    Curious.

    If not would anyone like to help me pen a very 'Assertive' letter ?

    Just for the hell of it, see if we get a response ?

    What are you pet subjects?

    Instead of starting a new thread I'm just going to ask something in this one (which may be relevant) hope you don't mind:

    If I was an ex - JW, that had moved away from original congregation and had been technically 'inactive' for about ten years, no contact with any JW's. Then wrote some letters to HQ that are fairly critical of loads of things (the usual topics) would this trickle through to a judicial committee or would they just leave me be?

    The only thing I can really say is that I have heard reports that letters of this kind may likely end up shredded if word doesn't get back to the local BOE.

    This magazine answers your very interesting question...

    I detest the way some letter writers feel they need to stroke the GB members egos before attempting to ask a question or offer suggestions.

    Lost, read this:

    An Open letter to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses

    It was written by a now-ex-elder.

    Enjoy!

    It's more effective to call the Service Department, tell the brother your name and congregation number,

    and ask him to give the GB a message:

    Goobye, False Prophets!

    You know they get opened by the peons in the mail area and get slotted to the peon assigned to handling these gnatty letters? I'm positive nobody on the GB ever sees these letters. They just figure out what congregation you are from and send it back to the BOE or have a form letter sent for your particular gnatty letter.

    I sent a contentious letter (UN and Conti) though I wasn't slamming them completely (just implying). Got a reply two weeks later. Sent a second letter that was a bit more contentious and haven't got a reply yet.

    Shredder you think?

    zound don't mind at all, work away.

    If a letter is marked private and confidential, doesn't that mean that by law the only person who can open it is the recipient ?

    even by-passes the secretary ? no ?

    I dunno, it just popped into my head today. Not and angry aggressive letter, statement, whatever, but really assertive, stating the facts like.

    sometimes I get really freaking peed off, and a bit angry.

    (bites tongue to refrain from using bad language, let the reader use discernment, lol)
