Anger!!!!

    Anger was a key tool in my being able to break away from the JWs. Some of my anger was for the way I was treated, but ironically enough, some of my major doubts and angry feelings came from seeing how others were treated.

    Then, over a year after leaving the JWs, finding out about Silent Lambs, etc. etc. just really made my blood boil.

    I could forgive the Society for what they've done to me.

    I have a much harder time trying to forgive the mistreatment and manipulation of my family and others I've known.

    But I will never forgive them their policy on child abuse. I can never forget the ones who have died over the blood policy. Who died over whether or not they had a political party card. Who died or suffered because...fill in the blank...

    BTW - instead of draping a sheet advertising Silent Lambs over the Kingdom Hall sign, why not rent a billboard near (or joy of joys, right above/next to) the Kingdom Hall?

    Perfectly legal. Perfectly infuriating (for them) - {evil laugh}

    Lately when I pass by the KH, I just feel sorry for those poor suckers. But then, I don't have any relatives still stuck inside. I'm sure I'd be more angry if I did.

    Since my only, beloved sister, her family and my baby brother (45 years old, but still my baby brother) and his wife have decided to shun me, so completely that even if one of them is eaten up with cancer, dying or dead, they find me so disgusting that they will not contact me. The reality of the control of the WTBTS has sunk in more than it ever did. And I am finally angry about it.

    OH Yeah...They will contact you then if they are dying and need help.This is when they will find out the real truth about the WTBTS.

    The WTBTS ONLY gives a shit about you when you can contribute to them.When you become a burden to them you are a nobody.

    (((Flyin'))) The other night, I was at Walmart, and saw an elder that I used to stand on a street corner with in the very early mornings, when we were auxiliary pioneering. He looked sickly and old, and very very angry. I tried to catch his eye, but, I didn't succeed. This is the same elder that I met shortly after I left and was DF'd. He was in a wheelchair then, and never spoke, but glared menacingly at me as his wife and I hugged. They both suffer from serious, severe mental and emotional issues. Part of me laughed and felt happy that I appear to be in a much better place emotionally than he does, and part of me wanted to go up and get in his face just to get a reaction. I took the high road, and said a prayer for him. Anger is a good sign for a cult survivor.

    Love you,

    Anger can be good if it keeps alive the reasons why we oppose wrongdoing. If mankind is apathetic towards evil, the evil ones will prosper and multiply.

    "Warning: these people may seem harmless, but they break up families!!!"

    I have often been tempted , perhaps something like "Its just not true, you idiots, look it up for yourselves"

    Kid-A, that would get a few laughs. Especially if people kept inquiring for the manure.

    Lo-Ru, you know they spend all of their time trying to portray a neat, clean, orderly appearance to the OUTsiders. I can just see them scurrying to pick up the trash. I can imagine bags of trash, opened by doggies, all over the lawn one Sunday morning and driving by to see "volunteers" out picking it all up. If you ever do it, be sure there's mail addressed to you in the trash.

    A New Me, even when you get the cure, remember we are still your friends and still brothers and sisters. The old bastards from Bethel can't take our association with each other away.

    Juni, other than businessmen and politicians, it would seem JW's are the only ones wearing suits anymore.

    I am told that anger is part of the healing process

    Stilla, me, too. The only thing is, why did it take me so long to finally feel it? I guess because it's only been in the last few months that I was told I was not to be contacted even if my JW relatives are dying or dead.

    Love2B, if you ever throw eggs, do it when there will be time enough for them to dry and affect the paint.

    BTW, I fantasize about covering up all the local KH signs with bedsheets advertising the silentlambs website, with warnings about how the KHs are havens for child molesters. I will probably actually do it someday. At least doing that isn't vandalism or destroying personal property. It might violate some code or something, but hell, who cares?! As long as the JWs can't make any money for me doing it, I'd be satisfied.


    I think it's hilarious that someone throws their trash on the KH lawns. I think I'd like to start doing that, too, although I am totally against littering and really fanatical about it! I have a car full of garbage sometimes . . . But, hmmm!

    Madam Q, the bedsheets is a good idea. I'd make sure the media is contacted to film the bedsheets before and DURING their discovery. Make sure the newspapers have a big photo and the TV stations are there filming the miffed, redfaced brothers taking the sheets down. Try to figure out a way to make the sheets difficult to remove.

    As for littering: this is litter you know will be cleaned up QUICKLY. So go ahead in good conscience. I think in this case, Mother/Father nature would understand.

    I can't say that I will ever forgive the WTBTS for what it has done to hundreds of thousands of us. I'd like to think that I could be the better one for doing so, though. What they have done is the unforgivable sin, in my mind.

    Delilah, I'd crank that number up into the millions of us that have been hurt and millions more that are being hurt now, don't you think? I believe that any of the brothers high up, who knowingly keep promoting the control of people and the cover up of sexual and other kinds of abuse, well, they have a lot to answer for when they meet their maker. I know Jesus would scream at them and call them offspring of vipers and sons of the devil as well.

    But I will never forgive them their policy on child abuse. I can never forget the ones who have died over the blood policy. Who died over whether or not they had a political party card. Who died or suffered because...fill in the blank...

    Jamelle, I agree. My own two children will never be normal due to lack of exchange transfusions during my pregancies and soon after their births. The billboard is a great idea because they can't easily take it down. A lot of towns don't allow billboards inside town though, so the sheets might be necessary.

    Luna, I'm so happy for you that you don't have relatives still trapped inside.

    OH Yeah...They will contact you then if they are dying and need help.This is when they will find out the real truth about the WTBTS.

    The WTBTS ONLY gives a shit about you when you can contribute to them.When you become a burden to them you are a nobody.

    Poztate, this is so true. It's the reason I became inactive. And I noticed this with many individuals and families over the years, they will spend hundreds of hours bringing them in, but once baptized, only care for them as long as they are assets to the congo/org. Once you become a liability in anyway, they drop you like you're a posionous snake.

    I took the high road, and said a prayer for him. Anger is a good sign for a cult survivor.

    Sunny, that's why I love you so much, dear friend. You always take the high road, no matter how angry you are.

    Blues, I agree that apathy let's evil burn like vast bushfires. All it takes is a spark and some wind for it to spread. I'd add to your poster: "Ask your questions before your baptism, or from then on you will be labled apostate and shunned for them."

    I'm angry that my parents and siblings shun me but they welcome my brother-in-law into their homes and he molested my sister and me (they know that he did it too). If anyone ever touched my two kids I would probably kill them, not welcome them over for a meal. It makes me feel like I was so unimportant to them.

    I'm angry that they gave up their relationship with my children, and have never seen my daughter who is 3 years old. She is the sweetest girl on the earth and they just don't care!

    When I do pass a KH I think "nah nah nah nah . . .I'm free of this crap and you are not!"

    I can't believe they don't see the idiocy of their decision to allow your brother in law/child molester in their home, but not you a beloved son.

    I adore my grandchildren. I could never shun them. It would kill me. I'd rather have died at the Big A than shun my grandsons. I guess that type of thing is what helped wake me up.

    Woops! Hehe. Lo-ru, see the correction above.
