  I might have added:

  PS: God's Will is decided by a 2/3rds majority of the Governing Body, made up of imperfect men who
  are not inspired by God (by their own admission). They have been wrong every single time they made
  predictions that they say were not said in "Jehovah's name" so they are trying to duck being labeled
  false prophets. But the end didn't come in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1925, within a generation's lifetime from 1914,
  1975, or during the 20th century. It is not around the next corner, nor will it arrive by 2034 or any other
  imminent time they might pick next. Send your kids to college and let them plan to take care of you when
  the end doesn't come and you are broke from poor planning. Show them love when they leave the JW's so
  they don't decide to avoid helping you in your old age after a lifetime of your shunning them.

  But that's just me. Yours is a great letter.

  Yah I agree that last paragraph sounds just a little over done. Kids will be kids and sneaking out to do things mommy and daddy don't approve of is very common . You can't bar their windows and chain them to their beds at night.

  I like it. Nice clean break leaving no doubt where you stand. Kick 'em when they're down. :)

  Thank you for ALL these comments. Yes, we debated over the last paragraph as well. These were things that we know of with certainty from first-hand knowledge in this last cong (where are cards are) and the parents were so boastful of 'knowing their kids', it would make you sick.

  Thanks.

  Well if you have firsthand knowledge of these things, I'ts not like they aren't going to consider this to be an "apostate letter" anyway and just write it off. I say good for you! I sent mine out recently too and feel it was the best decision I could have made for myself.

  I agree with the entire letter.

  I would not delete the last paragraph..........no need to 'sugar coat' any wrongdoing by the WTS or their congs.

  They do not 'sugar coat' any wrongdoing by its members when they want to Disfellowship someone.

  Regarding the facts and truth': "it is what it is".

  When I wrote mine all I said was, "I no longer wish to be considered one of Jehovah's Witnesses". Dang! I wish I would have added a few more things like this letter!

  It's a devastating letter but I would also advise you to leave out the last paragraph because it goes too far from criticising the org to criticising persons and becomes a personal attack.
  
  You could instead write something less personal like: people in responsibility fail to do what they preach and as a result apply double standards.
