How unbelievable these upity ups in the organziation can say who is strong or weak, oh that just pisses me of so much . I know that this has occured in many a cong. I knew of a brother and sister who were dirt poor with 4 children, this family lived in a old stone house with water in the basement and the mildew was terrible, the children were always sick, Any way when I met this family I had just returned to Ont. after living 15 years in Quebec, This familywas very hospitable to everyone.
Okay maybe the sister didn't have an immaculate home, and maybe the kids didn't have the best of clothes but no one in the cong. seem to give a damn. This family become friends with me instantly because they were not upity ups and had no airs about them. They were really poor , but the hubby was a great mechanic and so believe it or not but witnesses in the hall had the nerve to ask him to repair there cars or trucks and he would do it for next to nothing. His wife my friend was run down health wise and the kids were always sick with allergies So I just couldn't stand the trouble this family was in. I would go out buy them food and put it at the door, but they always knew it was me because up til the time I moved there they never recieved food or any help from the cong. They were just a weak spritual family. There were times they had no cars but did one fucking single JW get off ther precious asses and drive the family to the KH. They were down to earth people and very appreciative.
The first assembly for us was coming up in July 1984, they didn't have a dime to make it to the assembly. I mentioned this to some of the elders, but never were they helped. The husband and wife had to get to the convention like everyone else so I decided to give the family 300,00 with a no return policy. It was my gift to t hem. Well my ex husband and his wide yap told brothers that we were helping out this family. I just wanted to kill him as I didn't want this to be made known it was a secret but no way my ex just had to make himself look like their saviour. Oh I was pissed. Well my father an elder called me over to his house we were next door neighbours, and he said to me I hear your giving a certain family some money to attend the assembly and i said yes and it is a g ift to them from me .
Well the bastard said if I give this family one red cent I would be disfellowshipped. I was so angry and upset and was furious with the elders my husband and then my father above all. So I said if I want to give a gift to someone that is non of your business, they are my friends. Well dear ole dad reiterated you go ahead and give them the money your days are numbered.
So I went over the the brother and sister and told them that due to my ex husbands big mouth my father got wind of my giving you money. He told me I would be disfellowshipped for it. But I said to them I am willing to take the risk so long as no one says anything. But we couldn't trust my husband.
So they said Terry never mind, we know that you are willing to help but we don't want to see you get disfellowshipped. I was so upset and I sure as hell knew they were hurting too.
The wife contacted her mother who was a disfellowshipped years ago and anyway my friend asked her mom never the less and believe it or not shse willing gave them money and said not to worry about it it was a gift from her. Well when this family did go to the assembly my father looked at me as if I had disobeyed him. He wondered how or who would give them this money. God can you believe this horror story , The elders are suppose to help families. I don't ever remember a time that I was as angry as I was with this incident. This family were facing a terrible winter, the husband finally found a job but it was 45 minutes away but he still hitch hiked much to the anger of the elders. I worried about them not having enough fuel in there tank. But I did have a few cords of wood on my property when I moved in . My friggin dad said don't you dare give that family any wood what so ever. He declared it was his. This was all after this incident that dad declared the wood was his. Well guess what as soon as my parents went out, I would fill my truck up with wood and at night take the wood over to their home. Of course the husband to me later he always knew it was me doing it because belieive or not he and his brother in law who owned the house before we bought it they were the ones who had chopped all that wood. So it in fact didn't befong to my father, my father was just being a prick.
I could tell you chapter two. but this is already long. But first of all , this was the first time I had the strongest urge to leave the organziation, second of all I wanted to divorce my husband for all the heartache he caused and all the lies he told my parents about me. I felt who wants to be a witness with jerks like this. I was devestated. It was the beginning of my decline in the organizaion it only took me though 14 years later.
This family also left or rather drifted completely away from the org after several years of trying to blend in with the congregation. I am happy they left it as well as their kids and me and my son left to.
Now my exhusband can't do anything and my father can't do anything as he passed away in 9 5,
Peace is what I have finally found and I hope that more and more witnesses will leave this unbelievable organization that make the claim that they are True Christian. Let me laugh my ass off.
God bless us all.
