My friends,
I just finished a holiday week-end with old friends in the organization. All they knew when they came was that I had recently resigned as a elder. When they left a few hours ago they knew much more. Both family heads are appointed elders, whom I assisted to enter this organization in the first place. I was VERY forward with them. Several times the remark was make, “you sound like an apostate”. I believe they both love me as much or more than the organization. But I have been wrong before, or I would not find myself in this predicament to begin with. One views me as a spiritual father, the other as his brother and mentor. But likely one will be compelled to be more “loyal” to the organization than to me.
My wife was supportive and participated in the discussions as well. We both know this could be the end for us, but feel it must come eventually, for our sakes the sooner the better. We are only hanging around to share the truth with as many as we can. I feel my children will come with us when we are exposed, but regret my aged parents will be hurt and other relatives will cut us off. The good news is that some friends have already been reached with enough truth to ‘set them free’.
To you who walk this tightrope with us I commend you for your perseverance. For those who quit this game ages ago, you have my respect. To those lurking, wondering why things seem so wrong but ‘where else are we to go’ I want to extend my sympathy and support. I have always believed we must “wait on Jehovah”. Yet HE is waiting on YOU! Search all you can in the Wtlib and index and you find God’s people never “waited” on Jehovah to do the right thing. Instead God waited on his people to do the right thing.
Jehovah’s Witnesses reading this message: Quite waiting on God before He quits waiting on you.
E-mail me if you wish.
