It's a done deal. I
signed my letters today, and my attorney is mailing them by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested together with his
cover letter which states:
The Body of Elders of the (named) Congregation
of Jehovah’s Witnesses
c/o (named elder), Congregation Secretary
Address
RE: RESIGNATION-SAIL AWAY
Dear Mr. (named elder):
I represent Sail Away of (home town). She has
expressed her intention to resign as a member of the Jehovah’s Witness
Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, et al, the Christian Congregation of
Jehovah’s Witnesses, et al, the (named) Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses and
the (named sister) Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Her letter of
resignation is enclosed.
My client has asked me to inform you in no
uncertain terms that she does not want to be contacted by any member of your
congregation or your organization acting in an official capacity on behalf of
an elder, the congregation, or the church. Her letter clearly states her wishes
in this regard. Therefore, members of your organization should not attempt to
contact her. Please understand that I will commence legal action or pursue
other legal recourse without further notice if you or any member, church elder
or other member of your church acting
for your congregation contact, harass, threaten or intimidate my client in any
way.
You or your legal representative may contact me
if you have any questions whatsoever.
Very truly yours,
(My attorney who was flabbergasted by my description
of the shunning process and the cult-like nature of the organization and who
would not accept payment for writing this letter)
