna happen either occasionally or seemingly constantly if you're in a corp of any real size.
Tiny corps get it less often, mostly due to the difficulty of catching targets online.
The best thing you can do is learn how to survive in that environment.
With the watchlists being a thing of the past it's considerably more difficult for warring corps to keep track of targets, particularly if their pool of potentials is several hundred or even a thousand and more.
Docking up and hiding for a week or two or a month isn't really the best approach to it to be honest.
Change up your area of activity for one thing.
Unf*cking your overview helps a great deal as well.
Keep your head on a swivel and your eye on local.
If you start getting the feeling you're being watched the odds are pretty good you are... so move.
The list goes on and on. Talk to some vets you know and see what they have to say on the matter.
I've been living in a state of near constant war for over two years now, and was thrust into that after being a super peaceful mission runner and miner for years and years.
It took some adjusting.
It was scary at first.
You do get used to it.
In the end, the 'duck and cover' approach really only ends up hurting yourself.
Don't let fear kill your fun.

Thanks for the candid replies. We finally started to fight back by forming 40 man fleets. Until it is safe to do missions I will try and learn exploration and embrace PVP. Seriously though this game is experience driven and the learning curve is huge. I might be looking for a mentor in the Corp to learn more of the basics on how not to get podded.
Being that you're in high sec I believe, I can get you that one right here for free.
When your ship starts hitting low structure align to any celestial other than the sun.
As soon as you pop hit warp. Pods warp pretty much instantly. Sticking around is what gets you killed.
Just don't linger in a spot for more then a few seconds, bounce around til your weapons timer drops... then dock up.
Free goodies for those who try to adapt.
+1 for you.
