I was irriatated and disgusted when I stood up before about 40 witnesses and exclaimed,
"May I have your attention please! As of now I am no longer associated with the Columbia Heights Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, and you can take that to the bank!"
Actually I was excommunicating the whole congregation plus the WT per se. I was letting them know I thought they all sucked, pardon the expression.
I was in control, not them. The invasion of privacy was upon them, when I interrupted their meeting with a loud cry of indignation.
I guess when you quit, it's just good to let them know. No messin' 'round 'bout it. I had 40 witnesses, so the elders could not make up a lie as to how it happened, like insinuating some sin I had done by keeping the congregation igornant in how I was no longer a witnesses. Hey, I just quit!!
