Dubstepped.... I can't applaud ur comment enough. In the years that I've been on this site I have seen people express that opinion so much air really gets out of control after a certain point. It always helps me to remind them when they start jumping on my back about dissociating that regard this of the situation they are still and always will be a Jehovah's witness although an active they are still a Jehovah's witness

9 days to go
by Jrjw in9 days to go until i hand my d'a letter in.
its extremely short, as in one sentence long.
i'm not giving them a reason coz i don't need to coz it's my life and my choice and i don't have to answer to the boe or gb.

A lot of people are against dissociation and dissociation letters because of their own inability to be able to just walk away and deal with what would come after that so they encourage feeding and/or various other methods to distance themselves from the organization. Defect of the matter is if you see you are still one of Jehovah's witnesses although in active that is something you shouldn't want connected to you if at all possible.
When people work at a particular organization and they feel they need to part ways they write a letter of resignation I really don't see it as being much different than that and as you state it also clears you from any harassment moving forward good on you for making a decision that you feel will be in your best benefit

Datadog I applaud you for having the balls to be able to be genuione and admit to leaving. I found myself in a similar situation and DA'ed. Tell the to fack off. Write a brief letter stating the reason why. Many say they wont read it, however my letter led to one of the elders on the body leaving and we now hang out occasionally and he and his family have thanked me for doing things the way I did on more than one occasion.
Confessing puts you in a situation in which you HAVE TO MOVE ON. Good for you and I applaud whatever path you take.

My big fat fabulous life....
by silentbuddha inseriously, is this what society has come too?
how can there be a problem in this country with morbid obesity and you promote it on a tv show?.
maybe i just don't get it, but i was in a doctor's office and it was on the tv and i literally wanted to hit this woman in the face with a shoe.

I get it people are fat... so.e of them.
However being fat is unhealthy and we should not try to tell people it is ok and blame people for body shaminbg etc... It is as if reality holds no place in society.
The housewife shows I have not had the unfortunate instance of watching. Thank... Dog...

Fade..... or this?
by Giordano inthere are four ways to leave the 'truth'...... alive............you can be disfellowshiped...... then shunned, you can formally disassociate yourself and be shunned........ you can fade.
the first two words belong to the society, fade on the other hand is defined as 'to gradually grow faint and disappear.
' 'walking away' has it's own negative connotation about one's commitments and relationships.. i think some folks feel uncomfortable with these words.

Those 1st 2 words don't belong to the Society

OrphanCrow thanks for those links. I never really talked about it much because No one really cares about the MOU. LOL
There was a real presence however at Bethel because most of the black brothers were criticized in their local territories for being a part of the "white man's religion. So alot of them woulkd try to mesh the two. Sit and actually exchange ideas etc.
It was rather interesting.
