You're really an inspiration to me! It's hard for me to put into words!
Please keep us updated (I will look now to see if you have somewhere else!)

You, among the many others here, sure have expressed the kindest words about my DA letter; I am really blown away by the response. I cannot fully express how happy I am that others have found the letter so touching and useful.
Here is an update:

Your well-thought out letter put tears on my face.
It expresses the sentiments of so many of us.

Again, I really don?t know what to say except thank you and I am glad that you were touched.
After all the letter writing, I finally got back a letter with four sentences!

And what can they say when confronted with the truth by someone who is no longer scared of their fear mongering, mind-control tactics? I think that writing these letters that no one else will read in the WTS at least gives us a chance to put our thoughts and feeling on paper. IMHO it has to serve some therapeutic benefit and can serve as reference material in the future.
It is such a shame that such a letter will be taken in a negative light by the elders. You did the right thing in writing such an informative thought provoking letter. Really, they have no defense. I would be really surprise if they rebut your letter. As a former elder, I couldn't and wouldn't answer your letter. I would visit you, listen to you and then wish you the best in your life. I never expelled anyone when I was an elder.

That is an interesting observation from elder perspective. Thx for sharing that.
winston; great job . i read it twice!!!!!!!! if these elders are honest at all they will come to you with thier heads down . and say that you are right , but i guess you can't expect that from men that don't have jesus in them. a true work of art..... freedom in christ john
Thx John.
And yes, it is a marvelous freedom. I keep referencing the words, ?My yoke is kindly and my load is light.? And ?The truth will set you free!?
I had a hard time rationalizing these words to the JW life when I was a JW. But they ring true now.
Umm, sure. Whatever floats your boat, Toby
