I will keep you guys posted for sure. The lawyer is suppose to contact me within the next couple of hours and I am hoping for some good to come from this. Good as in them leaving me the hell alone. It also involves family (in-laws) who just can't stop thier gossiping. This harrassment has to stop!

I have found a lawyer for libel and look what I found on his sight. I though this might be of intrest and I think I may have a case. This is the Montana law for libel and slander.
Defamation – Slander and LibelDefamation and invasion of privacy in Montana
“To spread suspicion, to invent calumnies, to propagate scandal, requires neither labour nor courage. It is easy for the author of a lie, however malignant, to escape detection, and infamy needs very little industry to assist its circulation.”
– Samuel Johnson: Rambler #183 (December 17, 1751)
What is defamation?
“Defamation” is either libel or slander. M.C.A. 27–1–801. Written words and pictures are considered “libelous,” while spoken words are called “slander.” Generally, defamatory radio and television broadcasts are considered to be libel, rather than slander. Libel or slander is said to have occurred when it is “published,” that is, when it is printed, or said.
“Libel” is a false and unprivileged publication by writing, printing, picture, effigy, “or other fixed representation to the eye” that:
1. exposes a person to hatred, contempt, ridicule or obloquy; or
2. causes him to be shunned or avoided; or
3. has a tendency to injure him in his occupation. M.C.A. 27–1–802.
"Slander" is a false and unprivileged publication – other than libel – that:
1. charges a person with crime, or with having been indicted, convicted, or punished for crime; or
2. imputes in him the present existence of an infectious, contagious, or loathsome disease; or
3. tends directly to injure him in respect to his office, profession, trade, or business, either by imputing to him general disqualification in those respects which the office or other occupation peculiarly requires or by imputing something with reference to his office, profession, trade, or business that has a natural tendency to lessen its profit; or
4. imputes to him impotence or want of chastity; or
5. by natural consequence causes actual damage. M.C.A. 27–1–803.
A libel or a slander is committed every time the false statement is repeated by its original maker or by another person, even though that person is repeating the defamatory statement accurately. Multiple copies of a publication containing a defamatory statement do not create multiple publications of the defamatory statement, because the entire edition of a periodical, book, broadcast, or other similar publication is treated as a single publication.

Sorry everyone, I wasn't able to get back to my thread due to my computer acting up. Thank you for all your words of advice, and encouragement.
I do want to leave but I want to make it so difficult for them, I will look into getting an attorney. The other reason for an attorney is the other day I was in the grocery store and I ran into a guy who works there. He said that a witness from my congregation had slandered me to him about my business. It was flat out lies! I reassured him that the stories that she had told were not true. I noticed that my business had took a slight hit but the thing I have going for me is that this is a small town/community and the majority of people that know me have known me my whole life and know that I am an honest person. She doesn't have the credibilty that I have. Also my sister in law who is a witness is the one I know pushing the elders in this direction. She totally has it out for me and has for the last 3 years. About a month ago, she had approached some about sisters in our KH in the same grocery store telling them not to talk to me because I am an apostate. They then come to my house or call and tell me.

@Pika chu- I was sad when I first got it then I was like WTF, what authority do these people think they have over me! Then I was pretty much pissed me off the rest of the day....
@Onedayillbefree- I am going to lay low for a while, I knew this was coming but I will try and stave it off for as long as I can. Pretty much to be a big pain in theass as much as possible for them! I'm glad I got you guys to lean on, seriously if it wasn't for this site and the people in it I would of still been in that cult! :)
@DonutZ-Yes, according to the elders it probably does!
@Cedars- Thank you for the incouraging words. :) I never knew how persistant the elders were until they got wind that I didn't want to be a witness anymore which was heresay from a third party. I do have a DA letter ready but I was waiting for the right moment I guess.
@just n from bethel- I didn't get it ceritfied in fact it had the wrong address on it. They had sent me a letter before and I told them I would send them a response but now they are claiming apostasy charges. I have posted Private Property signs on my land so they will not come up. They don't know what my new number is so they can't contact me that way. I would like to contact an attorney about this if it would do any good.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

....after 17 years Steve converted.
All that means is now he can still hit her and get support of the congregational elders if she dares to complain again!

More apostate hating from the Watchtower
by Igot2bme ini ran across this post on fb-.
the november 15, 2011 study version of the watchtower, has this to say in an article praising jehu's actions against the family of ahab.
"the prophet elisha sent one of the sons of the prophets to anoint jehu as king and to instruct him to kill every male of the apostate house of ahab.2 ki.

I can't wait until they have the study of this particular Watchtower. I am going show up at my congregation with a recording device (hidden) to record the responses during the study. Really curious to hear what kind of answers they come up with.

I am planning on getting in touch with the television news media preferably NBC. I know that they have done stories on WTS child abuse scandals before in the past. I really want to submit this developing story. I feel the ramafications could be huge against the WTS if there is more exposure in the states.
