  What laws are on your side (in the U.S.) so you can leave quietly

  by oppostate in

  in another topic "just quit quietly - the law is on your side" there was a lot of discussion about how to leave quietly without getting tagged publicly as "no longer a jw".

  here are some legal cases that could be used to show support for leaving quietly.. you have to first send a letter saying you're leaving that specific congregation, and that you don't want them to keep records of you.. if the boe says anything against you here are some court cases that make precedent for bringing a suit against them:.

  baugh v. thomas (1970).

  Sounds complicated what you outlined.

  Quietly walk away from the congregation, if approached by elders don't say anything that allows them to DF you.

  Move on with your life.

  for those who understand german (some parts are in english).

  basically the german public tv station aired last monday a program about the danger of blood transfusions and a needed change of habits of hospitals and doctors, also about the resistance of giovernments and blood banks, touching even on financial interests.

  JW Friend was Married this Weekend. Tutto è bene che riesce bene.

  a close jw friend of mine, got married this weekend.ever since he and i meet (13 years ago) when we were both 18 we've been close and we've experienced different life experiences together.. our qualities, have complemented each other well over the years..he the voice of responsibility and reservedness, & i the voice of spontaneity and passion.i taught him about life and he taught me about perseverance through trial.. i care about justice, he cares about reputation.he is a better person then i will ever be, but so stricken by society.. i always stuck my neck out for him, but our friendship was the thorn in his reputations side.he was on the path to mts, and i was on the path of frivolity.despite all this.. when the 2 of us were together, free from the scrutiny of the outside world he was himself, and he was a great friend.

  though naive about much, he always tried to do what he could to be a friend.. i was there when he and his now wife first started dating.. i envisioned him marrying her, and my wife & i spending many enjoyable times with them as a couple.. shortly after they meet my wife & i learned ttatt.. i explained my findings to him as i did with all my friends and family.

  he being a person, whom i perceived to have great deal of biblical knowledge, i expected valiant effort coming from him to "help me" see where i had erred.all i got was a email with 3 irrelevant watchtower articles & some even more irrelevant scriptures.. i would have surely been his best man, but instead another mutual jw friend was asked.i am not da'd or df'd but this is the pseudo non-invitation that he sent :.

  some of you may know my situation.

  i'm still going to meetings, but i am a closet apostate and homosexual i. only keep going to meetings to please my family and some friends.

  i guess i could tell my mom i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness and stop going to meetings, but i'm too scared to do it.

  There is no easy way out, we all had to go through the same pain of losing a marriage , losing kids and losing hundreds of friends.

  You cannot stay in and be miserable for the rest of your life. No matter what plan of exit you choose it won't be easy but needs to be done and not living a lie.

  As said you will gain a life of freedom and searching of happiness your way and not the watchtower.

  Good luck... you can do it.

  Religious people live in a fantasy world, believe in an imaginary god that never talks to them.

  I agree with you about JW's but have seen even wierder ones in other religions.

  Anyone that believes that we have been on earth 6000 years has quite a few screws up there missing.

  Have known many witnesses that have "put kingdom first" now in their sixties they are living in a mobile home, which there is nothing wrong with that, but receiving food stamps and section 8 here in California where the state helps you with your rent.

  Who is paying for all of that? WE ARE and not their God.
