    Nope.....

    In fact my 'understanding' is that some COs are pushing harder for Elders to 'clean up' their rosters.....

    Please keep in mind that CO personality is as varied as opinions on politics!

    I submit the following exerpt from the BOE LTR Nov 17, 2010 (Letters of Introduction)

    Full LTR http://www.sendspace.com/file/tikx90

    Congregation publisber: When a publisher (active or inactive) moves to another congregation,a letter of introduction and the C ongregation ' s Publisher Record (S-21) cards should be promptly sent to the congregation where the publisher moved. (The last record card of an inactive publisher should be relained indefinitely by the congregation where the publisher moved.) If the previous service committee knows where the publisher moved, they may take the initiative and send these items without waiting for a formal request from the new congregation. What information should be conveyed in the letter of introduction? Ask yourself: What information would we want to receive if this person were moving into our congregation? (Matt. 7: 12) Clearly state the publisher's full name, the names of any immediate family members. and any privileges the publisher or his family members have enjoyed, such as assignments on the Theocratic Ministry School, working with the Regional Building Committee, auxiliary pioneer service, and so forth. These elements should be included in all letters of introduction. If the person was reproved in the distant past but is not presently under restrictions, there may be no need to mention past judicial action unless the offense involved child molestation, adulterous marriage, or some other notorious wrongdoing

    Yknot, thanks for posting that... looks like I won't be telling anyone the exact town I'm moving to. Wouldn't want the local JWs having any record of me whatsoever. I'll have to get a PO box.

    Welcome Madmen.

    Yknot: We're counseled by the WTBTS to never put an inactive JW on the spot by asking him/her 'Where Have You Been' when he/she shows up to meeting one day.

    Pardon our manners but many on this board would like to know ..........Where Have You Been?

    Yknot, good to hear from you......... again. Are you just passing thru?

    First off . . . welcome Madmen! (there's only one of you right?)

    Part of me would love to send a letter of resignation as some of my friends have, but I don't want to give them the power that would accompany that letter.

    Spot on with that call IMO . . . I declined to "play by their rules" when I left . . . neither DA'd nor DF'd . . . yet.

    It does deny a certain power to them . . . over me, as well as active JW's I occasionally bump into.

    I get periodic approaches (not that often) from well-meaning friends trying to "snatch me out of the fire" . . . but that can be 'beneficial' too.
