    To those that were hoping to leave witty responses to this thread that was mislabled "Letter O", You're going to be disappointed. It's supposed to be "Letter I'm writing to friends."

    This is how it starts.

    To my dear friends:

    You might be confused why I became "Apostate" and "Godless.". Your confusion will be cleared up by this letter.

    For a long while, I doubted if the JW's had the truth. Why? Growing up, they seemed to have alot to hide. Think about it. When you were at the doors, you were told to walk away from those that asked questions that were critical of the JW's. I'm sure you didn't give it a second thought, but I did. It's been something gnawing at my inner soul for a long time. I never thought those inner feelings were justified until the child molestation scandals. A certian Elder (Which I won't mention.) told me that the guy that was helping the child molestors was a local ex witness who was caught wife swapping and I shouldn't worry about what happened. Turns out, it wasn't him. It was actually an elder from Kentucky that was disfellowshipped after appearing on NBC's Dateline show, talking about the numerous unreported child molestation cases that occur in the JW organization. It deeply offended me how they would put their organization's reputation in front of one of Jehovah and Jesus' children. And then I brought up a disturbing fact with another group of elders. How the JW's were once affiliated with the UN. They told me that an "Apostate" made up the page that gave indication so. Wrong again. The page that was hosting the document that proved that the UN was affiliated with the WT was on the UN's official site.

    They say "Where there's smoke, there's fire". And I see alot of smoke coming from the JW's. I'm not waiting to get burned by the fire if I see something that's cardinally wrong and I blow the whistle.

    Good day.

    good luck my friend.. hope it goes well for you

    I don't think I will send anyone a letter.. those I could send it to, wouldn't listen but rip it up any way.

    say.. might try to be in Mpls for the Sting/Annie L concert in July.. (tickets already sold out in hours here and only crappy seats left in this area).. if I can swing tickets.. maybe we can hook up when there?

    Sure! We need to catch up on some old times! You'd be suprised at how much I've changed!

    While I hope someone listens I have a sinking feeling they will not. Ostrich in the sand syndrome, but I do wish you luck.

    I made sure to eliminate the follies that I made in my other letters, namely, being too long and including information that the JW's really not ready to take in. I just thought of how I left. It wasn't through long letters and in your face confrontations, rather, it was with statements that were short, to the point, yet filled with good arguments.
