I agree with some. I'd send the letter, but make it "professional". Take out the bad lingo and anger.

at our special assembly day, there was a visiting speaker from bethel.
don't remember his name, but he was a humorless and austere gentleman who was very clearly a company man.
he said many questionable things, especially in the way he generalized about "the world" and "worldly ones.
Does anyone still record the assemblies and Spescial Days?
I think these words cound be more important in teaching about the witnesses than their liturature.

My tract works well...

i have been a lurker here for a few months and feel like i know you all already.
my story is (of course) similar to everyone else's.
basically my mom became a jw when i was 10. my sister and i had to be in it with her, and i wanted to go along because i wanted to please jah...and have lots of furry animals in the new system.
Welcome Megs!

last night, i was struck nearly head-on by a person attempting a left turn as i passed through the intersection.
i was injured, as well as the other driver.
the police told me that he broke his arm, and was in shock.
Glad to hear you're lacking fractures or worse!
Keep us posted and take care,
Bryan
i was raised a jw, third generation.
grampa was a congregation servant and then elder, my dad was an elder for years.
i made it up the ranks fast, you were not anybody if you did not become an elder, i was appointed at an early age.
Welcome guy,
Sorry to hear of your hurt. Is your family shunning you? Did your dad get reinstated?
Best,
Bryan
i believe that the governing body, whether directly or by implication, will predict the great tribulation very soon.
1. they have predicted for a long time now that religion would be destroyed.
2. after the destruction of religion, gog and his hordes would attack the watchtower.
They most likely will have "New Light". It's not that government will attack religions... but "A" religion! Yes the governments of the world are now attacking the Muslem faith!!!
The END is Near!!!!!!!!!!

this is my first post and what a revelation this site has been to me (excuse the pun) if only this had been available when i walked away from the "truth" in 1987, it would have made life a lot more bearable for me.. i was brought up a jw and was baptized at 14 because i thought it was the right thing to do, endured a very strict upbringing combined with the dreadful routines of worship, study and door knocking.
we were deprived of any enjoyment (tv, friends, outings, fun, etc).
education was a bit of a disruption, having moved to where the need was greater our schooling was interrupted so many times we never made any friends.
Welcome Solo, nice to have you here!

i could not have a big new kids on the block pin, or wear any new kids on the block pins in puplic becuase it was considered idolatry.
i also could not wear my shoes without laces (it was cool back then) because it looked wordly.
what other strange theings besides the usual holiday/birthday stuff weren't you allowed to do?
I wasn't allowed to say:
Darn
Shoot,
Dang' it,
Lucky,
.
finally found a good use for all of my old watchtower books.. i've been wanting to do this for a long time.
Burnin' down the house!
