    There is no way I would waste a $.37 postage stamp or printer ink on those pricks. I might tell them verbally "I quit" and then slam the door in their face.

    Did you write it yet? I'd love to read it.

    My parents wrote very short ones. They knew that all that mattered was getting out. The wording wasn't going to change a single thing in anyones mind. It will be read, discussed once and filed away forever and forgotten.

    I get the impression: yes.

    But I'm not entirely sure.

    Let us know when you get back here on-line.

    Thanks Shamus.

    I?ve always thought that the main difference is CHOICE!!!

    If you are DS?ed, you?ve gone against the orgs rules, been caught, or confessed and have been punished or ousted from the congregation.

    If 'YOU' DA 'YOURSELF', it?s your choice! I think it sends a clear message to remaining members that you?re dissatisfied with the org!!!

    I have heard the argument that Disassociation is unnecessary, and an XJW who bothers is still following the WT line. Disassociation means nothing biblically or legally. It might, however, take Brooklyn off the hook, in lawsuits, as they can show that members can indeed, leave voluntarily.

    On the other hand, I see that those who have a strong desire to give one last swift kick to the organization, and let them know EXACTLY why they are leaving. No more hiding or ducking.
