  JWs left about 10 Minutes Ago

  i'm visiting my brother and his family in virginia for thanksgiving.

  as i was looking out the kitchen window today, saturday, waiting for my sister-in-law to finish talking with my niece on the phone, i noticed an older couple in thick coats going to different houses in the cul-de-sac.

  as i was watching the older couple and thinking about what i would do if they rang the door where i was and if they were jws, the door rang.. at the door were two older african-american women.

  ABS,

  You never know. One day something said from the platform might trigger doubt, and they may recall your bit of scribble on the tract ... Good on you.

  The elders came by and my DA letter

  by Crazyguy in

  the lead elder co of my hall said he was going to push for a jc meeting.

  i could tell all along all hes interested in is protecting his god the org.. so i'm 90% sure now of going on the offesive and first having a family meeting telling them i'm offically quitting and how its going to play out and how i'll will be shunned even though i have commited no sin.

  i also may explain a little of why and how i came to this decision with out bashing the org to much out of respect for my wife.

  Crazyguy,

  Great, sincere letter. They do not deserve the dignity of receiving such a letter, but if you are going to send it, here are a couple suggestions:

  'In retrospect' - instead of this, personalize that this is your retrospection on the WTS teachings, and perhaps put 'To my retrospect', or 'Upon reflection, I have come to the realization that ...'

  'Well gentlemen' - instead of this, perhaps put 'After much prayerful study I have come to the conclusion that ...'

  I wish you all the best and I hope so much at least one member of your family sees beyond the WTS abuse/control and remains in contact with you.

  i was angry with my kid for questioning me.

  i work, i pay the bills, i provide food, clothing and shelter for them.

  instead of respect, i get attitude.

  Datadog,

  You probably already have, but perhaps apologize, once you're calm, and talk with your child about why you became so upset. You clearly feel rotten about your outburst, or else you wouldn't have posted. I remember how surly and ungrateful I was as a teenager and cringe at the parental karma coming my way.

  "however, it would be appreciated if such donations are made without restrictions as to where and how the funds may be used.

  " additionally, at this time, there is no need for donations of food, clothing, or other items.

  if such needs arise in the future, you will be notified accordingly.

  I am involved in a Filippino charity and we have organized two large crates to be shipped full of food and clothing to affected areas from Oz. If we ever sent out a letter like that to the public there would be uproar.

  Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped

  by jwfacts in

  2. experiences

  a thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.

  i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.

  i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.
