You can opt out of SWAPA representation, but are still required to pay dues.

I know of a few Kool Aid stirrers who did it years ago, during JW's first go as prez. It was some sort of "protest" when they thought that (old) SWApA was trying to "kill the golden goose".

That was a complete joke itself, since in spite of JW, most of the reps were still in the give the company whatever it wanted mindset.
