  What is the key to free yourself from the Organization?

  The "key" is disfellowshipping!

  First you have to understand the vow we made:

  w85 6/1 p. 30 Subjecting Ourselves to Jehovah by Dedication

  Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?

  Did you say; "yes!"?

  Now understand what it says in the; "Organized to do Jehovah's will" book:

  When it is necessary to disfellowship an unrepemtant wrongdoer from the congregation, a brief

  announcement is made, simply stating: "[Name of person] is no longer a Jehovah's Witness." There

  is no need to elaborate. This will alert faithful members of the congregation to stop associating with that person.

  I underlined the "key" words which legally free a person from the abominable and disgusting baptismal vow that was invented by the Governing Body to obtain veneration for themselves!

  It's not really what you might think about in terms of legality, it's what does Jesus Christ think!

  YOU ARE NOW REALLY FREE!

  The "key" is disfellowshipping!

  Romans 9:26

  26

  　and in the place where it was said to them, ‘YOU are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’"

  "[Name of person] is no longer a Jehovah's Witness." ------->> ‘YOU are not my people,’

  For our family the key was the liberating gospel (or Good News) according to Paul (and others).

  Isaiah 61:1:

  "The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me [Jesus], for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me [Jesus] to tell [the] good news to the meek ones [sheep or wheat]. He has sent me [Jesus] to bind up the brokenhearted [spiritually deprived and unregenerated], to proclaim [spiritual] liberty to those taken [spiritually] captive [by religion/ists] and the wide opening [of the spiritual eyes] even to the [spiritual] prisoners [of religion/ists]".

  Seeing the Pharisees ("elders") deep contempt, hatred and fear of the unabridged gospel of grace was the final clincher.

  Understanding that you don't have to spread your picnic blanket out next to a big pile of dog crap. Pick a better place.

  Key to leaving?

  Being comfortable with YOUR decision NOT to be a SEAT-WARMER FOR THE WT anymore.

  Not settling for manipulative, conditional, fake relationships.

  Realising it's your life and you don't need someone elses permission to go or not to go meeting.

  suavojr: Once you understand that Jehovah's Witnesses have no authority over one’s self, that’s when the process of liberation starts regardless of all doctrinal errors they may have.

  Yes, you are taught to relenquish your control over yourself to the WTBT$ starting with your very first bible study. At the point where you figure out they are not phasing you...You become a liability.

  They seek a domineering control which can lead to deeper bible study that will push you either way with your new acquired knowledge.

  Nice quote, Shirley.

  Nice posts kneehigh and beth sarim.

  Wish I would have woken up myself in '95, instead of wasting 20 years and being depressed for most of them.

  I was baptized into some such Jehovah's Witness religion in 1973. My baptismal questions were different; it was a different religion. I left the religion in 1999. If you want me to be a JW again CONVINCE me! Tell me what the 'truth' is. I dare you!

  They can't. They know they can't because I am absolutely on to them! That is why they shun me.

  Knowlege is power.
