As for the issues, I want to make a general list for the unifrom section that is broad, when people write their own personal part they can say anything and everything they want, if they want to write a ten page rant by all means.
any takers?

The campaign, to be clear Please read carefully:
On the 8th of August 2016 active Jehovah’s witnesses wanting to cut ties with the organization will send in their individual letters of disassociation.
Simultaneously personal disassociation letters will be sent by active Jehovah’s witnesses who despite wanting to cut ties with the religion, are bound by the damaging effects it will cause to their life. These individuals have already suffered much for any stance they have currently taken up to the point of formal disassociation. Their letter will express their individual conviction that they are no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses while lacking specific information on their identify, thus allowing them to show their dissent while not being punished by the organization.
Also former members who have disassociated themselves previously, or were disfellowshipped by the group for “cause”, can write their letter as a reaffirmation of their choice, and a ‘thank you’ for being removed from the dangerous cult.
Those never baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness, but affected by them because of being raised as, or in any other way affiliated with them, can write a letter also expressing their support of the campaign and their disdain for the religious hate and the actions of the religion.
Date:
All letters will be dated 8-8-16, all letters must be dated the same day.
4 Letter Types:
1. Actual DA letter (for those ready to go)
2. Anonymous DA Letter (for those needing to stay in on paper, but wanting to take a test run)
3. Renew DA letter (for those completely out who want to add to the revolution)
4. Those raised or influenced by association who want to contribute. Letter pledging their assistance to any wanting to leave
Addresses:
Return address should be local hall
Send address should be to local kingdom hall, and CC HQ and single source for media outlet. (media outlet TBD)
There should be a certain amount of uniformity to the message, but not too much so there is variety, there should be
Standard section stating necessary language
We should come up with a simple bullet point all encompassing list about why we leave. Ie doctrinal lies, historical dishonesty, child abuse cover-ups, etc.
Personal section to give you voice to the DA, this can be anything and everything you want to say, get it all out.
Any legal language (whether it works or not)
Manifesto if desired to include
Promotion:
We want to make a viral video that adds anticipation and mystery around the date of 8/8/16. This video should be used to promote the campaign to other apostate channels until all details are refined.
We all have this site in common, but many of us know others (exjw) that are on other sites, Facebook forums, etc. once we get the details right we can each make a point to send this out and make it viral. Those who we contact can be asked to do the same. Reach into other audiences and spread the idea.
Mission Statement
The mission of “8/8 world wide disassociate” is to push back at the totalitarian religion and leadership of Jehovah’s witnesses through a campaign of mass dissention. The campaign will be a visual demonstration of the lies and captive nature of the organization and its governing body.
For those who disassociate anonymous
This is the Manifesto of the Silenced
We know one of your strongest tools is the idea we don’t exist. We understand that you have created a perception amongst YOUR followers that when someone disagrees with you or becomes “apostate” as you say, they leave the religion completely and go mentally mad. But this is not true, many normal and healthy people are waking up to your lies everyday, some leave at great cost but many cannot.
The sheer number of captive free thinkers is largely ignored by you and misrepresented by you as “weak” ones who nee to return to Jehovah. But we both know this is simply not true. The ranks of your kingdom halls are rife with those who have left, they do not believe, but they are held captive by your policies of religious hate and years of indoctrination. Those days are over have just ended.
This is to officially put you on notice we are everywhere. We ARE NO LONGER ONE OF JEHOVAH”S WITNESSES. On paper we may be to protect spouses, friends and family. But we are NOT one of you. And since you have decided to keep us captive in your walls of undue control, we are going to fight from the inside out. Every time someone starts to open their eyes, we will be there to escort them out, every chance we get to air your dirty laundry we will, your youth are growing up in the information age and we will reach them. There would have been no fight if your religion/corporation was not this way, enforcing policies of religious hate, but you have made us rebels, you have created an army of enemies that is now out numbering your members. You have created guerilla anti-theocratic warfare in your own house…
It’s time for our silence to make noise. It’s time for you, your congregations, and your members to know we sit side by side with them at the meetings.
The silent will speak
The sleeping will awake…

Lets work on getting the concept written out complete to that when we convey it to others they know EXACTLY whats going on and what to do. We can keep coming with all these ideas of course. But lets get it nice and clear to.
I'd like to make a concise list of JW fails
Historical Dishonesty
Permissive Policies To Pedophiles
Incorrect Doctrine
Religious Hate Practices and Intolerance
They should cover broad areas without to many specifics

weird/odd question, but with our family fading, and our daughter in school how or should one approach teachers with this?
our child is a little too young to understand why we are fading, but it proves challenging in school as they have been, well brainwashed, to say i shouldn't do that etc... .
i don't like explaining anything to teachers about the fade, etc.

Thank you boeing, Cappy is conceptualizing a pledge site.
And I agree that the date should be promoted relentlessly to give it legs. Everywhere it can be included.
And for ones like you I thought the fourth letter would be good, that you will work with those silenced to help people wake up.
Thank you
8/8 should begin showing up randomly throughout the apostate world.

Thank you DT. All good stuff, I will keep trying to combine everyones thoughts into a cohesive plan.
As for any logo it should be simple. Black and white and send a message behind the Mission. That even those that are censored will find a way to be heard.
