Yes Sherry, I considered that, but forgot about the Watchtower rule that prevents disfellowshipped people from talking to one another.

I've never heard this before. Can anyone provide me a link to an article???

Sorry, Billygoat, I have Googled repeatedly and cannot find the thread. In it someone told of a carpool arrangement with another disfellowshipped person and how the elders came up after the meeting and said this was unacceptable. There may have been a KM, or Questions from Readers, or a paragraph in the Lamp book about it too, but I can't recall. I'm another year older but my mind seems to age in dog years.

Billygoat,

I started another thread with your answer. Apparently a lot of people remember this. Maybe my brain isn't completely mush yet after all! LOL!

Swan:

The letter sounds great! I hope this gets up and running. I am more than willing to help in any way I can.

The only thing that strikes me after reading the letter is that I would want to communicate my personal concern for what that person may be going through having been disfellowshipped and being shunned by family and friends.

Swan

Good point adelmaal.

I will add it to the next draft. Any other suggestions anybody?

Might I also add that I think the letter should be handwritten and personally addressed to the individual - JMHO. I think it would look more sincere and heartfelt and less like a chain letter that way.

Yes, I agree. This was just a sample. The more personal, the better, without revealing anything about the sender, of course. And I would highly recommend that the messenger write the letter in his or her own hand and NOT just pass on the sender's letter. This way the contact has no way to identify the sender by their handwriting and possibly turn them in to the elders. Tammy

You are so right. I thought about that when I was considering writing my letter to my friend. I thought if he or the elders might recognize my handwriting...

I'd be willing to help. I think it's a great idea. The letter is very well written. I do like the idea about putting something in to show our concern for what they are going through. Let me know what I can do to help.
