Dear Friend,
I think - NOT. Do Not give them a reason to think they have power over you.
I wrote a letter to four previous congregations I went to for years each explaining the reasons the Watchtower was so badly corrupt. I reasoned out that public reports against the WT had to be true since libel lawsuits are handy and effective against such. I exposed the corrupt decisions they made with the United Nations membership they had and they DID NOT need a library card. I felt that a solid condemnation would be a testimony to sincere but blinded elders. I didn't say I was leaving, I made it obvious they weren't going to see me there again. I even called the org Satanic and demon inspired!
Lies, lies, lies and Satan is the Father of the lie but the WT wants one to lie, in court if they say to and despite perjury penalty, to protect the "organization" even if the issue is a pedophile being tried. That would protect the pedophile! Paul wanted to protect Christians from such sinners and said to get THEM out
Could you really trust such a dishonest organization where deceit is institutionalized?
When two elders demanded me to answer, "Do you still want to be a Jehovah's Witness?" I sternly warned them NOT to put words in my mouth. I said that I didn't answer to them any more and that their rules do not apply here.
My testimonies at Cornerstone Baptist Church where I attend now (great Bible study - try it you will like it) must be effective since I 've heard that JW in field service walk away when they are told by the householder he goes to my Church! True story, the brother said, "Oh you must really know your bible well then."
Go to a traditional Protestant Church. Don't listen to the tape recording the WT put into your head, that is Mind Control, Cult Thought Control, Brain Washing. There aren't demons powerful enough to stop you from hearing truth.
Blessings,
Paul
