If you do not want to be part of the organization any more, you can simply stop going to meetings or any other activities/get-togethers. If you are a baptized publisher, I assume they will send an elder to check up on you, and possibly a committee if you express your desire to leave.
You can write a letter if you want, but it's not necessary.

The concept of "leaving" Twitter is silly. If you could walk away without any issue, then the site was worthless to you and you probably should have left a long time ago and done something else instead. Otherwise, the site is useful to you in some way, and 'leaving' is an example of biting off your nose to spite your face. "I won't let Elon Musk have control over me" they say, as they leave a site they would otherwise continue to use.
Lucky for Lloyd that Musk isn't buying OnlyFans...

That paragraph from the September 1989 Watchtower is a good example of how they operate. Only those they list have any "scriptural" hope of surviving Armageddon. Yet neither of the scriptures they provide say any such thing. You would need a very long and very intricate interpretation and explanation to even link those two scriptures together, much less explain how they refer to Armageddon, or how they refer to JWs specifically.

Atheism has become a political movement for many atheists in the USA. And at the fringes, people treat politics like religion. So the more fervent atheists are, in a sense, acting like they are religious.
ForeverAlone: Why is Lloyd so bent on Kim proving her lawyer status?
He wants focus attention on her credentials and away from his moral failings and legal shenanigans. He might also think he can use the information against her. I think he wants to make it seem that there is something suspicious going on, in the hopes of undermining anything she says. Since his first step was to admit that everything she said was true, it's not a particularly effective approach.

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

The GB also claims to be directed by God's holy spirit. If they get something wrong, they are not only blaming their imperfection, they are claiming that the holy spirit either misdirected them or abandoned them to their own judgement. Why would anyone trust them?

Hasn't Twitter been losing money? And that $44 billion valuation is hilariously inflated. Musk needs Twitter to generate income because he overpaid for it and is looking at a massive loss if he can't stabilize it.
Not sure why Evans cares, aside from virtue signaling. He wasn't a blue-check before. Now he can rent a blue-check. Isn't he the same guy who nickel-and-dimes people all the time? $150 to get your story in his book is fine, but $8 for a totally-unnecessary checkmark icon next to his Twitter handle is a problem?

He's correct, though. More patrons still support him than were lost to a "defamation campaign."
On the other hand, more than half of his patrons have left because he's an unapologetic adulterer and unrepentant prostitution supporter who only knows how to lash out at anyone who doesn't kiss his feet.
He's also correct that numbers do not attest to whether or not his detractors are right or not.
On the other hand, numbers attest to the disgust that many of his patrons felt when they learned about his behavior, because they cannot respect someone who doesn't realize how bad of a husband and father he has been.
It's the Lloyd experience in a nutshell. What he says is true, but also irrelevant and missing the point. And he seems to think that it's okay, because he got to make a snarky comeback to someone on social media. To say that his priorities are not in order is an understatement.

Wow, that opening part of the convention sounds like a parody but is the actual instructions to visitors. Sit down before the music starts, and shut up and listen while it plays. You don't need to change the words or the intent to make it sound bad!
I do love the placards around the Lego stadium. Some really good zingers in there.

Newtons prediction for end of the world
by dothemath inmaybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.
interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .
what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.

Newton wrote (per Ancient Code) that A.D. 800 (the year Charlemagne created the Holy Roman Empire) would be a perfect year to begin counting from. Using 1,260 years gives us an end date of, yes, 2060.
2061: "overlapping empires"
