How to disassociate? HELP

by Mandrake in

i'm looking for a way to disassociate myself, now i'm thinking to make a "public declaration" before a civil law notary (i'm in chile), but i need some ideas about what to put in that declaration, i would like to look the "ks" book to cover all possible sides and make a solid declaration... any experiences?

my plan is to make that legal declaration that would say "i'm no longer consider myself a jehovah's witness nor want to be linked to any of the wt organizations or legal entities, and want all my personal records to be erased"... any orientation will be helpful :).

Thank you for all your opinions, as a background I can tell you that I'm a born in but only mother and father are witnesses, the rest of my family don't. I have a few friends inside but they know that I already DONT believe in the cult anymore and are even willing to keep in contact with me if I get DF o DA. My family broke up a year ago in a very very painful and bitter way so elders know I have a worldly girlfriend and I'm inactive... I'm more and more involved with my university friends and to be honest I feel ready for the final step... Well I'm thinking of making that official declaration, and keep it to myself and wait (months, even years) to show it to the elders and get them to give the "announce", It can be possible that I even won't show it at all, but making it will be by some reason a relief for me... I'll tell you what happens :) thank you again, It's been almost 2-3 year of lurking before strating to post :)

I'm no longer attending, I'm working to finish my 4th year of dentistry, have a nice girlfriend, but I don't want to be "inactive", I need that satisfaction of "hitting first" and made my point...

father left and took my sister with him.

i'm "inactive", and dating with a wordly girl with my mom "approval".

Father left and took my sister with him. I'm "inactive", and dating with a "wordly" girl with my mom "approval". Now its the first assembly for my mom "alone", but she realized is the same assembly that my father were assigned and also the woman with whom he cheated mommy (a pioneer)... (my father and the other woman had been evading proper discipline and want to get things "straight")...

So, meeting all that people alone could be a little bit shocking for my mother and a BAD BAD BAD reaction can be triggered, so I told my mom: "mom, I'll go with you on saturday, you know I DONT BELIEVE IN IT I'll be there to support you... Well that was 100% honest, but my father is not going now and thus I don't want to go either now, and I'm VERY anguised about attending a full day of crap :(

I offered to go with her because I truly wanted to avoid ugly conflicts or physical confrontation, but well, my word has been given, I told her now that I don't want to go, she frown and got very sad, but I managed to "negotiate" and I will go to pick her up 1 hour before the program ends. I hope that would be more bearable than the full day, any suggestion? Is my first meeting in more than a year!!! But aside that, I don't give a **** about what the people from my ex-cong thinks about me now, well, I respect true affection but I'm not taking any WT advise... And well a good thing is that my mom is OK with me showing up in shorts and a light beard hahahaha
