Dreary and Jeff-
WT policy is that they OWN YOU from the instant of your baptism until they record your death in their records.
Yes - these psychopaths record the deaths of those who were 'disassociated' or 'disfellowshipped' decades ago !
It's all in Shepard the Flock of God.
Leaving with a documented repudiation of their policy and authority leaves a paper trail of your freewill exercise of a constitutionally guaranteed right. (rather important in a liberal democracy don't you think?)
They will go on their way, ignoring your rights while demanding theirs to be expanded.
But one day when the time is right' someone will be pissed right off and fight them in courts. That will become the day we bring our dog to this fight.
Watchtower is losing court battles like never before.
These signed and retained documents of peaceful leavers will contribute to a Death by a Thousand Cuts for these religious, shithouse dictators.
