WAC you're very precious to us and I'd like you to write that letter and then put it aside for a little bit while you cool down. There is too much at stake to let it be handled by such intense emotion. Breathe a bit bro.

Hi WAC, sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I think you have the right idea here though:
I STARTED WRITING A LETTER AND LETTING MY ANGER AND FRUSTRATION OUT BUT I KNOW IT WILL HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE G RATED VERSION OR MAYBE JUST TELL THEM I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT"
I think that's the right way to handle this. As has been said before, start talking about "depression" and elders tend to back off. They have no training on how to handle cases like that, so leave the supposedly - depressed one to work it out for themselves. You could miss countless meetings with that one, and be love - bombed like a newbie at the odd one you attend.
Whatever you do, I hope it goes well for you
love

Have to agree w/Linda on this one. Revise your final letter.
In cases where a person has been abused - sexually or emotionally or physically - a professional counselor will tell you to vent about what happened to you. Write it down on paper exactly what you feel. It can contain disconnected thoughts, swearing, whatever makes you feel like you're getting it off your chest. BUT don't send it.
You have to let it all out and then revise your letter so it makes sense and is to the point. Then send it to the abuser.
Best to you.

Make sure you tell them that your Doctor has told you not to discuss your depression with unqualified individuals since that will only make it worse

WAC - the best way to get even with the WTBTS and the BOE is by being your own person and not letting them have control over you and/or your emotions. Easier said then done, I know. But hang in there and if you feel that your not dealing well with your emotions or things become overwhelming, please seek therapy. The best way to get even with JWs is to improve yourself and become strong without them and thru methods that they disapprove of (i.e., therapy).

Thanks guys. The $hit is on hold. Great replies ... especially the one from ministeramos (among others)

The best defense is to shun them. I don't need to waste my energies more than I have too. The letter really helped me though, sorry for the cursing. Thanks guys. I would have busted some caps if it wasn't for you guys. Much Love from Iran to where you may be. -nIGHT tEMPLAR
