Body of Elders

Re: Official Notice of Disassociation
Dear Brothers,
Through this letter I’m informing you of my prayerful decision to discontinue my association with Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, religion into which was baptized as a minor on November 28, 1992 in Xxxxxx, Xxxx. Effective immediately I do not consider myself one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

My reasons are many and some very personal. I do want to explain one those reasons why, after more than 22 years of being a baptized witness and a lifetime of being around the organization, I’ve decided to separate from this organization and follow only Our Lord Christ Jesus.

The reason is that I’ve read “The Finished Mystery” by Charles T. Russell (1917) and the booklet “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” based on a speech by Joseph Rutherford (1920). Both of which are cited by “The Watchtower” as examples of light or spiritual food given at the proper time during and after the inspection, cleansing and selection of the organization by our Lord Jesus Christ as predicted in Matthew 24:45-47 from 1914 to 1919. These two pieces of literature are so erroneous on most biblical explanations attempted that I fail to see how the authors, the publishers and those that believed this could ever assert to be carefully chosen by our Lord Jesus Christ as his “faithful and discreet slave”, His spokesmen to the world, His channel of communication. Any reasonable Christian upon reading these books will, inevitably, arrive to the same conclusion.

I do want to express my deep love for you as persons, as individuals, as friends. I have never met anyone better. Thank you for your friendship and love. I do have to ask that you do not visit me in your capacity of “elders” for any reason. However, you are always welcome to visit me as friends and Christian brothers. I will keep you in my prayers, please do the same for me. “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14 NIV).

Your Brother in Christ,
Diego
