    Any comments? I'm thinking of mailing this letter.

    March 13, 2007

    To West C Elders of Jehovah’s Witnesses Religion:

    Two of your church elders have been stopping by my home, and I wish for you to mark my address as a DO NOT CALL. I sent a letter of disassociation to a northern California Kingdom Hall and it was returned to me with a note from the post office that there was no mail receptacle. I assume my sister gave you my address to call on because I have not lived at this address very long.

    I have not regularly attended a Jehovah’s Witness church in over 17 years. It puzzles me why no one called or stopped by to check on my spiritual welfare when I stopped attending your church, but now you are sending your representatives to condemn me for no longer wanting to be associated with your religion. I find that to be a very unChristian attitude, and definitely not the type of behavior that Jesus and his apostles would have displayed; but it is the behavior displayed by people of your faith all over the world according to many people I have spoken to about this issue.

    I do not think you teach the so-called ‘Truth’, and I do not believe that the Watchtower Society is God’s representative on earth as you teach your members. I have learned a lot about the inner workings of the Governing Body at the Watchtower Society, and what I have learned surprised me since much of the information is hidden from the general population of your members. Also the foundation of your man-made religion is steeped in Pyramidology, Numerology, false prophetic dates, and a lot of superstitious nonsense; the older publications (which the Watchtower Society tries to keep this knowledge from their members) are full of nonsense about ‘miracle wheat’, blood being in immunizations—which was false, aluminum cookware being dangerous, and some Watchtower-owned mansion in San Diego which the Society taught was being saved for Abraham and David to live in after their earthly resurrection.

    I could go on and on about many other subjects that have caused me to despise the Watchtower Society as an evil cult that brainwashes its members to be robotic-like followers who have no mind of their own, and teaching them that every time a belief or doctrine is blatantly changed—it is ‘new light’. Here’s some of the reasons I now have this attitude toward your religion: the Watchtower Society was a secret member of the United Nations for years—when it became known, they quickly withdrew their name and claimed it was a ‘mistake’; the doctrines/teachings on whether or not taking a partial blood transfusion or receiving an organ transplant has flip-flopped over the years, yet the thousands of members directly affected by either deaths in their families or being ousted out of their good standing in your church have never ever been acknowledged; thousands of victims of sexual abuse have been scorned by the church because there were not 2 eye-witnesses to the crimes and the abusers are not turned into the authorities and still have good standing in the congregations, at times victimizing even more members and/or their young children.

    So please do me a favor and mark me as a DO NOT CALL. If you need to make a silly announcement about me being an apostate or some-such nonsense—you have my blessing.

    Sincerely,

    my name & address

    Well, at least you don't mince your words! You've got a clear message: go the hell away.

    I like it! And the sheer amount of Dub nonsense you're able to list is great!

    That letter sounds great, its nice and to the point.

    I would like to say/write something similar if ones started calling on me, Ive only stopped for 3 or 4 years but no-one ever called after my "im not going to the meetings anymore" statement when an elder eventually noticed i'd stopped going after about 3 months of absence.

    Could I filch off your letter if it ever came up?

    Bluebell--welcome to the forum! Yes you can even quote me, I don't mind.

    My JW sister is a little nutty, I'm still waiting for some kind of revenge come-back from her. I hate that feeling of waiting for something negative to happen, and I'm not being paranoid--my non JW siblings have been also waiting for her comeback.

    that letter made me chuckle. It just makes them seem like a bunch of silly children and you like the adult.

    Also if its 17 years since you went and they make an annoucement what are the chances that anyone in that hall will even know who they are talking about. Thats what makes the whole thing even more pathetic!

    Very nice letter. Although they may not understand the truths that are mentioned in your letter, they certainly will label you as an apostate. Welcome to the club! The letter was very precise and directly to the point filled with excellent references in which they would not want to openly debate.

    Wow! Love your letter. It had me clapping and laughing all the way through.

    Why play their game? I wouldn't send shit. I wouldn't answer the door either. Make them waste their time and gas at your expense. Play the game. Remember to make your own destiny and do not allow others to shape it. You could always be an asshole and feed your sister disinformation, which you know would most certainly get passed onto the elders.

    I *love* this letter and think you should send it...to as many members of the cong as you can find addresses for. Or hand them out to those who do knock on your door.

    It definitely needs to get into the hands of the JW bugging you or their elders -- a lot of food for thought for them and hopefully a seed planted.

    Nice letter.
