My family has known I'm an apostate
by cognac ini found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.
this piece of news is just so depressing.
i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.

Only a Jehovah's Witness can be DF or DA. Only a JW meets with JW elders about their personal lives. And the elders can only make announcements about members of the congregation.
You are not a Jehovah's Witness. You are not a member of the congregation. You have had nothing to do with them for quite some time.
They have no right to do anything to you since you are not a member of their little club. Let them know you know your rights as a non-JW person (not DF and not DA...a non-JW) and that you will bring legal action if they try to treat you as if you are a JW (ie if they make any sort of announcement about you from the stage, df or da you, or anything else).
Better yet, pay to have a lawyer write a letter stating this.
Not saying they won't go ahead and announce something anyway, but there are examples on this board of legal letters to this effect that have worked to stop annoucements/df/da.
ETA: if you meet with them, you are participating...you are 'being a JW.' Don't do it...

preface question:
by mohrb inorder of operations is important, so, i'll ask a question before i make assumptions and start "fixing things.".
obviously, the site heavily encourages the viewpoint of former j-dubs and others who have disagreements with the political posturing of the wbts.
i get that, and see your points.

With the WT open door policy, is it possible to protect itself against predators.
by Quarterback ini would love to see an organization free of exposure of sexual predators.
the globe is full of them.
some states feature alerts on the map to inform families how close a predator lives to them.

What could a large organization do to protect their members from this danger?
1) when they hear about an abuser they could report them to the police.

People who used lawyers to write letters about NOT having their names announced as 'no longer a JW'
This one especially address the exact thing I am talking about...there are actually two legal letters in this thread about DA and the announcement...

Only a JW can be DA or DF.
You have not been a JW for over a year.
Therefore you can't be DA or DF. But they will try to anyway.
Make it clear in writing, that since you are not a member they have no right to do anything to you OR to announce anything about you..
Make it clear that since you are not a JW you are NOT DA-ing.
Since you are not a jw they have no right to discipline you or make ANY announcement about you.
It would be best if you could get a lawyer to write this up. But if you can't, at least threaten them with a legal action if they announce anything about you, a non-member of their club.
