    Do you HAVE to use a return address? I believe USPS will still deliver without one. The local postmark should be enough to prove it was sent locally.

    For those that are simply "awake", but still in (so need to do this anonymously) I get that it will help prove it is in fact someone local, and not some "apostate letter writing party" from "Anywhere, USA". This type of letter would make a much bigger impact if the recipient was left with no doubt that it was written by someone who attends that congregation.

    Perhaps referencing something in the letter (certain congregation members by name, perhaps cite who conducted the Congregation Bible Study last week, etc.) would prove to the reader that the writer is, in fact, "in their midst." That would probably freak out the body of elders...and the CO if several congregations in his circuit all got similar letters.

    I'm glad you changed the date, since the 8/8/16 one was in a public thread. There will now be a greater element of surprise.

    Oh, shoot. The date isn't any longer 8/8????
    Im nervous to send in my DA letter so soon.... Thinking about it cause I really don't want to do it anonymously....

    I personally think that 8/8 is still a great date to disassociate. I don't see why we can't have more than one day available to resign, especially if someone wants to do so in the company of others. I would hate to see people pressured to disassociate prematurely, but these dates can still useful for those that were going to do so anyway or are willing to postpone their disassociation in order to make a bigger statement.

    I was thinking about doing something special on 8/8 that won't be ready by December. I'll keep quiet about it for now because I don't want to detract from that event. I hope that the first mass disassociation will be successful to enough to encourage similar plans for future dates.

    Excellent! I'm looking forward to participating, even if anonymously. It will provide me with some measure of stress relief to get stuff off my chest. Will there be templates available? I'm not very good at formulating my thoughts into a cohesive message.

    @- Freemindfade - I am sure i dont have to tell you this, but i will anyway, for the sake of this NECCESSARY campaign. Please, keep this, and any other threads that may be pertinent to this, alive by DAILY/CONSTANTLY updating and keeping this in the forefront.

    This is probably the MOST important mission for us, right now. Threads can tend to sometimes get lost within a large forum, like this one. However, if you, us, we, all of us, keep this info going and make a concerted effort to make sure this thread is seen by everyone, when they first get on this website. It should be on the first page, at the top, of everydays , latest thread, so everyone can find it and see it.

    Updates should be fully put out there, so it keeps the buzz going. All forms of media, need to be utilised, and we all need to think outside of the box and share ideas.

    Also, there are many here, who may need "help" to articulate the letter, or really need to be "baby stepped" thru this process. Please, give "sample" letters, please provide formats, please help to make this easy for EVERYONE, and even others from other countries. This will help for maximum value, and give the biggest punch.

    There is strength in numbers, and EVERY person counts. Lets do this!!!!!!! Thanks for this, IT IS NEEDED, to wake up these unloving, false prophets.

    Freemind - is there other avenues - other websites that you are using to get the word out about this?

    Thank you, I am doing my best to say something about it each day to keep it moving if only in small small ways, the worst thing would be to let it fall off at this point.

    I haven't promoted this out to any others, but I think we can come up with a list, and a date to disseminate it to others in the exjw world.

    Also, what if everyone who is participating in this, send letters, not only to their respective branches, but also to their local congregations Elders that they personally had dealings with. Everone can send their letters to the branches, whatever category from 1 to 4 that they fall into. However, most here have had, or are having, dealings with the power tripping, judgemental Elders, too. Why not send those Elders, anonymously, a letter telling them how you feel. This can be as simple as a sentence, or two, that would not give them any indication as to who personally sent it. Or, you can unload both barrels, and let them have it.

    Many of us here, probably have an Elder or 2, who treated us horribly. Well, lets let em have it. This is OUR time now. Let them know how unloving they are. Let them know, that a congregation fails from the TOP down, and they are responsible for the problems by their unloving actions. If we have "dirt" on them, then put it in the letter. Let them know, "that you know". Let them know, that they have NO power over you and others, and they will be judged, as they have judged, and to mor that is given, more is expected, applies to THEM. Use your imagination, say what maybe you couldnt have said back in your BS judicial commitee, but can say NOW.

    If we ALL do this, by sending letters to the branches, and the specific Elders WE KNOW deserve this, then we can make a statement both worldwide, AND locally. It will let them know that this is BIG. They will talk. They will compare notes. They will get nervous. They will wonder, who. They will compare notes. They will become suspicious. They will turn on each other. They will watch their step. They will keep quiet, nervously. They will shout, dogmatically. They will crumble, wither, and be held accountable for their actions.

    I think we should wait to disseminate the information until the website is up and running.
