    OK. I think it is just about time to have to write a letter to my Presiding Overseer. In the letter I plan to state that I was under duress to get baptized at the age of 13. That this letter is confidential and protected under Preacher/Paritioner confidentiality and no one should be told about it. That I be removed as a publisher and that my baptisim as one of JW's be nullified. I plan to also threaten a Defamation of Character lawsuit against the congregation and the society if any announcement is made. I have read on here that there have been cases like this brought before and that most of those baptized under 18 win their case where as most baptized over 18 lose. Does anyone know of any of the winning cases? I would like to include them in my letter. What I need:

    Name vs. WTBS or Cong name. Year Location

    Thanks so much for any assistance that can be provided.

    Not Lexpro. Sorry. I mean Lexis or West Law. Sorry it has been 11 years since I had my paralegal degree and 9 since I have worked for a lawyer. Any ex JW lawyers out there that would be willing to read my letter to the Congregation and make suggestions? If the letter works I will post it everywhere for all JW's baptized before 18 to use so they are not shunned.
