Help with letter of dissociation

boydarwin

Hello,

I am hoping someone here can help. I have been a member here for a while but have never really been much of a poster. I just like to read and learn more then anything else.

I have been a fall away now for several years. Over the past 6 months my life, family situation and marriage have changed dramatically. I have, after years of thinking about it, finally decided to seperate myself entirely and write a letter of dissociation. I can walk around living my life waiting for them to catch me on something and disfellowship me or i can leave on my own terms.

My problem - I do not know what to write or what it should say. I have seen examples on here before...but when I try searching for them now I am not getting many results back, and having a kind of a tough time. Can anyone direct me to where i can get an example of what I should be writing to cover any basis I made need to cover.

Thanking you all in advance for any help you might be able to give.

It all depends on what you wish to accomplish with a letter. If you have no specific goals, then don't write one. A letter should serve your purposes alone, not theirs.

If they are harrassing you or trespassing on your property, warn them that future incidents would be reported to the police. If they're leaving you alone I don't see a need to write a letter. You are not under any obligation to them. If they "catch you" doing something and confront you with it, just tell them to f*ck off.

In other words, treat them as you would treat any door to door salesman that you're fed up with.

They have no authority over you.

Dear Brothers,

I no longer wish to viewed as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Sincerely,

Thank you for your comments Finally-Free. My purpose is purely for me. They can harrass me all they want after and i will take your advice...but this is for me. I want to seperate myself form them...it is a way for me to come full circle and clear my name from there list. I regret all my years with them as a "member" active or not. I want to to officially seperate myself. I want to heal and I consider this a first step.

Boydarwin, your last post sums up what you want to do. You could clean that up and make it your letter.

Dear Congregation,

My purpose in writing this letter is purely for me. I want to seperate myself from you completely. It is a way for me to come full circle and clear my name from your list. I regret all my years with you as a "member" active or not. I want to to officially seperate myself. I want to heal and I consider this a first step. Goodbye

Add in any other pertinent info you can think of- perhaps why you regret all the years.

Here is our resignation letter, it's quite long, but please use any of it, if it's what you need.

Why write anything?

Just call up Brooklyn Bethel and tell them that the Watchtower Society/JW's are no longer your spiritual advisors because they have just been fired.... by yours truly.

They'll feed you a line that it must be done through the local congregation but if you know your congreagtion's name and/or number just tell them to let them know and then say thanks and goodbye.
