    Well done.

    Speaking from the heart may not make as much of a defense as a lot of thought out information, however, it is far more power and depth in the long haul.

    You have shown courage and a caring attitude.

    Again, well done!

    Misanthropic,

    I hope that this letter gives you the closure you are seeking. It really doesn't matter if they read it or throw it in the bin, as long as you get what you need to close this chapter of your life.

    Very well done indeed!

    JK

    Very powerful, I've never seen you like this before and I can imagine chills going down their spine as they read this.

    You go girl!

    Good letter MisA,

    I never bothered to write such a letter, but I'm glad you had a chance to get this off your chest. They may not give your letter a second thought, but it's about you not them !!!!!

    Thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging words.

    I'm mailing it out today it out today. I think you're supposed to send one to your congregation and one to the headquarters if I'm not mistaken.

    I handed mine to the cong's three elders the last meeting I went to (just for that purpose) as well as sent it thru mail to the CO...

    Staying would / did please my parents. Right on schedule baptism would / did please my parents. Reciting back what was recited to me would / did please my parents. Continuing as a Witness would only serve to satisfy their learned and reinforced conditional love and acceptance – another historically and unfortunately fragile thing indeed. This is not reason enough to stay. It troubles me to think that it was this and only this that kept me there, physically and to a larger extent mentally, for so many wasted years – so many missed opportunities. Accepting and admitting this is all that separates me from undoubtedly countless others.

    WOW, couldn't have said it better myself. You just summed up my life in oh, 1 paragraph.
