15-years ago today, I was 40-years old. My wife was 39, my kids were 20, 18, 16, and 14. We were in our exit process to be completed by July 1992. I gave my last talk as a JW, the Memorial Talk. I resigned the following Sunday, giving up my position as Public Talk Coordinator, and never returned again ... except for a funeral, a wedding, and one last Memorial a year later (I didn't want to go, but I attended as a favor to one kind JW.)
I have No Questions, No Regrets, No Doubts, nor any Fears. Leaving the Watchtower organization was, and continues to be, the the right, best, and only good decision. I have no question in my mind that they are totally a fabricated religion with absolutely no divine direction or approval from God. I have no doubts that their teachings and doctrines are a corruption. I have no illusions that they lied about the Christian faith to suit themselves and their own spiritual orgasmic fantasies. The Watchtower leadership and their followers live in a ficititous world of their own creation, thinking they are above everyone else. They have the gall and audacity to think that God has selected them to lead all humanity into a paradise of their own designs.
The Watchtower Organization has made the names of Jehovah and Jesus Christ stink to the high heavens. They have no right to the name Jehovah and Jesus Christ, which they use for little more than marketing brands to sell their boring and pathetic literature that few really read. They have given numerous false prophecies and made themselves the subject of God's condemnation at Deuternomy 18:20-22. But, most of all ...
The Watchtower Society's record on pedophiles demonstrates, in my mind, their civil responsibility and criminal complicity of the worst possible behavoir. I will reveal some of these cases. What I will write about will make any decent person of any belief system want to vomit. What further fails me is how the victims, in some cases, were DF'd while mercy and concern were being given to those who molested those same DF'd victims ... victims who committed no crime, and who, in any normal sane Christian Church would never have been shunned and disfellowshipped.
What I have seen in the last 15-years not only confims my conviction that the Watchtower is a false religion, but that they are wicked. I cannot believe that they have the gall to continue to allow pedopohiles to run loose in thier midst. They still don't get it. Their current policies are still grossly ineffective. And, they do not see that this issue is going to bring their downfall and bankruptcy.
