Elder body removed – Watchtower letter
An elder body was removed last year in California. Most folks have never seen a Watchtower letter breaking this news. But one is at my blog right now. It comes from public documents filed regarding the ongoing litigation in Menlo Park, California.
My article is titled Autonomous? — Just Remove Them and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/06/autonomous-just-remove-them.html

Whoa!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many elders were deleted?
Thanks for posting this, Marvin.
www.ex-jw.com site has all the available public court documents on the Menlo Park case (this letter is Exhibit J) in pdf form, too. This is a hugely important case. The two most recent pdfs are here, but there are many more linked with the articles.

And another letter that needs writing. Dear body of annointed gibbering body members. This letter is being sent on behalf of a large group of the "rank and file" members of jw's. This group has proposed that the removal of your selves is necessary due to the fact that you have, with no apology, spouted to many false prophesy like statements. it is with no regret that we send this correspondence,
Whoa I bet it looks bad on their resume or coverletter "disappointed from Jah"
revealer, that is an awesome idea. Maybe an online petition demanding the removal of the current GB and the subsequent appointment of men who are Christ-like. Then e-mail the petition to every JW possible!
WOW!
I've heard the term deleted on the board before but thought it was just a term that was used here. It actually is an "official" term! WOW! Still in shock. You learn something new about this decitful organisation all the time.
Yeah it is deleted.
Just as easy as hitting backspace on your keyboard. With about the same feeling behind it. A couple of clicks and you no longer exist.
You might have had 50 years in serving the org and if you choose to resign due to health reasons you are considered as having been deleted. Not retired, not stepped down, or serving in another capacity. Just deleted. The Watchtowers version of showing appreciation for former elders and their efforts is to crap on them. See the steam rising from the big load we just dumped on you and your reputation? That's holy Spirit!
